I am retired from a 20 yr law enforcement career and this is the most wonderful program I have ever heard about. These guys aren't dying alone and are treated with love and respect. It seems to have changed the lives of the inmates in the program and allows them to give back to others. God bless you all involved!
I luv this document to see positive things ,I want to buy this dvd ,& show to young black men at my church ,show them don't get caught up in these streets
@@cherylwhite7278 You do not need to buy a DVD to show them this video. Just use a laptop and a projector and log on to RUclips and watch it for free. Of course, you would have to have the cables to connect to the laptop to the projector and also Wi-Fi in order to log onto the internet.
i remember seeing this doc a while back on TV. didn't quite know what it was at the time but i clearly remember seeing different inmates taking their last breath on those beds and those inmates being right by their side through it all. incredibly touching.
If you've never done it, spending time and talking and listening and just really making intimate connections with people who are in their last weeks or days, is sanctified work. To be able to bring comfort to a person that needs it, and his family is a gift, for both the dying person and for yourself. I didn't know, when I started visiting those who are dying, how much comfort I could bring to someone. And I didn't know how meaningful I would find it. It's not an easy thing to do, emotionally, but important things are like this are seldom easy. There are probably hospices and palliative care centres in your community. I would recommend that you all try volunteering at one of these places. You'll be glad you did.
koyunbaba73 BLESSINGS to you and all you do!! It takes a special kind of person to do that work; like the Lady in the comments said, a Person who can take care of another person in their last moments truly is the meaning of God creating Man in his own image!
Warden Burl Cain worked wonders at Angola. I hope he's been as successful in Mississippi as he was at LSP. Even the prisoners appreciated him for all he did for them. As long as the didn't act like criminals, he found ways for them to still have a meaningful life inside.
Touching. I watched my grandfather die on hospice, and it was a blessing to have this sort of program. It takes courage to give up the fight, but I think it's definitely worth it.
Man, seeing you say something make me feel great about Angola prison. I believe they are doing the right thing for the inmates. God bless you and I hope your doing well.
These guys are awesome.... May God bless and protect them against all evil... I think this is a blessing. It's helping the ones dying and the inmates. This is awesome
Thank you for this amazing video. God bless everyone in hosice and the dedicated folks that care for them. I know how hard it is to see those you know suffer and then die right in front of you. My mom had home hospice and my brothers and I was there around the clock to take care of her. It lets the dying retain their dignity and humanity. It must especially be a comfort to know that you won't be alone when its your time to go.Hospice care should be part of all prisons and other types of institutions too.
This is wonderful. I used to teach(sub) at a school for at risk youth. I think this should offered in those types of schools where the kids have to be a part of a hospice program helping the nurses and facilities with hospice patients. This program helped those men develop remorse and compassion. Imagine if they had an experience like this in their youth!
Burl Cain is an amazing human being. This program needs to be replicated in ALL prisons across the country. He has completely turned things around at Angola. Turning it from the bloodiest prison in the country to now violence having dropped 73%! All by just treating these inmates like humans being and not animals. He gave them work to do. He brought bible college in so they could get their Bachelor's in Ministry. He started an agriculture program where they farm their own food. Construction program. They have a radio station. He has given certain freedom privledges to the certain trustee inmates that have earned that trust. He has done SO MUCH to turn this place around. ALL prison warden need to look up to him and replicate his methods!
He deserves alot of credit for turning it into a place of compassion but not the whole prison. The Angola three with guys like "Life" (rip)had a great impact on the institution, therefore causing a reduction in rape murder and violence. They bridged the gap between black & white convicts educated them and gave them self esteem and made them realize how valuable their lives were. They also taught political awareness classes these cats did alot to educate and reform alotta convicts who had been given power by the guards. There were convicts carrying guns shooting guys and controlling the other convicts on the working details selling extorting and abusing other prisoners and were given the okay by the guards. Once these crimes started to cease the warden(not Cain but the former warden who is in prison for murder now) they began to target these individuals and they locked them up called them threats to the institution and used that to lock them down for years and years then the violence continued. Angola has a very sad history the things that were allowed to go on there were things that were unheard of in other maximum security prisons across the country. I like Cain he told the dudes "I can be as nice as you let me or as mean as you make me it's your choice" then alotta these dudes bought into it he bought hope into a place that was hopeless he deserves a Nobel peace prize...
Rebel Channel Without a Cause Burl Cain is a GOOD MAN! He has done so much at his prison. He treats the inmates like humans and not animals. Most of all he gave the inmates responsibilities which they never had. Those responsibilities keep the inmates in line because they dont want to loose them. Hands down best warden in the USA.
