2005 Dear Jimmy

Jimmy Palimo has spent the last three years of his life living in a California prison. Convicted on twelve counts of murder he is subjected to a life sentence. Jimmy finds peace in his cell while writing his thoughts to compose a book and in reading works written by Dalai Lama and Herman Hesse. With Jimmy's only contact being a monthly visit from a pen pal and his prison guard Joe, he is excited about being interviewed by well-known television reporter Jerry Rather. Jerry would be the first person in three years given permission to enter his well-kept prison cell.
