In the early 20th century, consensual sex between men was largely illegal, and for those serving in the U.S. Navy it meant prison, if they were caught. In this episode we follow the tragic lives of three former sailors after they leave San Quentin Prison, where they served multi-year sentences after being convicted of committing sodomy with a fellow sailor. These are the stories of Homer Baker, Sanford Kisner and Grover Roadarmel.
