These Prisoners Are Earning Their Freedom With Music | With Tom Morello & Wayne Kramer

For the thousands of outlaws who are now trapped behind bars, music is their only escape. Punk rock forefather Wayne Kramer has put the power of music into the hands of the incarcerated at 100 prisons nationwide with his program Jail Guitar Doors. As a former inmate himself, he understands how healing music can be.

Jail Guitar Doors is the loudest charity on planet earth. It's a non-profit organization that distributes acoustic guitars and other musical instruments for use by inmates. He and other musicians lead songwriting workshops and jam sessions with the aim of helping rehabilitate prisoners and giving them a positive outlet for expression.

Besides offering tips to inmates on music and life, Jail Guitar Doors gives Kramer an opportunity to make the case for prison reform, both to help inmates return to society and to reduce what he calls "hyper incarceration'' laws and policies. By that he means fixed-sentencing laws, California's three-strike mandatory life terms, heavy sentences for drug offenders, and massive public spending on locking up more violators, sometimes in for-profit prisons.
