Review the Prezi on Miguel Pinero, author of Short Eyes and co-founder of the Nuyorican Poet's Cafe.
Question:
Review the Prezi on Miguel Pinero, author of Short Eyes and co-founder of the Nuyorican Poet's Cafe. Pinero wrote this award-winning play while imprisoned. Funding for literacy and arts-based programs in prison has declined in the last several decades after what has been characterized as an "arts prison renaissance" of the 1990s.
What do you think is the purpose of prison? Is there a gap between what prisons are supposed to do and what they do? What's your opinion about using art to help rehabilitate prisoners? What can that look like and who does it benefit? Consider Miguel Pinero here in your response. Should there be limitations to prison programs? If so, what and why? Lastly, who benefits from the Prison Industrial Complex?
