For a second year at Capital House, The States of Jersey Prison Service is proud to present Inside Out 17, an annual showcase featuring a collection of art created by Prisoners from HM La Moye Prison. There is a wide evidence base to support the importance of arts in prisons in helping prisoners improve their resilience, develop skills, confidence, expression and wellbeing. This has proven to have a therapeutic effect and assists with greater emotional self-regulation.

The prisoners at La Moye are producing between 100 to 150 artworks. Each piece tells a story, offering glimpses into personal journeys, emotions, and reflections of the artists. The work ranges from paintings, to drawings, poetry, ceramics, and woodwork. Inside / Out is a rare opportunity to witness the creativity that can arise from adversity and the transformative power of art within prisons.

The exhibition aims to spark meaningful conversations, challenge perceptions, and promote understanding and empathy within our community. Inside / Out invites you to consider themes of rehabilitation, and the potential for personal growth. Considering the power of art as a transformative tool for healing and self-expression, ultimately empowering individuals to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to society.
