BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Albert Woodfox: Freedom after a life inside

In 2019, Stephen Sackur spoke to the former member of the Black Panther movement

Another chance to listen to Stephen Sackur's 2019 interview with Albert Woodfox, a former member of the Black Panther movement who spent four decades in solitary confinement.

There are some human experiences which most of us find it very hard to get our heads around. In 2019, Stephen Sackur spoke to Albert Woodfox, who experienced the unimaginable torment of more than four decades in solitary confinement, in a tiny cell in one of America’s most notorious prisons. He was the victim of ingrained racism and brutality inside America’s system of criminal justice. He was released from prison in 2016 and reflected on the meaning of freedom after everything he’d been through.

This is another chance to listen to the interview with Albert Woodfox after his recent death.
