At the California Institution for Men, Dancing Frees Inmates
In California, after a funding drought in the 2000s, arts programs in prisons have been expanding since 2013, with programs in all state facilities since 2017. The trend is part of a nationwide effort to turn away from retribution toward rehabilitation, sometimes through the arts. One example that has succeeded despite conflicting with prison norms about masculinity is Embodied Narrative Healing at the California Institution for Men, a class in dance that a New York Times reporter describes after attending the classes at the Chino, Calif., prison and at another in Lancaster over nearly three years. “Dance has a sense of liberation and agency,” said Amie Dowling, a choreographer and professor at the University of San Francisco with more than 20 years of experience working in prisons. This can be threatening to “systems of control and containment, like prisons,” she said. But the men in Chino did indeed take to dance, which suggests a shift in ideas about which opportunities should be offered to people in prison.
