Reno 911: Bracing for the Big One?; Serving Life: Inside Infamous Angola Prison

Nonfiction • TV-14 • Directed by: HDNet World Report • 56 minutes

Scientists aren't sure if these quakes are a lead-up to a big one, or just a seismic nuisance. Some people aren't taking any chances. Next, we visit Angola State Penitentiary in Louisiana, where the warden is resorting to unusual methods to keep the inmates in line. It's necessary, he says, when so many of the prisoners are serving life, and getting so old. Finally, an encore presentation: a modern-day medicine man high atop the Andes, searching for a little-known, powerful plant. It's been farmed by Peruvians for thousands of years, and may prove to be the next billion-dollar "miracle cure."