Rebel Channel Without a Cause to bad he got caught up in a scandal ... His reputation is now tarnished ... Free state labour to help build his house and benefits including free appliances and furnishings , iron gates all for his home !... Several times he's broken the law 😳 CROOKED AF!
I like the humanity the Inmates, Nurses, COs and families come together to give peace and good to dying inmates. We all have fallen short ,others deeper. Inmates who are loved and are fathers, Uncles and Brothers or sons are thrown in prison, often forgotten need this program World-wide. To see harden hearts who knew no love or how to love ,Love made sense and it felt good to see the humanity the dying and incarcerated deserve and have given the opportunity.
Has the prison looked into cremation? It can save land space and the ashes can given to the family, build a columbarium to store the urn, or scatter the ashes somewhere.
@@alexlewis8143 A lot of the prisoners wound up getting cremated. The ashes are usually scattered. When Richard Speck died in 1991. No family member wanted to claim his body. His remains were taken to a funeral parlor that has a contract with the prison and he was then cremated and his ashes scattered in Lake Michigan. Richard Ramirez AKA The Night Stalker killer was cremated and his ashes scattered in San Francisco Bay.
BTW, nurses in general, but especially those nurses who work in oncology or palliative care, are living examples of what is meant by the idea that we were made in God's image. If and when you come in contact with nurses (either for yourself or for a family member) take a minute to let her know that you're grateful to her.
Louisiana is awful! They just released an Angola inmate cleared with DNA, today. 37 years an innocent man spent behind bars... here's the bitch part, they say he isn't entitled to compensation!
Crazy thing is he's still the warden til this day! It's absolutely insane. He's done so much more for the prison along with the prisoners. He's a great guy!
I really appreciate how this program gives dignity to these men they paid their dues now it's time for compassion no matter what they are human ❤ thank you for sharing an thank you to all the inmates for their participation after all they help making it possible my heart goes out to all the wonderful an unselfishness they give so no one passes alone
A correctional institution is supposed to be just that time in Angola prison the warden seems to be wonderful he gave these people a reason to live regency tomorrow come and feel good about themselves even though they may have done something awful horrible wrong. God bless them they will all meet their maker on judgement day and God alone will judge them.
I’m a Medical Corrections Officer, working with the elderly offenders is truly tragic, so many of them are in prison for life just for drugs or non fatal crimes. It’s ridiculous
It's ridiculous to bring up slavery regarding this documentary.Every man,whether black,white,hispanic,you name it,is in the prison for a crime committed.This documentary shows,to me at least,that these people care for one another and in alot of ways are the only family they have.There's good in all people.I've just witnessed it.
Why is it ridiculous? Just as a previous commenter stated southern prisons essentially were legal enslavement after slavery was abolished, and Black people were ensnared into them to keep slavery going. It's historically accurate. Is talking about historical institutions ridiculous?
yea because what are they gonna do? who they gonna robe who they gonna beat up or rape or kill. no one. I believe these crazt sentances are done in emotion at the time the emotion and the public saying they deserve to die in prison or even worse death penalty I do not believe in the death penalty at all because 1 2 wrongs don't make a right and to e its horrible enough we lost 1 life why lose another when we can help that person to become a nice reformed person but yes should serve 30 yrs behind prison walls. WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO MURDER THERE IS NO RIGHT REASON TO KILL ANYONE that's a moral stand point along with my religion stand point and I'm not even saying what religion I am theres many so lets what you guys come up with and a lot of reliogons feel the same way about murder. and also I believe that once you hit even 70s free them on their 70th birthday they served their time and had they not repented and asked the lord for forgivness and asked him to be their personal lord and savior then they will again have to answer for their wrong doings both for what sent them there and things they did wrong that wasn't illegal on earth but is in heaven heck ill tell you I follower Jesus Christ and I love him a lot and I believe he does forgive everyone who asks him to forgive no matter what they have done even murders rapers ANYONE they must ask that's all its simple. but you cant do all that once your dead and face to face with him you must do it while your alive on this earth because you must have faith he is real and heaven is real before you come face to face with him and it is even worse if you did believe but then something happened you stopped and its not that you stopped believeing in him you were so mad at him you simpley stopped serving him and you stopped telling others about him and his love for us and lost souls. that my friends will be much worse then not knowing him at all. this was not all for you but also others in general. the very first part was for you however.
Me too only if they have family willing to help care for them. Its sad, but they get good healthcare while being there. Some of them probably shouldnt of been there in the first place. Someone ill and that old should never be thrown somewhere without health insurance, food, or no roof over their head.
