Prison Arts Coalition
The Prison Arts Coalition is an organization dedicated to promoting arts programs in prisons across the United States. It aims to support the creative expression of incarcerated individuals through various artistic disciplines, including visual arts, music, and writing. By fostering these programs, the coalition seeks to enhance rehabilitation and reduce recidivism rates.
In addition to supporting arts initiatives, the coalition also advocates for policy changes that recognize the importance of arts in the criminal justice system. They provide resources, training, and networking opportunities for artists and organizations involved in prison arts, helping to create a more inclusive environment for creative expression within correctional facilities.
