Abstract
Various social and humanitarian groups aim to help individuals create a different way of living when they are in imprisoned for a crime or misdemeanour. The creative arts have a role to play in exploring identity and new options and institutions can assist with developing skills for people learning how to communicate through the tactile and imaginative world using graffiti and writing workshops. This project describes how various stakeholders in this endeavour can contribute to building the capacity of penal institutions to integrate creativity in their educational programming.
