About 100 inmates attended the concert, which featured musicians from the Canadian foundation Looking at the Stars. The event aimed to offer inmates a moment of reflection and joy through music. Many inmates expressed appreciation, with some stating it was their first live music experience in years. The performances are being considered for regular inclusion in prison programming.
