Julio de Almeida, the last prisoner on Ilha Grande

We travelled to Big Island, Ilha Grande, off the coast of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, to hear the extraordinary story of Julio de Almeida. He's spent 56 years on the island, which used to be a maximum security prison. Now 83 years old, Julio has served his time - but he still doesn't want to leave!
