  "description": "Sing Sing deserves every possible superlative I can throw at it. Colman Domingo is transcendent. Clarence Maclin is truly incredible and seeing every \"as himself\" credit flow by destroyed me. Seeing Jon Adrian Velasquez credited here floored me after reading about his story in The Sing Sing Files . The US carceral system is designed to break and consume people. It never works to rehabilitate anyone. It puts people in a position to re-offend to survive. Prosecutors won't admit mistakes. Police won't admit mistakes. Private contractors need to fill beds for profit. It's a perverse exercise in institutional cruelty and exploitation. That a theatre group can exist and thrive under these circumstances is a blessing. Art is transformative, it's an escape and it's an outlet, some small measure of freedom from the circumstances faced by its participants. It's art as a means to re-establish humanity in a system that seeks to rob you of it. Beautiful. Essential.",
