This document discusses adult education programs in Hull, UK, including those that operate inside and outside of prisons. It summarizes that Hull Adult Education operates in the community and in two local prisons, providing courses from basic literacy to hobbies. It also outlines issues like high rates of former prisoners reoffending due to low education levels. Two key programs discussed are "On the Out," providing basic skills courses to ex-offenders after release, and "Prison! Me! No-way!," an initiative that aims to dissuade youth from crime through realistic portrayals of prison life. Family learning programs that bring parents and children together are also highlighted.
