This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire on arts activities in UK prisons. 35 prisons responded. It found that most prisons offer regular arts activities, especially in visual arts and music. Drama and dance were less common. Prisons expressed interest in expanding arts provision, particularly in drama. Funding often comes from prison budgets and charities. Barriers included lack of finances and negative media portrayal. The document provides examples of good practice arts projects in UK prisons.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers.
