At lawtey correctional institution in florida, a group of around two hundred men gather in the prison chapel. They watch raptly as the Christian-based drama group, His Majesty's Productions, performs One Thing. The stage is set to look like the prison yard, where three groups of men banter with one another. As one group begins talking, the other two freeze into tableaus. In the first exchange, the character Buster says to Jim that when he gets out, he's never coming back. “Yeah, how do you know that?” Jim asks skeptically.
