Compas Post-Program survey showed 100% of the women learned new styles and techniques of writing. 90% of the women would like to continue writing at Loft Literacy Center upon release from jail.; Quantitative outcomes, i.e. the number of offenders' participating in the program. Compas will provide both a pre and post survey for all participants to fill out to gauge qualitative measures, e.g. expressing themselves and self-esteem.

I will document the program participant count and the number of female offenders who attend the program(s). Compas has devised a Women's Writing Program Post-Evaluation that will be handed out to all program participants after each session.; Compas Inc. will provide pre and post performance feedback in the paper form. We will once again conduct a participant count. After every session compas, myself and the artist(s) have a debriefing as to what we can do to make the performance better for the next time.; Compas Inc. will provide pre and post performance feedback in the paper form.

We had one artist that was able to reach 32 writers over three sessions. We had approximately 20-30 people attend the readings of each session except the third due to Covid-19. Of the 32 writers all gained writing knowledge and gained knowledge about themselves. All of the 32 writers would recommend this program for future female offenders.
