Former Black Panther Warren Wells talks about the Panthers’ abandonment of the “prison movement.” Wells is serving time in Folsom Prison from a 1968 Oakland shootout that resulted in the death of Bobby Hutton. He talks about conditions, intra-prison fighting and the failure of people outside to organize around Folsom, especially around those men housed in the adjustment center. Produced by Mark Schwartz. Contains sensitive language.
