In a prison courtyard on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, the eight inmates that make up the band "Children of Iron Bars" rock the audience with their anti-drug hits.
Known as "Antrabez" in Indonesian, the band was formed behind the bars of Kerobokan Prison in July, bringing together six men and two women serving sentences of three months to four years for drug offenses.
"People out there can say that we're the garbage of society," said the band's founding member and guitarist Oktav Sicilia, 35, who is serving three years for marijuana possession.
