VOICED : Polish prisoners put paint

Inmates at a Polish prison are discovering hidden artistic talents through a painting program. The initiative aims to help prisoners like Malgorzata, who has had her sentence reduced due to good behavior, by building confidence and exploring spiritual themes. The program is set in a culturally rich region, predominantly Catholic but with a strong Polish Orthodox presence. The art classes provide peace and spiritual growth for the inmates. Currently limited by funding, the program hopes to expand, offering more inmates the chance to engage in art.
