Recently we have been covering the story of Jeremy and Zachary Cain. Two men who were incarcerated as boys, growing up in the Alabama prison system have meant they have missed out on a lot of life's usual events. University, friendship's, careers, family and of course love. For those astute listeners you would have heard in a number of episodes I talk to and refer to Jeremy's wife. Jeremy has been able to find love in an otherwise bleak situation and this is the story of how Jeremy and Amanda...

Countless patients would have their lives forever changed at the hands of these men, men who they were supposed to be able to trust, with some patients even dying from what was done to them. I wanted to find out more about this world...
