There are some human experiences which most of us find it very
hard to get our heads around. Stephen Sackur speaks 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 is now a free man, but what does freedom really mean, after
everything he’s been through?
