The Second International Shakespeare in Prisons Conference:

January 25 - 27, 2016 

 

The Shakespeare in Prisons Network celebrates the transformative power of William Shakespeare's works in bridging the space between our shared humanity and the isolation typical of incarcerated individuals.  We accomplish this by building foundational skills vital to positive societal re-engagement: literacy, teamwork, self-confidence, purpose, and hope (Vision Statement).
