As always, she’d come to Georgia State Prison dressed professionally - burgundy business suit, matching pumps, hair pinned up in an attractive, but conservative ponytail. As per the rules, while she was allowed to record her conversations with Inmate #7643-876, she had to acknowledge and accept that the state was videotaping and recording everything they said. Carmen had no problem with that. She had no doubt her subject had been interviewed by other journalists in a similar manner for the past thirty years.There was no reason for prison officials to worry. Over the past two weeks, Carmen had done a marvelous job making her subject feel at ease. She’d told him she wanted to approach his story from an entirely different angle. The more they talked - with Carmen sitting back and not interrupting him as she let him tell his story in his own words - the more revealing he became. Naturally he told his story from the perspective of a man who’d been wronged - he was serving a life sentence for murders he did not commit.
