Dance in Prisons

Dance in Prisons explores the transformative potential of dance as both a therapeutic tool and a means of rehabilitation within correctional facilities globally. It examines how structured movement can provide incarcerated individuals with an avenue for emotional expression, social skill development, and personal growth. Intriguingly, dance can assist in trauma recovery and potentially reduce recidivism by fostering empathy and emotional regulation. The book argues that dance offers a unique way for incarcerated individuals to reconnect with their bodies and process difficult experiences.

The book begins by introducing dance/movement therapy and its applications within prisons. It then progresses by examining the psychological benefits of dance, offering case studies of successful programs in different countries, and addressing the ethical considerations of implementing arts-based programs in carceral environments. This approach allows the book to present a comprehensive view of dance's role in prison rehabilitation, highlighting its potential for fostering positive change and advocating for a more holistic approach to corrections.
