Prison Songs (ATOM Study Guide)

The inmates of a Darwin prison are shown in a unique and completely new light in Australia's first-ever documentary musical. Incarcerated in tropical Northern Territory, over 800 inmates squeeze into the overcrowded spaces of Berrimah Prison. In an Australian first, the inmates share their feelings, faults and experiences in the most extraordinary way – through song.
