“WHOS has staged productions at William Head Institution with actors from the community joining with inmate actors to perform in plays. There have been very few security breaches associated with WIIOS over the years. The success of the WIIOS is evident, with the Victoria Times Colonist calling it ‘the only North American prison-theatre troupe regularly performing for the public.’ (Contact)
