In this emotional documentary, we enter the cells of Pennsylvania’s female "lifers" to uncover the reality of life without the possibility of parole. We meet Thelma, a member of Mensa with an IQ of 149, who followed her husband into a nightmare that ended in murder. Danielle Hadley recounts the terrifying night a drug-fueled fight turned fatal, and the split-second decision involving a pair of novelty handcuffs that sealed her fate. We also hear the heartbreaking case of Joanne Butler, an intellectually challenged woman who claims she was framed by her co-defendants. Featuring insights from former prosecutor John Wetzel and legal experts, we ask: is it time to offer mercy to those who have aged out of their crimes, or is "death by incarceration" the only true justice?
Only Human celebrates and explores the unique and personal qualities we all have. Our channel offers a range of TV series and documentaries about human experiences and life journeys - while looking at the challenges life throws at us, turning ordinary people into everyday heroes.
