The Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in Oldham County, Kentucky is home to about 1100 felons and one unusual theatre company. It's an all-inmate ensemble called Shakespeare Behind Bars. For sixteen years, the group has staged full productions of plays like Hamlet and Macbeth and performed for both other inmates and the public.
