Bonnie Raitt performs at prison

SAN QUENTIN, Calif. (AP) - Bonnie Raitt gave a free two-hour concert Saturday at San Quentin State Prison, describing her struggles with drugs and alcohol in hopes of helping inmates who are trying to stay sober. About 2,000 men dressed in prison-issued blue denim gathered in the prison's yard to hear Raitt. "We're all here together," Raitt said in an interview before the show. "We're all just one infraction away from being in prison ourselves. I could've been in here in a minute. I could've been too angry and if I had a gun in my hand instead of a telephone or a guitar, I'd be right in here. "The reason I speak out about it is because I was a mess," she said. "If I can give some help to somebody who's struggling, whether it's with alcohol or heartbreak - music can heal." Saturday was Raitt's first concert inside prison walls, she said. Raitt said she was grateful for the chance to give something back.
