"The Alabama Solution" May Change How You See Prisons (w/ Andrew Jarecki & Charlotte Kaufman)

I'm from North Florida where prisons are a large part of the rural economy. Recently I had a conversation with a guard who was concerned about the cost of living in Florida because young people are leaving and they are the most likely to be sentenced to prison and without them the prison industry will collapse. I was stunned that this was his take on our failing economy.

I had to watch it in parts. It was soul crushing. Steven Davis haunted me for weeks - how he died. I worried too about the retaliation against the inmates who filmed inside the prison. What was going to happen to them. Everybody should watch it. The inhumanity of the state of Alabama and the prisons where nobody cares. 😢💔

Alabama governor Kay Ivey used covid money to build two new for profit prisons.

Great interview on 2/11 The Daily Show 👏👏👏👏 We NEED more awareness to these kinds of issues and the more people know the more power there will be to make changes & elect better! People like this need to be championed as it takes so much strength & bravery & heart to create a documentary like this; the American people deserve more access to REALITY 🙏🇺🇲

Sold me, I'm watching it right now. Update: That was. Heartbreaking.

It's shocking. But it's also half of the Alabama "corrections" system. The work release program is basically a life sentence into indentured servitude

Looking forward to watching the documentary. Thank you for braving the abhorrent conditions to document and share the tragic state of our prison system and the abusive treatment of inmates, and thanks to the Bulwark for highlighting such an important piece of work.

The courage of the activist prisoners is amazing. We are talking life and death for these men. Not enough of us care what happens in prisons...it is awful. Maybe this will help. Please watch it

Everyone should see this film!

I appreciate the Bulwark putting this interview on the platform. The US needs to clean this system up.
