The study explores how prisoners view online education while confined to a jail and makes the claim that a dedication to learning is unbreakable. It uses a qualitative methodology and an interpretive paradigm to conduct interviews inside a Namibian prison. Thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews showed that Namibia's legal system was beginning to place more emphasis on rehabilitation and community reintegration. The government of Namibia is committed to prisoner rehabilitation, as seen by its facilitation of e-learning for inmates. Prisons are seen by some convicts as opportunities for personal growth, even when studying from a distance presents difficulties. Sometimes bureaucratic obstacles get in the way of educational goals, even in the face of requests for support and access. According to the study, administrative obstacles like resource shortages or access restrictions may make it more difficult for inmates to take advantage of educational opportunities. Essentially, the study emphasizes the tenacity of prisoners who are dedicated to improving their lives via education, while also drawing attention to structural issues that must be resolved in the prison system to support successful remote learning programs.
