Watch this episode now on 4oD Inmate

In 1997, Jonathan Stack spent a year inside Angola Prison, Louisiana's maximum security prison, where he captured the lives of six men who, because of their sentences, are likely to die in prison.

Over the years, Stack has remained in touch with them and the warden, Burl Cain, and this film reconnects with some of the characters, to witness the impact of the passing years on their spirits, body, and hopes.

Do family members still visit, have they become hardened as the years roll by and have their memories of life outside faded? This revealing, moving film answers these questions.
