My web site has long featured writing by prisoners. But music has played a major part of the prison experience. Prison music has not only been important to those on the inside, it has influenced popular culture in many ways -- from the music of Leadbelly to modern rock.

Not a prisoner or one who does songs about prisoners. But an amazing guitarist and singer.
