THOMASTON — “Since ending Parole in 1976, Maine has seen a 400% increase in the number of people incarcerated,” said Watts Hall Community Arts, in a news release.
How did this happen? What is the effect on individuals, families, and communities? How does prison life affect rehabilitation and redemption? How can community support make a difference?

The exhibit of art created by residents of Maine State Prison will be available for viewing before and after the presentation.
