ACTA coordinated 27 residencies serving inmates in Valley State Prison, Pleasant Valley State Prison, Avenal State Prison, North Kern State Prison, California Correctional Institution, California State Prison, Los Angeles County, and California Rehabilitation Center. Residencies consisted of two 13-week courses in traditional arts forms including Native American bead work, Chicano murals and illustration, son jarocho, Afro-Colombian percussion, djembe, blues harmonica, and storytelling. ACTA worked closely with the artists and correctional staff to coordinate the residences and document the impact through site visits, photographs, videos, one-on-meetings with the artists and institution staff, and coordination of an outside evaluation project. Over 600 inmates participated in ACTA's program.	Desc
