Abstract

The left side of the poster outlines the purpose, objectives, and intended method of the study, and the encountering of a "roadblock". The right side of the poster outlines the literature review, referencing the number of articles examined and allotted to various categories pertaining to musical activities in carceral settings. Two such categories are expanded upon and more deeply reviewed: music education/recreation focus, and literature that focusses on multiple categories. Visual graphics demonstrate analyzed data: 16 articles, 2 theses, 1 systematic review, and 1 report are analyzed. A pie chart demonstrates the countries from which the articles originate. A demographic analysis of 18 programs referenced in the literature is presented. A pie chart quantifies the program focus. Visual representations gender, age, and BIPOC/cultural minority focus in the various programs. 3 notable programs are briefly described: "Good Vibrations", and "Finding Rhythms", both of which were referenced in 3 pieces of literature, and the "Lullaby Project", which was referenced in 2 pieces.
