Opis:This research article examines college education for students in prison, its achievements and/successes, difficulties and needs based on the perspective of a group of students incarcerated in various Costa Rican prisons.  This study is based on a complementary research design and includes a quantitative and qualitative exploratory phase as well as collective knowledge construction.  This was determined using a survey answered by a representative sample of the entire student body enrolled in the college program for La Reforma prison complex. The qualitative phase was conducted through an operational group workshop.  The results show the great success of prison college programs and highlight the positive impact on the students.  It also reveals existing needs and gaps inherent to this educational context.  We can conclude, after analyzing the results, that college prison education is a protective factor for its students, helping to deter idleness as well as dangerous contexts associated with everyday prison life.
