Rule 77 (1) Provision shall be made for the further education of all prisoners capable of profiting thereby, including religious instruction in the countries where this is possible. The education of illiterates and young prisoners shall be compulsory and special attention shall be paid to it by the administration. (2) So far as practicable, the education of prisoners shall be integrated with the educational system of the country so that after their release they may continue their education without difficulty. Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers to Member States on Education in Prison [R(89)12 (adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 13 October 1989)] § 1 All prisoners shall have access to education, which is envisaged as consisting of classroom subjects, vocational education, creative and cultural activities, physical education and sports and library facilities.
