lstry entitled, Changed Lives in San Quentin. ’
Actually filmed inside the prison, this documentary features the stories of four notorious criminals. Interviews conducted by Art Linkletter and the director of IPM, Chaplain Ray, focus on rehabilitation as a result of conversion to Christianity.
From inside the gas chamber Jerry Graham says, “I came very close to ending it all right here.” In stark contrast to his life of crime, he now directs a ranch for abused children. James Williams served time in San Quentin after a gun battle with police. Now he’s employed by a criminal justice organization teaching men “the way to go out,” as he puts it.
Another changed life is George Meyer, A1 Capone’s favorite driver. Now 74, he counsels teenagers abopt the evils of drug abuse. And Jack Burbridge, once an enforcer for organized crime, is now a preacher. The film concludes with a look inside the gas chamber.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church near Woodville on Saturday, December 31 at 9 p.m.
