The September Carolina Catholic show discusses the Penitentiary of New Mexico's Old Main Prison which was the scene of a devastating riot in February 1980. The prison is now a museum, and Mario and Judi Paparozzi took a tour of the prison in August 2014. In this show, they will talk about their years in corrections, Judi's work at this prison before the riot, and what led to and happened during the most deadly riot in American history. We will also share several miracles that happened during the riot in the prison's Catholic chapel.
