Ford was put in solitary confinement in one of the most infamous lock ups in America: Angola. The maximum-security prison has a well-earned reputation for harsh penalties and harsher conditions. Summer temperatures on death row commonly exceed 104 degrees.Marty Stroud: Death row, you have maybe a 5x7 foot cell. You`re in there every day. You get out one hour a day to walk around and you come back in. You do that day after day, year after year, and that`s it. He was basically thrown in to a cell and forgotten.Ford would become one of the country`s longest-serving, death row inmates. Stroud went on to a successful legal career.But all that changed when one of the initial suspects, a man named Jake Robinson, told a police informant he had killed the jeweler three decades earlier. Robinson is now in prison for another murder.A court review of the new information found there was "credible evidence ...
