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 ... Glenn Ford was neither present at, nor a participant in, the robbery and murder of Isadore Rozeman."
