Fleet Maull: The Prison Sutras: Life Behind Bars With a Buddhist Monk  (DOCUMENTARY– 33 minutes)
Neal Hutcheson  

This documentary profiles Fleet Maull, a Buddhist monk in a federal prison who’s led a fragmented life, first as a drug-runner in South America, currently as a prison inmate serving a 25-year sentence, who has evolved as a pioneer in hospice care for inmates with terminal illnesses.  This unusual individual muses over his past as a drug smuggler and spiritual seeker, and his present as a teacher and caregiver.
