| Facilitator Log | 8:49 Lane remembers shaking hands with guys heading down the hall on death row to be executed. He couldn't help but thinking that his time was coming soon as well. 11:27 They were surrounded by death on death row, and now they are surrounded by death as volunteers of the hospice program. Hospice has changed them and increased their compassion. 13:45 Now they take pride in their work, proud when people request them to be their hospice volunteers. 19:55 Admitting that they are going to die is hard for people in hospice. It's unfortunate that they can't go home to die. 25:20 They never thought they would be bathing another man in prison, as they now do in the Hospice program. 29:50 Lane remembers one patient who kept hanging on to see his family. After they visited, Lane told him he could go, and he immediately died. 35:00 Lane remembers being transferred from death row after his pardon. They walked him to his dorm at night, the first time he had seen stars in 7 years. 37:00 When Gary was on death row he thought about his mother who visited every day. 37:42 Lane regrets not being there for his mother's death and not being there for his son's life. 40:15 Lane is being released in 12 months. He wants to appreciate the little things in life (parks, dogs), and he wants to keep the compassion he has learned in prison. |
