Across the world, performing arts programs are increasing in number, scope and professionalism. They attract increasing academic and media attention. Theoretical and applied research, organisational evaluation reports, documentary films and journalism are detailing prison arts and create recognition that this body of work is becoming a valued part of the correctional enterprise. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests music, theatre, poetry and dance can contribute to prisoner wellbeing, management, rehabilitation and reintegration. Performing Arts in Prisons: Captive Audiences explores prison arts in Australia, USA, UK and Chile, and creates a new framework for understanding its practices.
