https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF6VVZVcSMY

Published on Nov 18, 2013

A documentary about the death penalty -- not in any way you've ever seen before, at least. It is, however, a film about the actual men who are tasked by society with carrying out the death penalty. This is a first-hand look at executioners, the pressures they're put under, and the unbearable toll the act of taking another's life has on their own.

Angola Prison Hospice: Opening the Door

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMLjANwBRDk

Uploaded on Sep 8, 2011

Half of the 5,000 inmates at the maximum-security Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola are serving life sentences, and it is estimated that 85 percent of them will grow old and die there. Edgar Barens's documentary examines one of the nation's first prison-based hospice programs, a program that notably incorporates inmate volunteers into the care of other dying inmates.

Opening the Door was produced by two former OSF programs, the Center on Crime, Communities & Culture and the Prioject on Death in America.

Our first episode takes you through what was once known as Multiple Personality Disorder. Now recognized as Dissociative Identity Disorder, we open our season discussing our curiosities about this mental illness. From the truth about Sybil to recent court cases where D.I.D. was used as a defense, we delve deep into our curiosity. Is D.I.D real? How does one prove the existence of various identities? Was the famous Sybil case fact or fiction? Listen as we try to answer these questions and more.
