The Alabama Solution

The Alabama Solution is an immersive, six-year investigation into the reality behind the walls of one America’s deadliest prison systems. Through unprecedented access and video shot on contraband cell phones, filmmakers Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman learn from incarcerated men about a suspicious, violent death. The result is a shocking story of brutality, corruption, and a system in collapse. As the men fight for their own survival, they embark on a campaign of resistance against all odds.
