Join Mike Wallace for a hard-hitting look at the sad state of America's penal system where more than a million people are serving time in conditions that do little, if anything, to prepare them for a return to society. Explore the case of Jermarr Arnold, arguably a product of a prison policy where "lock 'em up and throw away the key" is the new motto. And meet Michael Marcum, an ex-con who is now the warden of five San Francisco jails. He describes the prison culture as a "monster factory. Key Words: True Crime History Investigation

Through probing interviews with Walter Cronkite, Henry Kissinger, Frank Stanton and many more, this fascinating profile explores the contradictions surrounding the legendary broadcaster.

And when her dead body was found on the highway by the couple's van, it sparked controversy and outrage. Mathison claimed that she had jumped out of the vehicle and he accidentally ran her over, but the bloodstains everywhere inside the van argued otherwise. Nonetheless, Mathison's colleagues initially only charged him with a misdemeanor traffic violation. Outraged Hilo citizens demanded--and got--an investigation, and justice was eventually served.

But courage, valor and sacrifice are always the same, no matter the outcome of the battle. And when the American forces at Pearl Harbor were caught by surprise on the morning of December 7, 1941, nearly every soldier, sailor and marine at the doomed base rallied to resist the attack. Visiting the sites where they made their desperate stands and reliving every aspect of the onslaught, UNSUNG HEROES OF PEARL HARBOR finally gives proper respect to the servicemen who were let down by fate, luck and bureaucracy, offering an intimate and moving account of perhaps the darkest day in American military history. From the field where a whole air force died on the ground to the thundering details of the Nevada's epic and doomed run for the sea, the survivors of that fateful day recall the unimaginable cost borne by their departed comrades.

In 1869, one of the greatest building achievements in history the Transcontinental Railroad was completed.

To exploit these new lands, thousands of miles of new rails would be laid in the late 1800's, opening the west to settlement, commerce, and civilization. Explore the complete story of the Western railroads through rare photographs, spectacular re-creations and expert interviews.

a & e 733961186499 VHS TAPE New
733961186499 VHS - Brand NEW in factory shrink-wrap, perfect gift giving condition. Criminal suspects would do well to heed the lesson of James Harry Reyos. In 1982, Reyos confessed to killing a Catholic priest during a homosexual tryst in a West Texas motel. But almost every piece of evidence in the case argued against the confession: Reyos was 200 miles away at the priest's time of death and had extensive documentation to prove it (including a speeding ticket). But the victim was a beloved figure, his death shocked the community, and allegations that he had solicited young men for sex made it all the worse. AMERICAN JUSTICE examines the crime, confession and trial that followed and speaks with legal experts to see why Reyos was convicted despite the strong evidence suggesting that he could not be the killer. And, in a jailhouse interview, we'll hear from Reyos as he maintains his innocence and campaigns for a full pardon from his 38-year sentence. For criminal suspects, words confessed t Key Wor

One victim was engulfed in a fire so intense that it decimated her in less than 20 minutes. In THE UNEXPLAINED: SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION, believers in the phenomenon go head-to-head with skeptics and fire investigators. Interviews include emergency personnel who answered 911 calls and saw the remains of victims, fire experts who investigated deaths that have been purportedly caused by S.H.C., relatives of S.H.C. victims, as well as witnesses to S.H.C. deaths.
