Rideout (Creative Arts for Rehabilitation) was established in 1999 in order to develop innovative, arts-based approaches to working with prisoners and staff within U.K. prisons. They have retained a special emphasis on working in the Midlands where the company is based. This prison-bound work has additionally extended to encompass national issues of prison and criminal justice reform. Since 2014 Rideout’s portfolio has diversified to also include work with non-offending populations, especially autistic adults and/or adults with mild learning disabilities who live in the North Staffordshire region.
