    Apr. 19, 1979

    After having spent 40 years and 27 years, respectively, both Bill “Popeye” Stuart and Lowell Fentress first talk about getting drunk on seeing a living tree in person, upon their release from prison.

They also talk about crooked guards that traffic drugs and about the gangs taking over the prisons.
