 So what does innocent mean? I'm a kid. I don't understand what that means. He's there for something that he didn't do. Okay, well, why can't he just come home?

They would get in the car with their grandmother, Donna, Taforist's mother, to make the 210-mile drive from Birmingham to Holman Prison, three hours each way.
