REPRESA, Calif. (AP) -- Johnny Cash will be singing at Folsom Prison again. Not exactly Cash himself, but Joaquin Phoenix as Cash in the movie, "Walk the Line." The film will be shown at Folsom on January third. Phoenix, who plays Cash in the movie, will be there, too. "Walk the Line" has special meaning because Johnny Cash and his band did a concert for Folsom inmates on January 13th, 1968. A religious group at the prison and a prison chaplain are inviting the studio to show the film. The head of the Prison Fellowship says "the lesson of Johnny Cash is that it's never too late for a man to turn his life around, and that's a story these men need to hear."
