Program accomplishments

  • William James Association Prison Arts Project conducts art workshops for incarcerated individuals. Two studies show benefits to society. A cost benefit analysis demonstrates that benefits of the art program exceed the cost through reduced disciplinaries for inmates. A recidivism study conducted by the California Department of Corrections shows recidivism is halved for inmates who participate in the arts program for 6 months following incarceration. Programs with incarcerated and high-risk youth show similar results on the local level. Artistic creation demands self-discipline, program solving, cooperation, empathy, and goodwill toward others, all of which are of use to members of these populations during incarceration and after release.
