I Perform for Death Row Inmates — Their Reactions Shocked Me | Eric Genuis

Eric Genuis grew up in Canada with a passion for music — but he never imagined it would lead him inside some of the darkest places on Earth. After receiving an unexpected invitation to perform inside a prison, everything changed. What started as a single performance turned into a life mission. Today, Eric has performed in over 1,500 prisons worldwide, including maximum-security facilities and both male and female death row units. He believes that music has the power to reach even the most forgotten souls — and his concerts often leave hardened inmates in tears. #DeathRow #PrisonStories #MusicHeals #TrueCrimePodcast #RedemptionStories #EmotionalInterviews #LockedInPodcast #BehindBars Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.
