Inkcarceration is a huge festival that lasts for three days. It is held on the grounds of the Mansfield Prison, which many people may know was the prison used for the outdoor shots during the movie “Shawshank Redemption”. This three day festival hosts dozens of bands on three stages.
Crystal bought the tickets months ago and we joined thousands of festival goers for music, food, and more. Some of the bands that we enjoyed seeing were Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, The Offspring, and Shinedown. Unfortunately Filter missed the festival and did not perform, because of the Cloudstrike outage that messed up quite a few flights.
One of the amazing things we got to enjoy was a tour of the Mansfield Prison. It is unbelievable that they used to house over a thousand people in this prison and the size of the cells was so small and cramped. There is a tour that is more guided and includes mannequins and props to help the stories come alive and we are considering doing that.
