Dialogical spaces let prisoners develop identity positions through ideological struggle

Evidence

In such spaces, “existing [identity] positions are further developed and new and commonly constructed [identity] positions have a chance to emerge” (Hermans & Hermans-Konopka, 2010, p. 6). These dialogical spaces create an opportunity for students in jails and prisons to experiment in processes of “ideological becoming” (Fecho & Clifton, 2017), which Bakhtin (1981a) described as “an intense struggle within us among various verbal and ideological points of view, approaches, directions, and values” (p. 342). — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 393
