One Last Shot teaches us about compassion and personal redemption from the most unlikely people in the most surprising place.

 

I can teach a man trades and skills, but that just makes for a smarter criminal. Unless we get something in our hearts, unless we become moral; we have to learn compassion.
Burl Cain, Warden

 

Why does this film matter? One Last Shot…

• Gives us hope. If violent offenders can become men of compassion, and create a less violent society within prison walls then maybe we can learn to become more caring in our personal relationships and in our communities. These unlikely teachers might change our lives too.

• Strengthens and expands compassionate care education among physicians, nurses, social workers, hospice and palliative care professionals in the free world. We and our families benefit.
  
  
• Deepens our understanding of the inequities of prison sentencing, and the need for prison reform.
