THIS AMERICAN LIFE
Episode: Long Shot – Hasta La Vista, Maybe
In California, Maryland and Oklahoma, the governors can over-rule parole boards’ decisions to free prisoners serving life sentences. In all three states this has evolved to the point where very few prisoners get released. For years Nancy Mullane followed the case of Don Cronk in San Quentin Prison, to see what would happen as Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger reviewed his case. Though Cronk knew the odds were against him, he found it hard to stop himself from believing he’d get out.Nancy Mullane is writing a book called Life After Murder and putting together a two hour documentary on other lifers in Don’s situation.
