About this listen

Inside Alabama’s prisons, thousands of men live in overcrowded dormitories with minimal supervision, facing a near constant threat of violence and sexual assault. Now, if conditions don’t improve, a federal judge could intervene. The crisis, decades in the making, is at a tipping point. Through the stories of people impacted by the system and the people in charge, Deliberate Indifference reveals how we got here - and what’s next - for Alabama’s prisons.
