This reveal sparked an immersive six-year investigation to discover the reality behind one of the nation’s deadliest prison systems.With unprecedented access and video shot on contraband cell phones, the directors learn of a suspicious and violent death, which was not an isolated incident, and that the official version appears far from the truth. A story of brutality, corruption and a system in collapse, “The Alabama Solution” shines a light on the inmates fighting for their survival who, against all odds, embark on a campaign of resistance.
