Reflection: Arts in Prisons
The Arts in Prison organization teaches arts and culture to the Lansing Correction Facility. It strives to create a positive environment where the inmates can be educated while also building self-confidence. Program manager Lynsey Becher, has volunteered and worked with the program for many years. She believes that having a “nonjudgmental environment” for the prisoners lets them grow and gain self worth. When the inmates are released from prison they have developed in a positive way, and are ready to reconnect with their community. Although the Arts in Prison program is growing, they do encounter challenges. Lynsey Becher mentioned that the Arts in Prison program wants to expand to the Women’s Correctional Facility
