This April 2009 file photo shows a view of the front entrance of the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, La. Albert Woodfox, the last of three high-profile Louisiana prisoners known as the "Angola Three," walked free on February 19, 2016. Woodfox has been in solitary confinement for 43 years. He was accused, along with three other prisoners, in the stabbing death of Brent Miller, a 23-year-old guard at the penitentiary.
Albert Woodfox spent 43 years in solitary confinement, much of it in a six-by-nine-foot cell, at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola.
He was released earlier this year. We talk to Woodfox about his experience.
