When someone is sentenced to years in prison, the last thing on their mind is thanking the judge for their incarceration. But after spending time in jail, one inmate wanted to repay the judge who oversaw his case by saving his life.
After the judge was diagnosed with cancer, the inmate started pulling out all the stops to see if he could help.
Carl Fox, a 61-year-old North Carolina Superior Court judge, was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year.
His friends, colleagues, and family have all been tested to see if they can donate bone marrow.
Inmate Charles Alston was sentenced to jail years ago by Fox, and now he wants to help.
After hearing about his diagnosis, Alston wrote to Fox, telling him that this ruling saved his life.
He wants to return the favor, but Alston cannot donate bone marrow due to incarcerated donor restrictions.
Watch both men speak about this fateful incident, and find out how you can help.

Maybe Alston and Fox will get to meet again someday and thank each other in person, but until then, we hope that Judge Fox has a speedy recovery!
