Abstract
This study examines the development and implementation of the first creative arts psychotherapy program in a United States prison system. It examines the purpose and goals of the program as well as the methods by which it became integrated into the legal and correctional systems. Statistical trends of patient involvement and program expenses indicate the theoretical effectiveness of the program. The discussion section relates the difficulties and other considerations of establishing the program with a review of literature on the psychology and history of prisons. Also included in the discussion section are samples of prisoners' creative writing and an appeal for further research into this nascent approach to forensic psychotherapy.
