Poetry emotion: Words set them free [US]:
[...] Places like the MCI-Framingham women's prison, where Elizabeth Lund teaches poetry.

''I was attracted to the idea of writing as a transformative experience," says Lund, who writes reviews for the Christian Science Monitor and is editor of its online poetry site. [...]

In describing another woman, who is mentally ill and takes strong psychotropic medications, Lund says, ''Poetry is one of the only things that keeps her balanced. I can literally see her stepping back from the edge when she starts talking about something she's writing.

So... Lund teaches poetry on a window ledge or something? I'm surprised the prison allows it.
