Abstract

ABSTRACTThe Second Chance Act of 2007 provided funding for an array of re-entry education programs aimed at helping prisoners succeed after their release. The debate team at the United States Penitentiary in Atlanta (USP–Atlanta) discussed re-entry education in a debate held in April 2017. Inspired by their arguments, this essay explores the rhetorical dimensions of re-entry education by way of the critical concepts of persuasive definition, agency, and voice. The speeches of the USP–Atlanta debaters and this essay complicate the notion of re-entry education by illuminating its rhetorical entailments.
