Table of ContentsReviewsAt just the right moment--as art is increasingly recognized as a potent weapon in the ongoing fight against mass incarceration--this thoughtful, artful, humanizing analysis of music's role as an agent of healing and collective action is critical reading. --Dr. Baz Dreisinger, author of Incarceration Nations: A Journey to Justice in Prisons Around the World Music-Making in U.S. Prisons is an important work that demonstrates the power of collaborative musical art-making within prisons with an illustrative collection of examples from many locations and across timespans. This book is grounded in humanity, both an incarcerated individual's understanding of their own humanity, and society's perception of it within incarcerated people. I believe it will spark the imagination of many practitioners and could encourage more dramatic change in the prison-industrial complex through the mechanisms described: connecting people inside to the community outside and reinforcing the humanity and dignity of everyone involved. --Robert Pollock, Prison Writing Program Manager, PEN America Author InformationMary L.
