Alabama's state prisons are killing inmates at staggering rates—1,500 deaths since the documentary began—with guards selling contraband phones that expose systematic brutality, forced labor, and zero accountability despite federal warnings and billions in state spending. Alabama Department of Corrections is simultaneously the largest law enforcement agency and largest drug-dealing operation in the state, with guards selling phones and drugs to inmates while guards themselves commit murders that go unpunished. Nonviolent offenders are being warehoused indefinitely—one man received 15 years for entering an unoccupied building—then killed before release, suggesting deliberate silencing of witnesses to guard brutality.
