Music in Detention

An extended project to research the feasibility for a new partnership in Bedfordshire to provide community interaction with people in immigration detention centres through the medium of music exchange. The new partnership was successfully established and launched in October 2013.

Music In Detention works with immigration detainees, bringing them together with professional musicians and local communities to share, create and enjoy music, enabling often-ignored voices to be heard in new ways.

Music In Detention believes that working through music can give immigration detainees a powerful way to voice their feelings, concerns and hopes. MID believes that music can help break down barriers of prejudice about immigration and asylum, so it works with communities local to detention centres to create music in response to detainees and their stories. Each year it involves around 2,500 detainees and 200 community participants, in over 200 workshops and produces up to eight CDs of new music
