Abstract
Prisons are total institutions. One of their characteristics is that all areas of their inmates’ lives, without exception, are subjected to the comprehensive control of an authority. The rules and regulations serve to achieve the institutional goal: in relation to prisons, these are to ensure atonement for crimes committed, to protect society from criminals and to reform prisoners. Nevertheless, a total institution does not only involve coercion. Within certain limits, there can certainly be scope for action. Teaching in prisons is one of these areas of life. This can be described as a peripheral area of research in the 19th century. It is often addressed in overarching issues relating to the penal system and its reform. From the perspective of the total control of all actions in prisons by its inmates, the lessons taught in schools in the 19th century will be examined using the example of the Nuremberg cell prison. At the time, this prison was considered one of the most modern of its kind and has an extensive history. The focus is on the following questions: What were the general conditions for teaching at the Nuremberg cell prison? What was the lesson like as a result? Was there scope for action and could this be used for teaching?
