(Artwork attached) There is a clear link between taking part in arts based activities and the movement towards a long term, non-offending future. Many of the men are moved to Brixton for the final stretch of their sentence so for us to be delivering these workshops at such a pivotal time for the men further emphasizes the need for work like this. Offenders who engage in the arts are 18% less likely to reoffend and we hope that this pilot project can be the beginning of a long term relationship with Brixton Prison.
