Rabalais Waterfowl Refuge and a collaborative rescue of an injured pelican, cared for by the inmates and conclude with the exhilarating account of a concert featuring the Neville Brothers, capturing the uplifting power of music to unite and inspire hope within the prison walls.

very interesting

I visited Angola in 2024 and had very conflicting feelings about the experience. Listening to this podcast has helped me to balance my empathy for the inmates with the reality of why they are there. Excellent podcast.
