The Steering Group of the Prison Arts Network met in The Netherlands in Vught on November 6-9, 2008 to plan and cooridinate the many activities of the network, including a huge conference in Denmark in the summer of 2009.
The host of the meeting was Legs Boelen from the prison JI Vught. Besides of the meeting, the SG visited the prison of Legs and was very impressed of the status of the use of arts in the prison. A record of the visit can be found on the PAN Flickr archive.

Open
The book OPEN is a result of a Dutch rule that 1% of building costs must be spend for arts. Inmates and staff from JI Vught in the Netherlands have taken photos in the prison and filled in questionnaires on their favorite images and dreams.
Artist H. W. Werther worked over a year on the project.
The mix of photoes from the prison and photoes reflecting the dreams of inmates and staff was printed in the book. The book does not contain words but only the images.
There is a copy of OPEN in all cells and inmates are welcome to bring it with them on release.
You have to be an inmate of Vught in order to receive a copy of this extraordinary book.
