What do you think of Billy's Jail Guitar Doors sceme

I had a little chat with Billy about this when i had the privalage of meeting him after a concert in holmfirth earlier this year. He made a lot of sense when he said the idea was to provide an alternative life outside to crime. Its a good idea, we have such a high level of recidevism that any initiative is welcome blessed be

I think his scheme is really good. If prison is to rehabilitate and this has been shown to work I do not see why the government does not invest in things like this. Most inmates have had rough lifes, who have never had the oppotunity to express themselves in positive ways. If this gives them the chance to do so, it is all for the good. I remember a similar scheme on art in prisons, when inmates were given the chance to express themselves through paintings and drawings and what they produced was amazing. I am definately in favour of what Billy Bragg has done. He is my working class hero. I used to go and see him in concert years ago and i still believe in his socialist views!!! Good Discussion!!
