Got To Let It Go

Melodious Wayferer

By the early nineties R.E.M. found themselves one of the biggest bands on the planet. What they had achieved was beyond their wildest dreams but it had taken them over a decade to get there. This RTÉ Radio One music documentary recorded in Athens, Georgia and North Carolina in the US by Ken Sweeney takes the listener on that journey with R.E.M. out of Athens (Georgia). Without slick videos for the new MTV, or support from mainstream radio, R.E.M. built their following playing an alternative circuit of
gigs across America as evangelists for this new music. R.E.M. blazed a trail for every independent band to follow from Nirvana to Pearl Jam.

Sounds Inside is a unique opportunity to spend 24 hours behind bars, through the power of sound.

Carl Cattermole, who himself spent time behind bars, returns to HMP Brixton in south London for 24 hours, equipped with a load of microphones to record the sounds of jail for a day and a night.

Being imprisoned for the first time, many people are surprised to discover that they are not only cut off from the day-to-day business of the outside world, but also transported to an entirely alien world of sound.

People talk of the intensity of the sound of prison. "The sound from all the other cells is transparent. When the lights are switched off, everyone barks and howls like animals, every night. You try sleeping in that. It's loud in prison."

We trace the rhythm of a day and a night in prison, and we meet some of the prisoners, including the guy who likes to crush biscuits up on the carpet and then hoover up the crumbs, just to hear the sound.

The documentary was originally broadcast on National Prison Radio in early 2018. 

It was produced by Tom Glasser, and funding for this programme was gratefully received from the Whicker's World Foundation.

Carl Cattermole discovered his talent for writing while serving a prison sentence. He wrote the unofficial ‘Rough Guide’ to prison, called HMP: A Survival Guide. He’s passionate about real prison reform and represents the voice of prisoners on the BBC, Channel 4, Guardian, Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail.
