can t give me nor treatments. why? that s what the chief doctor said because if they cut me open the cancer will spread and kill me faster. so what does this mean for you? a death sentence. even with death looming over him, maxi found comfort in the support and camaraderie of his fellow inmate. him being around us, i feel like this is what gives him hope. even if he knows he s dying, he knows that there s not much the medical people can do. more than anyone else, joseph monigan formed a special bond with maxi. like maxi he s also serving 60 years for murder and when the prison hired him as his caregiver he discovered it was much more than just a job. when i care about somebody i care about them hard. i really care about him. god answered my prayer and gave
every day i think it was a question mark about maxi and his health and then we had arrived one day and there was an ambulance out front and it was actually blocking our entrance into parking, into the parking lot and we found out that maxi was inside the ambulance, so once we got in to see monigan he told us he had had an event during the night and he was being rushed to the hospital. what was the last communication you had. he told me he loved me. what did you say? i love him too. and if he die i m going to [ bleep ] him up. he start laughing and he said, okay. he s telling me i m embarrassing him in front of the ladies because the nurses is around so, you know straight up. you know, any time somebody can laugh in that much pain, man, that make me feel good. that s the type of relationship we got. from what he told us maxi became disoriented. he said usually that meant one
i ain t got nobody to laugh and joke and kick it with right now. because we could be watching tv and we d be interacting. and they don t just be me, it be other people that would be around and it would be people that love him maybe talking to him and be making sure his spirits stay high so that was all. everybody just tried to take care of each other, man, i mean it s hard do you think you ll see pizza man again? i don t nope, nope. we finished our shoot shortly after we did that last interview with monigan and found out a few weeks later that maxi never returned to the prison. he passed away and monigan never got to say good-bye to him.

me the ability to clean him up from his head to his feet. by the time we met him, maxi had had a few recent brushes with death. the last time he fell into a coma and was rushed to an outside hospital. we was in church and one of the officers came in and was like, pizzaman died. so, you know, we all mourned and, you know we it was crazy. we like, man, well, comes to find out there was a guy in the hospital with his name that died, not him. so when he came back, he come back strutting and we like, oh, man. you know. i was in better shape. we hugging and everything. i know that he s not the only person in here that needs to be treated medically but i live with him. this is the guy that i got to take in the shower and make sure he gets bathed properly and make sure he don t pee on the walls,
