Question

1. Read the following text, then underline unknown words, search in the dictionary.
ART IN PRISION
There are many people in prisons around the world. Therefore, with the aim of rehabilitating, distracting or preparing prisoners to rejoin society, many prisons have development programs for inmates. A common program in several prisons is “arts behind bars”. “Arts behind bars” is not a single project, it is a set of workshops such as needlework in male prisons, arts projects, or collaborative stage shows. One of the objectives is to channel the strong feelings that lead to confinement, violence or danger. All this trapped energy can stimulate the creativity of the prisoners and come out in the form of art as a way of reform or rehabilitation. Another objective is to build critical awareness and confidence by learning and mastering a skill as a liberating experience through knowledge. Some prisons have live music presentations or shows where the prisoners are spectators. Others have a great number of projects of art created with and by prisoners. Some projects are the creation of literary works, paintings, confections and sculptures. An example of art created in prison is the film “Modelo estéreo” where Garo and My Friend, two ex-convicts, show the music that is created in the “La Modelo” prison in Colombia.
