Men and women incarcerated in eight Minnesota prisons will deepen their craft knowledge, learn new writing skills, and develop an ongoing habit of art. MPWW instructors and staff will administer formal surveys to measure the impact of MPWW classes and other programs on student learning, growth, and development. Instructors will also assess first and final drafts of student work. 2: Incarcerated participants in MPWW classes and other programs will feel connected to a broader artistic community, both inside and outside of prison. Participant comments and survey ratings indicating they felt part of an engaged community or were inspired toward dialogue with others as a direct result of their MPWW participation.
