Advocates for incarcerated men and women say they are determined to keep the public spotlight on the “humanitarian crisis” depicted in the new HBO documentary about Alabama prisons. “The Alabama Solution,” uses inmate-shot videos taken on contraband cell phones to reveal crowded dorms, men sleeping on concrete floors, and rats caught in an inmate’s water bottle. The Free Alabama Movement released a list of nine demands that included changes in sentencing laws, parole board reforms, an expansion of medical furloughs and compassionate release, the abolishment of forced prison labor, and others. Advocates plan a statewide inmate work strike in Alabama prisons starting Feb. 8, halting critical jobs for the system’s operations like laundry and food service.
