【答案解析】[听力原文]
A judge in the United States has ordered the release of Albert Woodfox, the last of the so-called "Angola Three" still in prison. Woodfox has been in solitary confinement for 43 years after the killing of a guard at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in 1972, Richard Hulls reports. Campaigners for the "Angola Three" have always maintained there was no physical evidence to link them to the crime and all convictions have been overturned on numerous occasions. In his ruling, the judge said Albert Woodfox"s poor health and the length of the time spent in solitary confinement had contributed to the decision to free him. No man in the U.S. has ever spent as much time in solitary confinement as he has. With the exception of a six-month period in a secure dormitory in 2008, Albert Woodfox has spent all of the past 43 years incarcerated on his own.
