Now in its third year at Capital House, ArtHouse Jersey is proud to be working with the States of Jersey Prison Service to present Inside Out 18, an annual showcase featuring art created by prisoners from HM La Moye Prison. 

There is a wide evidence base to support the importance of arts in prisons in helping prisoners improve their resilience, develop skills, confidence, expression and wellbeing. This has proven to have therapeutic effect and assists with greater emotional self-regulation. 

The prisoners at La Moye are producing between 100 to 150 artworks. Each piece tells a story, offering glimpses into personal journeys, emotions and reflections of the artists. The work ranges from paintings to drawings, poetry, ceramics and woodwork. Inside Out is a rare opportunity to witness the power of creativity that can arise from adversity and the transformative power of art within prisons.  The exhibition aims to spark meaningful conversations, challenge perceptions and promote understanding and empathy within our community.
