Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan from the Washington Post tell us about the unusual life of Mother Antonia in their new book, The Prison Angel. Nearly 30 years ago, Mother Antonia gave up her life in suburban L.A. to live amongst prisoners in Tijuana, Mexico. Now, at age 77, she offers spiritual counseling, helps prisoners get access to dentists and doctors, and tries to discourage riots.
