  • Just finished watching this on OWN and OMG there aren't enough words to describe the feeling that comes over you while or after you've watched this. It's truly breathtaking and heart wrenching. To anyone that has not watched it take or make the time to watch it it is so inspiring and so compelling. YOU WON'T REGRET IT AT ALL!

  • The inmate volunteers did an outstanding job. The warden has a good heart and I hope this program can be done in other prisons. Thank you OWN for this documentary. Brought me to tears.

see all

  • BOSTON IS SEXY

  • Where can I buy this documentary on DVD?

  • This documentary was incredible! I am going to order a copy and share with my fellow Hospice volunteers! We can learn so much from this. Am really excited about this as it was so well done. Mahalo.

  • does anyone know if/where this can be watched online?

  • Yeah Justins story caught my attention as well but overall I think the documentary was great :)

  • They are working on gettin Justin a new trial but I think it keeps getting held up with legal BS. He is not from a wealthy family so he didn't get a OJ are Kasey A lawyer. He was barley 18 when he went to jail and has remained there for the last twelve years for making a bad choise on drugs and grtting in the car with a bad person. It was shock to see how much he has changed, he was just a child last time I seen his face.

  • @dakinithree "Compassion in action" ...My thoughts exactly!

  • @ceasedebra *blank stare*

  • I know that they must all be getting a ton of fan mail by now from supporters and viewers that were touched by their stories and loved the documentary.

    Justin was SUCH a cutie and seemed like a really nice guy ...and he was studying medicine when he went to prison, wow.

    Oh, and Boston ....my God that body ...damn, why did they have to be in jail? lol.

  • @187Skeelo Justin's story was just really one of the stories that really touched me. Do you know if there are any appeals or anything like that in the works for him? I know that they must all be getting a ton of fan mail by now from supporters and viewers that were touched by their stories and loved the documentary.
