NEW ORLEANS Guy Frank wears a silver watch on his right arm. It s a memento from his brother Joe, who died of cancer last April during Frank s 20th year in prison.
The deaths mounted as Frank served a 23-year sentence for stealing two shirts from a Canal Street department store under Louisiana s version of a three strikes law. The 11th and last relative to go was his father, who died weeks before Frank walked free on April 8. It hurt me to see these people die while I was in prison, Frank said last Friday, his voice choking with emotion. I can t go back and get them out of the grave.
