Over the 25 years since the company was founded, we have developed a ground-breaking, interrelated programme of artistic work that builds a bridge from prison to social reintegration, prevents young people from entering the criminal justice system, and inspires change by capturing the imagination and affecting the feelings, behaviours and attitudes of participants and the public.
