Synopsis:

The powerful story of three men -- father, son and grandson -- whose combined experience in dealing with prisoners in Alabama spans more than forty-five years. Told in their own down-to-earth conversational styles, their accounts -- moving, often brutal, and disturbing -- illustrate different approaches to the basic questions of crime and punishment.
