Among education and correction measures in prison, vocational skills training of inmates intends to promote socialization of inmates, and can improve the employment of released prisoners. It is also an effective measure to reduce recidivism.The west world has certain theories based on research on the function of the inmates vocational skills, training content and training method, and attaches great importance to the adult education theory and professional participating in prison reformation too. At present, Chinese scholars, who are researching on inmates vocational skills training, suggested that insufficient financial security, training programs, teachers weakness, backward teaching conditions, short training schedule are the main problems in the vocational skills training of inmates. However our research on the correctional education mostly focus on socialization,the ideological and political education of inmates. Unfortunately, most of our researchers ignored technical education of inmates. At the same time, most existing study gave priority to research from the perspective of law, criminology and management, and less is from the view of pedagogy.The paper researches on inmates vocational skills training and related issues in China, and mainly adopts the questionnaire survey method, literature method and comparison method. The main contents of this paper are: present situation and existing problems of inmates vocational skills training; influence factors of the inmates vocational skills training; countermeasures and thinking of inmates vocational skills training in China from the adult education perspective.
