- More about Music-Making in U.S. Prisons: Listening to Incarcerated Voices
The U.S. incarceration machine imprisons more people than any other country, but music-making can play a role in achieving accountability and healing. Cohen and Duncan's book synthesizes historical research, contemporary practices, and pedagogies of music-making inside prisons, revealing that choirs, instrumental ensembles, and radio shows bridged lives before the 1970s tough-on-crime era. Despite the negative impact of mass incarceration, current programs testify to the potency of music education to support personal and social growth and deepen social awareness of the prison industrial complex.

The United States of America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with more people behind bars than any other country. Music-Making in U.S. Prisons explores the role of music-making in achieving accountability and healing goals that challenge the widespread belief that prisons and punishment keep societies safe. The book's synthesis of historical research, contemporary practices, and pedagogies of music-making inside prisons reveals that, prior to the 1970s tough-on-crime era, choirs, instrumental ensembles, and radio shows bridged lives inside and outside prisons. However, mass incarceration had a significant negative impact on music programs. Despite this setback, current programs testify to the potency of music education to support personal and social growth for people experiencing incarceration and deepen social awareness of the humanity found behind prison walls. Cohen and Duncan argue that music-making creates opportunities to humanize the complexity of crime, sustain meaningful relationships between incarcerated individuals and their families, and build social awareness of the prison industrial complex. The authors combine scholarship and personal experience to guide music educators, music aficionados, and social activists to create restorative social practices through music-making.
