With your eyes closed, listening to a playlist that includes a soulful Silent Night and a chilled version of I Shot The Sheriff, you could be at a seaside pub on a Saturday afternoon.
With your eyes open, you're processing a musical band of criminals, all dressed in green prison garb of one sort or another, harmonising to traditional Christmas carols they're reading off sheet music, and playing laid-back reggae and soul songs to a small crowd of fellow inmates, friends and family in the visitation courtyard at Hunter Correctional Centre on a muggy Monday afternoon.
