Dancers stage 'Freedom Time' show from inmates' stories at Bayamon women's prison
The Oct. 15 performance drew on stories written during confinement, part of a project linking Puerto Rico DCR, UPR and Dancing Through Prison Walls.
By Joaquín Santiago Nieves · 1hA dance performance built from stories written by incarcerated people was staged on Oct. 15 at the Bayamon women's correctional facility in Puerto Rico.
The work came out of a project called Freedom Time, a collaboration between the Puerto Rico Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR), the University of Puerto Rico, and the group Dancing Through Prison Walls.
