Review of Prison Terminal: The Last Days of Private Jack Hall (2014) by Brian D — 15 Feb 2014
I just saw this remarkable and touching doc last night. It is an intimate and insightful look into 'midwifing our fellow man to the next world.' That it takes place where it does (a penitentiary) with hospice workers being volunteers, who are prison lifers themselves, gives it a compelling creedence that will hold you through the film and resinate after.
As a war veteran myself I was intrigued to learn that Jack Hall had tremendous WW2 record. Three campaigns and he was a POW as well. He was imprisoned because he killed the drug dealer who contributed to his teenage son's suicide.
PTSD is not mentioned, but it often is not with these stories. Anyway, it's an unprecedented and redemptive journey laced with the feel of a love letter. Brian Delate.
