Criminal Justice and Psychology Departments are excited to host a presentation

Dr. Katherine Vockins, Honorable William Hanauer
and an alumnus of Rehabilitation through the Arts
Wednesday,
September 28th at 11am in the Montauk Point Room
RTA works in five maximum and medium security
prisons including Sing Sing and Bedford Hills Correctional Facilities. The
program uses theatre, dance music, voice, writing and visual arts as tools to
develop life skills and change behavior patterns. RTA has launched a program
with its alumni to develop a play about the experience and challenges of coming
home. It will be staged in New York City in early 2017 and then be brought back
inside the walls to help the incarcerated better prepare for release.
Rehabilitation through the Arts is dedicated to criminal
justice issues and has recently begun a consulting venture in order to
disseminate the RTA model nationwide.
