"After the trial, each man was confined to small one-room cells for the next four decades. Robert King, another prisoner and Black Panther party member, was convicted of the murder of another inmate and also thrown into solitary.
Together they came to be known as "The Angola Three" after a fellow Black Panther member was the first to discover their decades in isolation in the late 1990s. King was released with the help of inmate rights activists in 2001 after 29 years in prison."
