Arts in Prison is a nonprofit organization. Their comprehensive arts in corrections program believes offenders can change their lives. Their mission is to use the art to inspire positive change in the incarcerated, reduce recidivism, and reconnect formerly incarcerated with their communities. Arts in Prison offers services like programming in music, writing, gardening, yoga, and visual and performing arts in all units at Lansing Correctional Facility as well as at the Topeka Correctional Facility, The United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, and juvenile detention centers in the area. The program helps find undeveloped talents in the prison population and the need for arts programming to tap into these latent gifts as an empowering and creative tool for rehabilitation. They believe that offenders need an inclusive, non-judgmental atmosphere to change in addition to new skills and attitudes. Effective mentoring helps offenders shape their behavior patterns, and powerful experiences through various art forms can help transform the thinking and aspirations of offenders, volunteers and the community.
