Abstract
“It’s like the ‘fish-bowl,’” said one of the incarcerated men to clarify a point about prison life. While I was not completely sure what the term “fish-bowl” referred to, I was certain that if I asked for clarification, the class session would no longer be a stable, controlled event. The classroom in question was a community-based learning setting which brings undergraduate (outside) students and incarcerated (inside) students on work-release together for a three-session component of an introductory level contemporary moral issues philosophy class. How many of us really knew what the “fish-bowl” was? How much did I as the teacher want control? I decided to ask for clarification.
