Connecting the Arts and Creativity in Scotland’s Prisons

Across Scotland, powerful creative work is happening behind the walls of the prisons here. From theatre to visual art, music to writing, dance to digital storytelling—people in custody are using the arts to rebuild confidence, develop new skills, and imagine different futures.

This website brings these projects together in one place. Here, you can explore the breadth of arts activity taking place in prisons nationwide, discover the organisations and artists leading the work, and hear directly from those whose lives are being transformed by creativity.
