Bashi Rose and Mitchell Ferguson work with a talented and hard-working group of men in the Maryland Correctional Training Center (M.C.T.C.) in Hagerstown, Maryland.  In 2007 Bashi collaborated with the men to form the D.R.A.M.A. Group (Direct Responses Alleviate Misdirected Aggression).   

Most of the founding members of D.R.A.M.A. are also mentors in the Friends of a Friend Mentoring Program (F.O.F.) initiated by Dominque Stevenson of the American Friends Service Committee and Eddie Conway; helping to steer younger inmates in a positive direction.

Since then the men have developed and performed dynamic original theatre for the population at M.C.T.C. Their work has been produced at Creative Alliance, Theatre Project, and the American Visionary Art Museum under the title, Prison Shorts.
D.R.A.M.A. also now collaborates with WombWork Productions.

F.O.F. has also expanded to the Jessup Correctional Institution (J.C.I.) and the Maryland Correctional Institution at Jessup (M.C.I.J.). We are still in the process of developing theatre programs at those institutions, but at J.C.I. the members of F.O.F. partnered with Nommo Theatre, WombWork Productions, and Nu World Art Ensemble (an off-shoot of WombWork) to perform WombWorkâ??s original play, The Birth of Peace.
