Wayne Kramer founded the hugely influential band The MC5, a band widely credited with starting the Punk Rock movement in the 60's. He fell into a life of drug and alcohol addiction and at age 24 did prison time for selling cocaine. His two years in a correctional facility in Lexington KY had a giant impact on him and his view of the inhumanity of our prison system. At age 50 he became clean and sober and through his growing belief in service, he and his wife Margaret founded, the US branch of the organization Jail Guitar Doors, which brings guitars and music into prisons as a tool for rehabilitating inmates.
