UK: rockin' on remand

Check out Jail Guitar Doors:

Jail Guitar Doors is an independent initiative set up by Billy Bragg with the aim of providing musical equipment for the use of inmates serving time in Her Majesty's prisons. It takes its name from the b-side of the Clash's 1978 single "Clash City Rockers"...

This concept is bound to catch on here in the land of Nirvana: liberate some of Paul Allen's guitars from the EMP, call Death Cab and Modest Mouse, K Records and Sub Pop - we can make this work, people!

Bonus links: "Jail Guitar Doors" apparently is also the name of a Japanese Clash - inspired band.
