Adult Prison Programs

Shakespeare Behind Bars facilitates several programs for incarcerated adults, including the original SBB program and the Journeymen program for young adults.


Shakespeare Behind Bars

By immersing participants in the nine-month process of producing a Shakespeare play, Shakespeare Behind Bars uses the healing power of the arts, transforming inmate offenders from who they were when they committed their crimes, to who they are in the present moment, to who they wish to become.
