Judgment at Midnight

This program enters a world rarely seen: the world of an inmate waiting to die and of a prison preparing to execute him. The program, reported by ABC News correspondent Cynthia McFadden, takes viewers from the cellblock, to the execution chamber, to preparation of the lethal injection, and into the mind of inmate Antonio James as he prepares to pay the ultimate price for his crimes. The program offers a real-life portrait, putting a human face on the controversial issue of capital punishment, as it chronicles both the angry voices of the victims’ families and the touching moments in which the condemned man sees his family for the last time. The program also explores the unusual relationship between the inmate and the warden, who struggles with personal feelings that conflict with his responsibility for carrying out the execution. (46 minutes)
