inmate Rontrell Wise portraying the angel Gabriel – convicted of murder and serving a life sentence
The story follows the Angola Prison Drama Club at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola and is a fantastic glimpse into a unique thing taking place there.
70 inmates are participating in a dramatization titled, “The Life of Jesus Christ”.
If you have 10-minutes, this story is well-worth your time.
The audio-version of the story (accessible at the same link here) is incredible.
If you take a minute (ten, actually) to read/listen to the NPR story, I would LOVE to hear your comments here on the blog!
