A Charles Darwin University (CDU) arts program could soon give corrections impacted students the opportunity to work towards a degree. Since 2019 Dr Adelle Sefton-Rowston has been teaching women in the Darwin Correctional Centre how to express themselves through writing and the creative arts. About 50 students between ages 18 to mid-60s have participated in the program. Dr Sefton-Rowston, who has conducted significant research into prison education programs, is exploring the possibility of introducing course credits after attending a two-week summer residency with the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI) in New York.
