Bars to Learning
Prison Rule 1 states that convicted prisoners should be helped to 'lead a good and useful life'. In all prisons there are now education departments, set up to provide a range of classes for the inmates. But can such classes really help prisoners and what place does education hold within an institution where confinement and overcrowding are the major lessons of prison life?
The Education Programme goes into Leeds prison to see how learning works behind the walls.

Eric Laithwaite, the controversial inventor who pioneered the linear electric motor, also has one of the best butterfly collections in Britain. He now sees natural engineering feats, not just in butterfly wings but in the whole of the plant and animal kingdoms.
He shows us natural versions of 'human' inventions such as gyroscopes, velcro, sonar, holography, jet propulsion, diffraction gratings and liquid crystals... In every case, nature got there first - and often uses the 'invention' for an entirely different purpose than we do.
