For sometime now I have been collecting snippets of info from the web relating to the arts in prison. I do not offer any editorial comment on the quality of each link - I just wanted to put the them all in one place. I hope it is of interest and/or use to someone.

Zeina Daccache Now Working in Baabda Women's Prison, Lebanon (Updated)
Those of you that have followed Zeina's work at Roumieh Prison (previous posts below) may know there have been a series of riots there over the years, and in April 2011 during a particularly bad incident, 3 prisoners died and the theatre was destroyed. At that point it was not clear whether her work could continue.
I am pleased to discover she is now working again, breaking new ground in one of the country's women's prison.
