Marc Rosemond: How Music and Art Helped Transform the Life of a Convicted Murderer

In 1993, Marc Rosemond was convicted of 3 counts of murder and sentenced to Life in prison. Now, 33 years later, he calls the Prison Pen Pal Podcast from his cell at the Shawangunk Correctional Facility in Wallkill, New York. Desperate to find answers about why he committed such horrible crimes, Marc Rosemond (inmate #93A1985) shares how art, poetry, and music helped him work through his childhood trauma, find clarity, and transform his life into one of positivity and resiliency. In addition to helping him get through so many lonely days behind bars, music "actually helped others around me get through their day," he said. You'll even hear him playing and singing throughout the interview. In a way, the keyboard is his form of an "emotional support animal." He even named her Snowflake.
