FlemishCatFebruary 28, 2026Fantastic poster for a documentary that shouldn't exist. What I mean is, it's incredible that third world country-conditions and medieval approaches of justice are ongoing in these prisons in the United States of America. Aren't the decision makers in Alabama devout Christians?
This situtation is a debacle and should not exist.
Very good editing and producing work on this film, which made for unpleasant but necessary viewing.

Alejandro AllesFebruary 4, 2026La crudeza del sistema carcelario estadounidense emerge nuevamente en esta impecable colección de imágenes grabadas por los mismos reclusos; quienes deben sobrevivir a la ineficacia y la desidia de una maquinaria corrompida por la intolerancia y la brutalidad policial.
