Shakespeare Behind Bars

Shakespeare Behind Bars Founder of Shakespeare Behind Bars, Inc. www.shakespearebehindbars.org

Shakespeare Behind Bars was founded on the beliefs that all human beings are inherently good, and that although convicted criminals have committed heinous crimes against other human beings, this inherent goodness still lives deep within them and must be called forth. Participation in the program can effectively change our world for the better by influencing one person at a time, awakening him or h

er to the power and the passion of the goodness that lives within all of us. SBB offers participants the ability to hope and the courage to act despite their fear and the odds against them. SBB 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.
