After two months in an art class taught by a volunteer artist, Francis Ramirez rediscovered in jail the artistic talents he had as a teenager.

The program is run by Reston artist Kelli Schollard-Sincock and is one of more than 100 programs at the county’s jail aimed at helping to rehabilitate inmates and teach life skills.
