A dance at a Louisiana prison gives fathers and daughters a rare moment to reunite

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Leslie Harris has missed most milestones in his daughter's life while serving a decades-long sentence in Louisiana for armed robbery and is unlikely to get out before her prom, her graduation and maybe even her wedding.

But for one night at Louisiana's largest maximum-security prison, Harris made his own moment with his 17-year-old daughter while donning a custom tux and clutching a bouquet of roses: reuniting at the prison's first father-daughter dance, where they embraced to Stevie Wonder's “Isn't She Lovely" at a pink-heavy party this month that was widely shared on social media.
