What inmates are saying about songwriting in prison:
“I got some anger out and found some peace.” - Inmate at BCCX serving a 30 year sentence
“When we had the event, I was extremely depressed. The things we learned about, how to use music to express ourselves, helped pull me out of my depression. I’ve never been good at expressing myself.” - Inmate at the BCCX Women’s Facility
“This songwriting class has pulled me out of my dark place. Music is going to make me stronger.” - Inmate at the BCCX Women’s Facility
“The greatest benefit of the class is that it opened up an avenue for me to emote. In here, we have to push things down, and when it comes out, it’s explosive. This class gave me an avenue to feel again.” - Inmate serving a life sentence at Walker State Prison