I worked in the Louisiana department of corrections for 12 years from 1991 - 2003 at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center..I did transport for about three years so i was often time in the infirmary picking up sick inmates to transport to the hospital..Ive seen quite a few die by themselves all alone The orderlies did what they could but couldn't tend to them like hospice . Most didn't die with dignity..This hospice program is amazing I wish they had it there when i was in corrections..
As of April 2021 article in 'The Advocate' states the following: "In her 124-page ruling Wednesday, Chief U.S. District Judge Shelley Dick found that inmate access to health care is unconstitutionally inadequate in the areas of clinical care, specialty care, infirmary care and emergency care. Diagnoses and treatments are so bad they violate constitutional prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishments, she said."
This is a absolutely the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard.. these guys have paid their debts to society and now at least give them forgiveness.. we will all be judged on how we forgive others no matter their crimes.. I’ve been victimized and I came to terms with that .. I would be so happy if I was able to help in a program such as this .. I’m almost 70 years old and in bad health but I would have loved something like this to help these prisoners.. God bless all you involved and God forgives all that come to Him through Jesus Christ His Son .. call on Jesus all you that don’t know Him .. ask Jesus to save you through the blood He shed for us ALL … Amen 🙏
Prisons all need to have programs to rehabilitate these men and women - teen prisons. This is how prisons should be. It's already a place full of evil. So have some hope and peace and positive break the cycle.
This is a presentation from late 90s. I wonder if the state rolled back the life minimums? I thought I heard maybe that the laws are changed anyone know?
Easy... just go out and do something Stupid, and when you are being sentenced to life in court, just ask the judge for a special request to go to Angola State Prison! Moron.
My Father Died in Angola Hospice he was in their 36 years Before he Past Away The Family brought him Home and laid My Dad to Rest … He Was What U Call A Big Big Tree Are Timber in Angola His Name was WEEMAN LAST NAME KAUFMAN Factssss
ONE OF THE MOST MANLY THINGS IVE MAYBE EVER HEARD A MAN SHARE WAS THE FELLA THAT WAS AKED TO HUG THE PATIENT AND THE HOSPICE FELLA DID IT. THE PATIENT TOLD HIM HE LOVED HIM, IT REALLY TOUCHED THAT GUY. PRETTY COOL AND THATS A COUPLE GUYS SECURE IN THEIR MANHOOD!
The warden is truly a good man of God and very intelligent and u can truly see the spirit of the lord working at Angola u can see god just watching the inmates taking care of other inmates and it lifts my soul to watch this kudos to the warden but most priase high is Jesus Christ his self amen
I find this video a little conflicting, with the hospice trying to do the right thing, I think is nice, however what about the prisoner who killed a child lets say and brutally beat them, violently torturing them, RAPING them, holding them hostage, desicreating the body, throwing it away like garbage,,,,,,they didn't get to die peacefully, and is that prisoner sorry? I guess from family point of view, he should suffer too, You sure need a lot of forgiveness in your heart to let go of the loss of the example of the child I describe, to free yourself and understand. They didn't have a choice. FORGIVENESS IS THE ONLY ANSWER i suppose.
If these guys had people on the outside to guide them like the warden inside there would be less need for these prisons ! Such a shame so many wasted lives and lives ruined by what they have done to get in there ! But good to see they can feel and see others as humans and help them during this time of life !! But so sad to watch all round 😓
James Peter I kinda agree but apart from the cases of wrongful imprisionment wrong person doing the time etc they do put themselves willingly into the system !! The saying don’t do the crime if u don’t wanna do the time comes to mind !! Unfortunately these guys mostly black seem to get caught up and end up in jail ! Wasted lives they could be so much more ! Do they actually think they won’t get caught and have to face the consequences of there actions??!! Sadly the same mentality is here in the uk 🇬🇧 as the United States 🇺🇸 we need to somehow find self motivation and drive to do different regardless of upbringing and environment! Education is key and education is something that to a extent is free but for one reason or another learning is not cool and being in the street is ! Something has to change generation after generation is being lost 😓 when will people realise they can be so much more than there environment!! Drugs guns and murder have to end 😓
if the inmate is dying they should be released because there dying let them die with dignity. i know when they say life there should be an exception to the rule there dying say to the time served so at least they can die a FREE PERSON.😪😪😭😓
UNLESS WARDEN CAIN IS THE BEST ACTOR ON THE PLANET? HE IS A GOOD MAN AND A FORWARD THINKING INDIVIDUAL. IT WOULD APPEAR FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKIN IN HE HAS CA.E UP WITH SOME FANTASTIC IDEAS. AND THESE HOSPICE WORKERS "ARE" MAKING LIVING AMENDS, MAKIN A DIFFERENCE. GOOD JOB GUYS!
