      <![CDATA[I agree with both sides. I have friends who have been locked up and I would want them to have music. I empathize with the prison's standpoint. But if my wife or family were harmed or worse, I don't know if I would be able to say I want the person who took them away to have any privileges behind bars. I would want them to rot in a brick room with no windows for eternity.

      <![CDATA[Nice with the Tortoise. Interesting. I would think feds would want a pacified population of prisoners. It seems smarter to let them have music as much as I don't think a murderer should have the right. Hmm.

      <![CDATA[I reached out to thank Supremo for his comment and asked him a couple more questions. Adding it here as I think it's relevant:<br />
<br />
Supremo said, "There was no reception on the am/fm radios because most prisons are in the middle of nowhere. It was hell."<br />
<br />
<strong>Is the fact that the federal prisons allow no real music and tv a deterrent for people committing crimes?</strong><br />
<br />
Supremo: "I don't think people think about what they will be able to have and not have in prison when they're out there commiting crimes, so I don't think it's a deterrent. It was for me though."

      <![CDATA[hey great artical. i can relate to this so much becuase when i was in prison it was the music that kept me alive i remember ordering cassete tapes threw a older company called music by mail. but when i went in to federal prison it all changed in the fedz inmates are only allowed am.fm head sets.so we were literaly deprived of good music. we had to beat on the table or have some one beatbox on the yard .this was our way of getting a dose of good music.i wrote about 80% of my music in prison. if i coulnt do that then i dont think i could have survived it. MUSIC is our savior
