Ron Hicks is a lifer behind the walls of the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Although many of those on the outside say he deserves his sentence for the crime he committed, Warden Burl Cain believes that a lifetime is too long a time to live without any hope. Hicks along with many other prisoners participate in intense programs that Warden Cain has implemented – programs that involve a rigorous daily routine requiring hard work and intense study. The difference this program has made on those living here has caused other state prisons to take notice. In this episode of Life Focus, we will shed light on the inner workings on the Louisiana State Penitentiary – a facility dedicated not just incarceration but to rehabilitation.
