This photo provided by Sommer Sharpe shows an inmate playing a musical instrument at Lee Correctional Institution in Bishopville, S.C. on Wednesday, March 22, 2017. A chamber ensemble affiliated with Carnegie Hall has been at Lee Correctional Institution this week, working with about 40 inmates to create music of their own. The nonprofit is called Decoda, which promotes music as inmate rehabilitation. For four years, Juilliard-trained cellist Claire Bryant has been bringing the group to prison for weeklong workshops of composing, training and performing. On Saturday, the inmates are set to perform a version of this year's work. (Sommer Sharpe via AP)
