SEASON 2, EPISODE 21
LIFE SENTENCE


When a convicted murderer (George De La Pena) becomes eligible for parole,
he finds himself trapped between an attractive young counselor (Penny Johnson)
bent on keeping him behind bars, and the ruthless thug he sent to death row in
exchange for a plea bargain. Later, in order to boost his sagging campaign for
public office, Warden Hendler (John Milford) uses a highly-experimental but dangerous
truth serum on a prisoner to solve a long-standing crime and boost his ratings.
