Perhaps it was this relative lack of attention that spurred the lattermost radio host to facilitate a Black Uhuru live show at Soledad Prison, SC, owing to his desire to help inmates acquire professional skills that could be used after release. It's striking, really, as it's almost unheard of to imagine music existing among the occupations that inmates might consider nowadays - but such were the ways back then. To Lance's surprise, his idea was enthusiastically accepted and the group performed in front of a full house at Soledad Prison.
