Decoda has been working at LCI since 2014. This year the men from LCI and Decoda wrote, edited, and refined their show called “Lincoln Portrait,” about the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln, which was Inspired by the hit Broadway musical, “Hamilton: An American Musical.” From April 1 to April 4, Decoda will return to LCI to work with inmates who are instrumentalists, singers, and spoken word artists. Following the intensive songwriting workshop, LCI participants and Decoda will present a culminating performance of their original program “Lincoln Portrait” for fellow inmates, staff, officers, members of the media, and local and state officials on Thursday (4/5) at 1:30 PM.
