Returning Citizens: Life Beyond Incarceration
With Rigor and With Love
Season 1
Episode 101
The Philadelphia Mural Arts Project provides an opportunity for probationers and inmates to learn new skills, to channel their energy into repairing harm instead of their repeating mistakes. Anger and despair are replaced by pride in creativity and self-expression. Not art for art’s sake; art for our sake.