Warden Cain is someone who I respect alot. Prison should of course not me a ' country club' but it MUST recognize that each offender is a human first. Not only does he did he develope these types of programs but instituted a system of privileges' that reward good behavior. Prisoners who have completed there life sentence should once again be looked at as FREE MEN. This includes those who's family does not want to take disposition of the body, they should symbolically be buried OUTSIDE of the prison walls as they have fulfilled their sentence.
I am retired from a 20 yr law enforcement career and this is the most wonderful program I have ever heard about. These guys aren't dying alone and are treated with love and respect. It seems to have changed the lives of the inmates in the program and allows them to give back to others. God bless you all involved!
Amen this warden is a angel. God bless and thank you for your service sir ... Respect an thankful for you
Yes that’s a program of recovery !
Thank you for your service Sandra. Thanks for caring!

If this doesn't touch your heart..............YOU DON'T HAVE ONE!!
Janet Smith I fully agree with you.
Janet Smith Not really, if they were innocent than I feel bad, however, if they were guilty they deserve death.
Thank you for this video. God Bless the volunteers. It takes real men to love and care for others.
This is a great program. It totally humanizes these inmates. And it is quite humbling to be forced to face your own mortality.
May God continue to bless you guys for what you do.. The sweetest thing I seen in a min brought tears to my eyes❣️💜💙💚💛

Extraordinary work. Serving Life documentary on Netflix is about this same program at Angola. Keep up the remarkable work.
Such a wonderful program. Hope Utah will find its way into doing a program like this.

Is there any way to get a DVD or higher-res copy of the video for a Prison Hospice Forum we're holding in Michigan?
I think this is a wonderful thing. Train prisoners how to care for older inmates. Great job warden...
Powerfully touching...
How powerful is this, god bless you all.
I like the humanity the
Inmates, Nurses, COs and families come together to give peace and good to dying inmates. We all have fallen short ,others deeper. Inmates who are loved and are fathers, Uncles and Brothers or sons are thrown in prison, often forgotten need this program World-wide. To see harden hearts who knew no love or how to love ,Love made sense and it felt good to see the humanity the dying and incarcerated deserve and have given the opportunity.
This is a great program. People should care for one another all the time. Why do we want to hurt one another? May God have mercy on our souls.
Love the comments from the Guard. Humanizes them too. Love the comments from the inmates. Beautiful. Soulful. Real.

Crazy thing is he's still the warden til this day! It's absolutely insane. He's done so much more for the prison along with the prisoners. He's a great guy!
WARDEN BURL CAIN HAS DONE AN AMAZING TURN AROUND WITH THE PRISON IT'S GREAT TO SEE INMATES WHO HELP THEIR FELLOW INMATES
He sure has he is a angel he treats all of them with respect and love and these men are probably first time with real love.
I cried watching this documentary and I am not a weeper.

As for being at angola in the 70's in camp c tiger one . Thanks for this
This is VICTORY!
Victory for WHO EXACTLY???? The ELITES getting Wealthier for every person that gets locked Up???? What A Fucking JOKE You Are.
This is a direct result of a warden that has a heart, and is a Godly man.
All prison need one just like him. He's a angel
Don’t be Fooled he’s only ACTING like that for the Cameras both of y’all are a Joke.
This really touched me,keeping in mind of what they did but still they are humans

Prisons all need to have programs to rehabilitate these men and women - teen prisons. This is how prisons should be. It's already a place full of evil. So have some hope and peace and positive break the cycle.
sad to say the cycle will never end, the states and government make money off of prisons
This is a beautiful thing
Amazing documentary
Amazing program.
This is a presentation from late 90s. I wonder if the state rolled back the life minimums? I thought I heard maybe that the laws are changed anyone know?
Dear Lord and heaven I hope this program is still active 🙏
They are doing better than people who are not in prison

So do they get the morphine etc like on the outside?
That is an amazing program. My son died in jail. They didn’t care.
I was at an angola funeral before. I had no idea who the prisoner was , but we're all Gods children.
i think he's getting out sometime this year on good time..
Well Christ, what and the hell did they do to them before they had a hospice program ?
PAPA DAPA You were locked in a cell and you died alone.
How could a person volunteer for this program?
Minnie Bruce mmm
Easy... just go out and do something Stupid, and when you are being sentenced to life in court, just ask the judge for a special request to go to Angola State Prison! Moron.
