APAEP provides access to sustained and quality educational experiences in the arts and humanities that prisoners in Alabama would not otherwise have access to. These learning experiences contribute to the positive development of the person. As one Warden said of our programming, “I can always tell who is a participant in the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Programming because they present an air of purpose, they are challenged and driven to succeed in learning. They know education is a key for their success when they get out.”
