Welcome to escapelink.org,  the European Site for Creative Arts in Prison Education

This site is designed to provide a virtual multimedia gallery exhibition space for artwork, music, poetry and drama by prisoners who attend classes primarily in European Prison Education Centres. Art exhibitions, drama productions, music performances and publication of writings provide the students with the opportunity to have their work seen and heard by those outside the prison gates. We hope and expect that this site will provide a platform for their work to be viewed by a wider audience and extend this viewing beyond the lifespan of an exhibition or performance. The site also contains articles by prison teachers which taken collectively give an overview of creative arts education in European prisons. We invite teachers from European prisons to submit work by their students. For contact details and how to submit work by prisoners see: escape site contact.pdf  The contact information may change from time to time to avoid spam so use this link to contact us.
