The Prisoner Who Died Twice, And Lived

From the series Uncuffed:

Wilbert Stoneham has been incarcerated since the 70s – a time when prisons were especially dangerous, guards were particularly unpleasant, and Stoneham was one of their targets. He had a terrible relationship with the “watchers” which continued for over 40 years ... until the day he died.  

"The same guy that be chasing me all the time, was the same guy doing CPR, pumping life into my body."
