"Yet art programs for prisoners are becoming more and more common and their benefits are becoming clearer."
"It should not be surprising that prisoners are interested in art. Many great artists have spent time in prison. Oscar Wilde spent time in prison, as did Dostoyevsky. Dostoyevsky's time in prison informed much of his later work."
"The increase in prison art projects is a positive development. One can only hope that as prison officials and politicians see creative value in prisoners, they can apply that creative perspective to the system itself."
2008 graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, David Vognar worked for the Jane Addams Hull House Association in Chicago as a literacy aide in a Head Start preschool and will be attending the School of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago in the fall of 2012.
