Rehabilitation Through the Arts: Breaking the cycle of incarceration

Sing Sing Correctional Facility is 40 miles and a world away from New York City. For almost 200 years, a grim monument to the theory that harsh discipline discourages former inmates from returning to a life of crime.

It's a flawed theory. A national study by the Department of Justice found that 60% of former inmates are back behind bars within three years.

Which is what gives the movie "Sing Sing" such resonance.
