Lori Waselchuk: Grace Before Dying

Lori Waselchuk: Grace Before Dying

A life sentence in Louisiana means life. More than 85% of the 5,100 inmates imprisoned at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola are expected to die there. Until the hospice program was created in 1998, prisoners died mostly alone in the prison hospital. Their bodies were buried in shoddy boxes in numbered graves at the prison cemetery. Grace Before Dying charts the extraordinary breakthrough in humanity that has helped transform one of the most dangerous maximum security prisons in the United States, Louisiana's notorious Angola prison, into one of the least violent. Join Lori as she discusses this revelatory work.

Tim Freccia: Mogadishu

Tim Freccia: Mogadishu: City Under Siege

Since 2009, photojournalist Tim Freccia has made a number of trips to Mogadishu, a city with a reputation as one of the most dangerous places on earth. In his photographs of Somalia's capital city, Freccia notes "men in kikoys stepping daintily through the street, shouldering RPGs and machine guns. Women glance furtively from the shadows, and smile flirtatiously. The citizens of Mogadishu sweep up after the fighting, glancing at me as I drive by, waiting for the war to end and the beach-side cafes to open again."
