Physical Learning Environment and Inmates Participation in Post Literacy Project in Government Prisons in Kenya

Adult illiteracy remains a worldwide phenomenon in spite of numerous efforts being made by the government, church, community based and non governmental organizations. The phenomena surrounding adult illiteracy is fundamentally an abuse of human rights since, it deprives the adult their psychological, social and physical provisions. It is against this background that research was conducted in the Nairobi government prisons (GK prisons) to establish the extent to which physical learning environment influences the participation of inmates in the post literacy adult classes. Survey and naturalistic designs were employed.
