- Synopsis
- This book is an Open Access book. This book discusses engaging prisoners in therapeutic art. It has been prepared for an academic and professional readership and has policy implications for prison governance worldwide. Following years of piloting research, the book presents a prototype for sensitively attuned art therapy delivery that promises new pathways for prisoner rehabilitation. The book is grounded in empirical inquiry, rests on a unique triangulated methodology, and presents results that are informed by the experience of acquiring artistry in incarceration. It also features data from a public art exhibition showcasing prisoner art generated &‘on the inside&’. Offering recommendations for research, policy and practice, this book will be a welcome resource for researchers, art therapists, chaplaincy and parole services, criminologists, and policymakers, among others.
