The actual outcomes of our project included (a) a reduction in physical barriers to arts participation for residents of the Stillwater and Shakopee correctional facilities, who received video programming teaching them music created specifically for them and with texts by incarcerated writers, and (b) connection of 8 composers to new audiences inside correctional facilities, education for these composers about the carceral system in the U.S., and relationship-building among composers and between composers and incarcerated text-writers. Actual evaluation methods included interviews/conversations with participants (composers and some incarcerated participants), interviews/conversations with board/staff/leaders, and reviewing recorded information or documentation; due to prison barriers, we were not able to submit and receive responses to surveys from incarcerated participants by the project end date.
