“…These programs enable prisoners to temporarily escape their current restricting environment and experience a sense of freedom, happiness, and hope (Bilby et al, 2013;Brewster, 2010;Cohen, 2007;De Viggiani et al, 2010;Harbert, 2010;Tuastad & O'Grady, 2013;Winder et al, 2015; for a qualitative meta-synthesis see Kougiali et al, 2018). Pratt (1990) argued that music can create an "enclave of autonomy," an alternative psychological reality that can function as an imaginary "new life" within the existing reality. This imaginary reality may enable incarcerated individuals to mentally leave the prison, thus encouraging them to hope for a better future after serving their sentence.…”

Many studies discuss the impact of music programs on prison inmates. However, few studies have investigated the impact of music programs on formerly incarcerated individuals (FIIs), and none of them have focused on the programs’ characteristics. This phenomenological study explores the characteristics of a music-based rehabilitation program for FIIs. Five FIIs and three staff members who participated in a group music program were interviewed. The following four themes emerged: Continuity—the importance of the FIIs’ previous positive acquaintance with the program while still being in prison. Egalitarian approach—the importance of the staff treating the FIIs with understanding, tolerance, non-judgmentalism, and the use of an eye-level approach. Cultural sensitivity—the staff members’ sensitivity to the FIIs’ different backgrounds to form a connection. Playfulness—the program’s ability to break free from a “fight-or-flight” mode and experience a counter mode of playfulness. The findings are discussed through the perspective of positive criminology.

“…Generally, music has also been used as a source of ethnographic data, leading to a better understanding of a society (cf. Askew 2002;Cooper 1982;Firth 1987: Ntarangwi 2003aPerullo 2005) and as an expression of discontent with existing social and political structures (Berliner 1993;Eyerman and Jamison 1998;Hebdige 1975;Pratt 1990). More specifically, research on popular music in East Africa has also shown that music is an ideal tool through which to assess a variety of cultural realities of a given community or society.…”
