Stephen Saito Cages can’t contain the sheer amount of imagination on offer in “Sing Sing” — not just in the way director Greg Kwedar and his writing and producing partner Clint Bentley conceived of the prison-set drama, but also as an animating force among its characters. Apart from Colman Domingo and a few others, most of the cast are formerly incarcerated alumni of the Rehabilitation Through the Arts program, which stages theatrical productions at New York’s Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
While inside the walls of a penitentiary, the amateur thespians are afforded the opportunity to step outside their worst offenses and simply inhabit another character for a change, someone who is likely to be more revealing of who they really are than their jail-issued fatigues will allow. Drawing from their experience as volunteer teachers at correctional facilities, Kwedar and Bentley are conscious of the raw power of seeing these men transform before our eyes from hardened prisoners into playful performers.
A handful of scenes may run slightly longer than they should, but it’s a small price to pay, considering the deeply empathetic and hugely engaging look “Sing Sing” offers of the carceral system, where no one should be defined by their past and written off by society. The creative duo, who alternating projects in the director’s chair, build upon the approach they took in “Jockey,” the Bentley-helmed 2021 collaboration which placed Clifton Collins Jr.
amid members of the horse-racing community. In “Sing Sing,” the pair have devised a story with a clear anchor in Domingo’s character, Divine G, one of the real-life founders of the RTA program, serving a stretch for a murder he swears he did not commit.
