Ray Matterson was in prison for an armed robbery he committed with a toy gun to support his cocaine habit. He spent the first year of his seven and a half-year jail term being mad at the world and angry with himself for what he had done. And then he found a kind of redemption … in a pair of socks. Produced by Jonathan Mitchell.
