:44:00
We were both sent up here.
:44:05
That's right.
:44:09
And it wasn't easy.
:44:12
Just like it's not easy
for you and the guys.
:44:17
This place killed him.
:44:19
Made him not care anymore.
:44:24
Don't let this place
do that to you, Shakes.
:44:27
Don't let it make you think
you're tougher than you are.
:44:31
I've gotta go, Father.
:44:41
I'll see you
in the Kitchen, hmm?
:44:44
I'm countin' on you, now.
:44:47
Wipe the tears off your face.
:44:49
Don't let them see 'em.
:44:50
Don't let them see you crying.
:44:53
Don't give them
the satisfaction.
:44:58
You'll be outta here
before you know it.
:45:03
You're gonna be OK.
:45:10
I didn't want to let him go.
:45:13
I never felt as close to anyone
as I felt to him that moment.
:45:22
A number of the inmates,
as tough as they acted
during the day,
:45:25
would often cry themselves
to sleep at night.
:45:28
There were other cries, too.
:45:30
These differed from those filled
with fear and loneliness.
:45:33
They were low and muffled,
:45:35
the sounds of pained anguish.
:45:38
Those cries can change
the course of a life.
:45:41
They are cries that, once heard,
:45:42
can never be erased from memory.
:45:44
On this one night, those cries
belonged to my friend John
:45:48
when Ralph Ferguson
paid him a visit.
