Initiated in 1995, the program consists of movement, writing, American Sign Language and visual arts workshops and culminates in a performance by institution residents and for the outside community. Keeping the Faith creates a rare forum for cultural development among incarcerated women by facilitating the exploration and expression of both individual and collective identity.
