Arts in Prison, Inc. A Comprehensive Arts in Corrections Program
Creating art, using several types of medium, can have a profound impact on the rehabilitative process for prisoners.
The Arts in Prison Program, throughout several prisons in Kansas and Missouri, create life changing programs for prisoners – using art.
The Arts in Prison program believes that the practice of art in a group setting can greatly enhance positive thinking habits and and behaviors for prisoners and that these attitudes and self-adjustments can help with successful re-entry into society.
The mission statement of the Arts in Prison program is to: provide educational and personal growth opportunities through the arts for inmates, volunteers and community to motivate and inspire positive change. This program is designed to induce positive behavioral changes in inmates – this is very profound – as positive change can change imprisoned people into successful, participating, contributing members of the community that they will be released into.
