There are some human experiences which most of us find it very
hard to get our heads around. In 2019, Stephen Sackur spoke to
Albert Woodfox, who experienced the unimaginable torment of more
than four decades in solitary confinement, in a tiny cell in one
of America’s most notorious prisons. He was the victim of
ingrained racism and brutality inside America’s system of
criminal justice. He was released from prison in 2016 and
reflected on the meaning of freedom after everything he’d been
through.

This is another chance to listen to the interview with Albert
Woodfox after his recent death.
