The Farm: Angola State Penitentiary

Eighty five percent of the people sentenced to serve time there will never leave. Angola State Penitentiary is one of America’s most notorious and violent prisons, and those serving hard time there are mostly forgotten by society, even by their families and friends. "The Farm," a film portraying life at Angola, was nominated this year for an Academy Award for best documentary.