My Father Died in Angola Hospice he was in their 36 years Before he Past Away The Family brought him Home and laid My Dad to Rest … He Was What U Call A Big Big Tree Are Timber in Angola His Name was WEEMAN LAST NAME KAUFMAN Factssss
ONE OF THE MOST MANLY THINGS IVE MAYBE EVER HEARD A MAN SHARE WAS THE FELLA THAT WAS AKED TO HUG THE PATIENT AND THE HOSPICE FELLA DID IT. THE PATIENT TOLD HIM HE LOVED HIM, IT REALLY TOUCHED THAT GUY. PRETTY COOL AND THATS A COUPLE GUYS SECURE IN THEIR MANHOOD!
The warden is truly a good man of God and very intelligent and u can truly see the spirit of the lord working at Angola u can see god just watching the inmates taking care of other inmates and it lifts my soul to watch this kudos to the warden but most priase high is Jesus Christ his self amen
This IS JESUS RIGHT HERE! THREW THESE PEOPLE! AMEN!
I find this video a little conflicting, with the hospice trying to do the right thing, I think is nice, however what about the prisoner who killed a child lets say and brutally beat them, violently torturing them, RAPING them, holding them hostage, desicreating the body, throwing it away like garbage,,,,,,they didn't get to die peacefully, and is that prisoner sorry? I guess from family point of view, he should suffer too, You sure need a lot of forgiveness in your heart to let go of the loss of the example of the child I describe, to free yourself and understand. They didn't have a choice. FORGIVENESS IS THE ONLY ANSWER i suppose.
5:12 I'm so glad to see Richard Prior doing something better than being a stand up comedian. Good for him!
We all have to forgive other as God fogives us as well. MATTHEW 6: 9-15.
They want to keep them there for $$$ purposes what a devilish system
Wow
They don't even give these poor men air conditioning. Notice that fan? How sad.
If these guys had people on the outside to guide them like the warden inside there would be less need for these prisons ! Such a shame so many wasted lives and lives ruined by what they have done to get in there ! But good to see they can feel and see others as humans and help them during this time of life !! But so sad to watch all round 😓
Cutie B The prison system is the 20th century slavery. The methods are different, but the idea is the same.
James Peter I kinda agree but apart from the cases of wrongful imprisionment wrong person doing the time etc they do put themselves willingly into the system !! The saying don’t do the crime if u don’t wanna do the time comes to mind !! Unfortunately these guys mostly black seem to get caught up and end up in jail ! Wasted lives they could be so much more ! Do they actually think they won’t get caught and have to face the consequences of there actions??!! Sadly the same mentality is here in the uk 🇬🇧 as the United States 🇺🇸 we need to somehow find self motivation and drive to do different regardless of upbringing and environment! Education is key and education is something that to a extent is free but for one reason or another learning is not cool and being in the street is ! Something has to change generation after generation is being lost 😓 when will people realise they can be so much more than there environment!! Drugs guns and murder have to end 😓
Praying they are released home to their families.
I think they are doing a wonderful job by trying to straighten their lives out
I heard they only get $5 a month
God bless all these ppl hearts god is good
boosie not guilty i already believed when everybody else didnt
Boosie the rapper? He fucking hired prostitutes for his 12 year old son and nephew. Dudes a creep
we should just give people MDMA when they're dying.
What is MDMA?
What is that
Now that's how Jesus wanted us to be to luv each other no matter what race u are
OH SO BEAUTIFUL
if the inmate is dying they should be released because there dying let them die with dignity. i know when they say life there should be an exception to the rule there dying say to the time served so at least they can die a FREE PERSON.😪😪😭😓
UNLESS WARDEN CAIN IS THE BEST ACTOR ON THE PLANET? HE IS A GOOD MAN AND A FORWARD THINKING INDIVIDUAL. IT WOULD APPEAR FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKIN IN HE HAS CA.E UP WITH SOME FANTASTIC IDEAS. AND THESE HOSPICE WORKERS "ARE" MAKING LIVING AMENDS, MAKIN A DIFFERENCE. GOOD JOB GUYS!
They are killing them softly: what a devilish system:
Stay out of prison
Warden Cain is someone who I respect alot. Prison should of course not me a ' country club' but it MUST recognize that each offender is a human first. Not only does he did he develope these types of programs but instituted a system of privileges' that reward good behavior. Prisoners who have completed there life sentence should once again be looked at as FREE MEN. This includes those who's family does not want to take disposition of the body, they should symbolically be buried OUTSIDE of the prison walls as they have fulfilled their sentence.
not guilty
Don't know why but makes me think of the crosses Jesus and the other two one ask Jesus to forgive him
