In what was once the bloodiest prison in America, inmates relatives will be invited to listen alongside other prisoners, to hear remarkable voices singing stories of hope and redemption. Let yourself to be swept away by one of Blues’ most soulful pilgrim daughters who is finding out if music really is an escape.
