What Indiana Prison Writers Workshop Inc does
Mission
Indiana prison writers workshop was created to improve the lives of those incarcerated through creative writing and expression.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We use our resources to deliver programs in corrections facilites that welcome our work supportively and enable us to serve individuals who self- identify as interested in the program. Our programs consist of 12 weeks of varied writitng assignments in which participants explore their thoughts and creativity, producing and sharing their work. Our instructors provide feedback to support improvement in the quality of writing. We have served over 200 individuals since inception and our first program study conducted by indiana university's public policy institute identified several areas where the limited data indicated improvement in participants emotional state while incarcerated and reduced the average number of infractions. Several of our participants have been published as a result of sustaining their learning and practice of writing.
