In addition to the T2R bitter taste receptors, neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have recently been shown to be involved in the bitter taste transduction of nicotine, acetylcholine and ethanol. However, at present it is not clear if nAChRs are expressed in enteroendocrine cells other than beta cells of the pancreas and enterochromaffin cells, and if they play a role in the synthesis and release of neurohumoral peptides. Accordingly, we investigated the expression and functional role of nAChRs in enteroendocrine STC-1 cells. Our studies using RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, immunohistochemical and Western blotting techniques demonstrate that STC-1 cells express several α and …
Teaching Compassion In Prison: A Key To Learning, Em Strang
Teaching Compassion In Prison: A Key To Learning, Em Strang
Journal of Prison Education and Reentry (2014-2023)
In a project with long-term prisoners at HMP Dumfries, Scotland, tutors and students explore the notion and application of compassion, focusing in particular on the ways in which understanding compassion enables learning – not just the learning of academic subjects but also of interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence. The project highlights the benefits of teaching a so-called extracurricular subject, at the same time as revealing its centrality to learning in the first place. A lack of adequate teaching time in prison, and the fact that compassion is not considered a core subject in education, are both cited as obstacles in …

Journal of Prison Education and Reentry (2014-2023)
The purpose of this study was to offer preliminary support for the Louisiana Sex Offender Treatment Program (LSOTP) in addressing the needs of juvenile sex offenders. Research objectives were (1) to offer statistical evidence for reductions in anxiety, depression, cognitive distortion and negative attitudes towards women comparing a group of 21 adolescents, 12 of whom received services as usual and nine of whom participated in the LSOTP. A controlled experimental evaluation design was utilized. The juvenile sex offenders were randomly assigned to the experimental group for 12 weeks receiving treatment services and a control group receiving care “as usual” in …
Teachers’ Beliefs – Believing In Teaching Incarcerated Persons (English Version), Monika Schumacher
Teachers’ Beliefs – Believing In Teaching Incarcerated Persons (English Version), Monika Schumacher
Journal of Prison Education and Reentry (2014-2023)
Abstract This article gives insight into a German as a foreign language course in a prison in the German speaking part of Switzerland. From the perspective of the teacher, the author reflects on beliefs and assumptions regarding professional issues which are carried into this specific learning setting and challenges these by contrasting them with anecdotal accounts. She advocates the view that rather than try and do away with beliefs teachers should believe in incarcerated person’s capability to learn and achieve.
Wovon Wir Als Lehrperson Überzeugt Sind Und Wie Wir Gefangene Als Lernende Sehen (Deutsch Version), Monika Schumacher
Wovon Wir Als Lehrperson Überzeugt Sind Und Wie Wir Gefangene Als Lernende Sehen (Deutsch Version), Monika Schumacher
Journal of Prison Education and Reentry (2014-2023)
Dieser Artikel bietet einen Einblick in einen Deutschkurs für Fremdsprachige in einer geschlossenen Justizvollzugsanstalt in der Deutschschweiz. Aus der Perspektive der Lehrenden denkt die Autorin über Annahmen und Überzeugungen nach, die man in ein solches, doch eher spezielles Lernsetting mitbringen könnte. Ihren Überlegungen stellt sie Begebenheiten aus ihrem Unterrichtsalltag im Vollzug gegenüber. Sie kommt zum Schluss, dass es nicht in erster Linie darum gehen kann, Überzeugungen einer Lehrperson zu verändern bzw. überwinden – vielmehr ist es im genannten Kontext wichtig, an die Gefangenen und ihr Potenzial als Lernende zu glauben.
Book Review: Unlocking Minds In Lockup, June Edwards
Book Review: Unlocking Minds In Lockup, June Edwards
Journal of Prison Education and Reentry (2014-2023)
Education is a powerful tool that not only opens doors within prisons, but international research would indicate education also, and more crucially, prevents men and women from re-entering those same doors back to prison. Therefore Jan Walker’s recently published Unlocking Minds in Lockup: Prison Education Opens Doors is a welcome addition to the already rich literature on this subject.

Barriers To Participation In Vocational Orientation Programmes Among Prisoners, Dorien Brosens, Liebeth De Donder, Sarah Dury, Dominique Verté
Journal of Prison Education and Reentry (2014-2023)
This study investigates the barriers to prisoners’ participation in vocational education, as well as the predictors of different types of barriers. Survey data derived from a project in a remand prison in Belgium (N=468) provided the empirical evidence for the analyses. The results indicate that facing situational and informational barriers are most common. Based on the different kinds of barriers, various types of non-participants can be distinguished and multinomial logistic regression analyses are conducted to identify in what way participants of vocational education differ from various types of non-participants. For instance, prisoners with a poor understanding of the Dutch language …

The benefits of service-learning are often highlighted; however, there is not much discussion surrounding the challenges. This list provides challenges that partners, students and instructors may encounter in service-learning along with potential strategies for addressing them. This list was compiled by participants in the Spring 2015 VCU Service-Learning Institute.
