You killed eight people, man… say your prayers twenty-four hours a day, it don’t mean shit!
Protective Custody: Rikers Island, NY. Impressionable Angel and serial killer Lucius – two convicts set on a collision course – wrestle with God, their demons and a brutal system which shows no mercy.
The production was performed and stage managed by a cast and crew of professionals, ex-prisoners and an ex-prison officer.
