Wilbert Rideau (born February 13, 1942) is a convicted killer and former death row inmate in Louisiana, as well as an author and award-winning prison journalist. Rideau was initially convicted of murder and served time in the Louisiana State Penitentiary (Angola). He was released in 2005 after being retried and convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter. A ''Life'' magazine article in March 1993 referred to Rideau as "the most rehabilitated prisoner in America."〔Browne, Ray Broadus. ''Profiles of Popular Culture: A Reader''. Popular Press, 2005. (297 ). Retrieved on October 19, 2010. ISBN 0-87972-869-8, ISBN 978-0-87972-869-4〕 While in prison, Rideau edited a prison magazine called ''The Angolite''. He has also written several books and compilations. ==Imprisonment==
Rideau was incarcerated in Louisiana State Penitentiary (better known as Angola Prison) from 1961 to 2000, convicted in three successive trials by juries of murdering bank teller Julia Ferguson in the aftermath of a bank robbery. A fourth trial in 2005, before a mixed-race jury of ten women and two men, resulted in a conviction of manslaughter, for which he was sentenced to 21 years. Since he had already served nearly 44 years for the bank robbery and killing, he was freed immediately.〔Gold, Scott. "(After 44 Years, Louisiana Man Is Freed )." ''Los Angeles Times''.
