In July of 2021, the Prison Education Program sent its first Learning Engagement and Activities Packets (LEAP) to OSP. LEAP is for folks in special housing units, and the idea for the project originally came from leaders on the inside. Readers can reflect on a range of open-ended prompts that encourage creative thinking and expression. PEP receives and responds to the variety of insightful ideas that people share in writing and art. With packets having now gone to hundreds of people at OSP, we’ve been blown away by the level of engagement and thoughtfulness.
