"I felt stuck in limbo—stuck because I knew a lot about what not to do. I had given up most of my bad habits and examined my heart and mind with help from counselors, both inmates and professionals, but still had no real purpose. Nothing to do. At the prison there was a program called Musicambia that brings teachers in every week for music theory and performance classes....I thought: I have to get into this program."
