The "Alabama Solution" is a 2025 documentary film that exposes the severe humanitarian crisis within Alabama's prison system, one of the most violent and overcrowded in the United States. Told from the perspective of incarcerated leaders and activists, the film reveals the brutal conditions prisoners endure, including violence, abuse by correctional officers, extreme overcrowding, understaffing, and the neglect of rehabilitation. The documentary features smuggled cell phone footage taken by inmates themselves, highlighting a system rife with corruption, inhumanity, and systemic failures. The title references a statement by Alabama's Governor Kay Ivey, asserting that problems within the prison system are Alabama’s responsibility alone, effectively rejecting federal intervention. The film reveals a stark contrast between the state's public relations image of the prison system and the harsh reality faced by prisoners, including deaths and brutality with little consequence for perpetrators. It also showcases inmate activism within prison walls as a form of resistance against the dehumanizing system. The documentary has been critically acclaimed for its powerful, visceral portrayal of the American carceral state and its call for urgent reform, though it does not offer easy solutions.
