Most of Angola's 5,000 maximum-security inmates will never see the outside world again. Formerly a slave plantation in a remote area of Louisiana, in the 1930s Angola remained backward and brutal and by 1975, with increasing crowding and violence, became known as the "Bloodiest Prison in America". Paul Sorvino narrates.
