Arts program brings Grammy guitarist to prison

Grammy-winning guitarist Bill Frisell performed for inmates at Collins Bay Institution, marking the second time the musician has played at the facility. The performance was part of the Pros and Cons Prison Arts Program, which has expanded to five correctional institutions over thirteen years, enabling inmates to record and release four albums. The program aims to provide inmates with creative outlets and a sense of agency, fostering collaboration and personal growth, with plans to expand nationwide.
