In this self-reflective piece, the coauthors critically engage with their experiences using arts-based and mindfulness practices with incarcerated women and men and university students. We offer insights derived from teaching two separate arts-based courses in prison. The first focused on memoir-writing, a unique storytelling form in which a writer’s experiences take center stage. The second involved engaging with philosophy to discover more effective ways of living. The experiences of all concerned in these two classes emphasized the power of arts-based and mindfulness education to transform lives, both within and outside prison walls.

监狱中的艺术和正念：怀俄明州监狱回忆录和斯多葛哲学课程的例子

在这篇自我反思的文章中，合著者批判性地参与了他们使用基于艺术的正念练习与被监禁的女性和男性以及大学生的经历。我们提供从在监狱中教授两门独立的艺术课程中获得的见解。第一个侧重于回忆录写作，这是一种独特的讲故事形式，在这种形式中，作家的经历占据了中心位置。第二个涉及参与哲学以发现更有效的生活方式。这两个课程中所有相关人员的经历都强调了以艺术为基础的正念教育在改变监狱围墙内外的生活方面的力量。
