Alfred who had served a 3.5 year sentence and was released from prison only a week before the recording of this interview. We talk about his growing up with the carnival spirit of St. Lucia, music as bliss and the problem with prison being an informal school for those wishing to continue with the criminal life. Phil who has worked in the music industry for many years and after meeting InHouse in prison whilst serving a 3.5 year sentence, has been producing artists on the label.

Michael Mau - a music producer who at the time of recording had left prison 4 weeks earlier, after serving 5 years.

We also talked with Jonno, a 24 year old artist who served a sentence of 18 months. We discuss the creative process as 'telling a story that you already know', the importance of not being distracted from your goals and how the experience of prison taught him patience.
