Specialist note

The ‘Angola Three’ Robert King, Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace, members of the Black Panther movement, were sentenced to decades of solitary confinement at Louisiana State Penitentiary (also known as Angola prison) in the early 1970s. The three men collectively spent more than one hundred years in prison before their convictions were overturned and they were released in 2001, 2016 and in 2013 respectively.
