Imprisoned fathers at Angola Prison spend Father's Day outside of prison with their sons, thanks to Christian organization 'God Behind Bars.'
For some fathers, it was the first time they had ever spent a whole day with their sons.
62 boys got to fish, play sports, and BBQ with their dads, many for the first time.
"Each dad wrote his son a personal letter and handed him a Bible to take home. Words of love, apology, hope, faith, and legacy were shared face to face..." the organization said.
Awesome.
