Jail Time Records operates a mobile recording studio in Douala, Cameroon, aimed at discovering young musical talent in neglected neighborhoods. Co-founder Steve Happi highlights the initiative's dual purpose: to promote music while steering youth away from crime. The organization has successfully worked within prisons since 2019, allowing inmates to express creativity. The project focuses on creating an alternative environment, serving as a mentor outside of the harmful influences prevalent in the ghettos, encouraging youngsters to pursue legitimate paths through music.
I have access to a studio for free. Creating music gives me a certain freedom, allows me to express myself,
Our goal with this project is to put up a hand and say we can go in another direction too.
