Teaching Art Behind the Prison Walls

By John Walters on Thursday, June 21, 2001.

Sylvia Brofos lives in Contoocook, where she has an art studio, does watercolors, and also teaches. But once a week, she leads a unique group of students, at the state women?s prison in Goffstown. It began as a six-week program, but that was ten years ago, and she still finds women who want to participate. She talked about the program, the art her students produce, and what they gain from the experience.
