An anonymous piece of artwork from one of the prisoners at Pittsburgh Institution
David Corley wrote a song and gave it to his friend and producer, Hugh Christopher Brown. Chris took the song to the prisoners that he mentors at Pittsburgh Institution in Canada in a program called Pros and Cons Program. The result, along with an entire album of other songs, is a powerful reminder of humanity at its finest, regardless of prison walls.
