Died in prison
Name not reported
A man the other prisoners called Baby, who stood 4 foot 5, was the first patient Steven Garner saw die in the hospice program at Angola. He died in 1998 of cirrhosis, a disease of the liver, while held at the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Other incarcerated men came to visit him in small groups before he died. Other men sought him out for his self-taught legal knowledge, and he had cared for others before his own death.
