Henry and Carl remained close all the way up to his death.

He admits to killing twenty-one individuals, sodomizing over 1,000 males, and numerous rapes, larcenies, and burglaries.Ĭarl’s last crime before his execution, by hanging, was the murder of a prison worker. Unlike the current warden, Quince (Richard Riehl), who does not believe in rehabilitation of hardened rapists and killers, like Panzram, Warden Charles Casey (Steve Forrest), allowed him furlough during the daylight hours, as long as he returned to the prison before nightfall.Ĭarl later on goes to write about how he let Warden Casey down by submitting to his urges and raping the local librarian (Ellen Greene, Little Shop Of Horrors). Although he is now confined behind bars without any freedom whatsoever, there was an incarceration time that Carl was allotted more freedom.

Henry reads Carl’s journal throughout the film and we learn a lot about Carl’s life. This becomes a routine for the two and over time they begin to bond, in some odd way. Henry quietly slips Carl paper and pencil every day, at the beginning of his shift, and returns to retrieve them before he goes homes. Henry encourages Carl to document his life on paper, even though the prisoners were not allowed to have paper and pencil in their possession. He pities Carl and begins to show him leniency and eventually befriends him. Henry is a newbie and has not yet succumbed to the ways of the other guards. Henry, a Leavenworth prison guard, at the time of Panzram’s incarceration, witnesses first hand the harsh treatment of Carl, by the other guards. He continues this repetitive and dangerous behavior until he comes into contact with Henry. The narrator, Henry Lesser (Robert Sean Leonard), translates Carl’s story for the viewers.Ĭarl proves he is indomitable when he continues to act out even though he is severely beaten each and every time.
