Romy Ellenbogen, The Miami Herald; Bootleg film shows Florida prison in all its danger, squalor. An inmate shot it on the sly
"David Fathi, the director of the ACLU’s National Prison Project, said
as technology has developed, videos and photos from inside prisons have
become more common.
“This would be, to my knowledge, the first prison documentary filmed exclusively by a prisoner with a cellphone,” he said.
Fathi said the issue is paradoxical — prisons
have good reason for forbidding cellphones, but the footage also
increases transparency, shining daylight in a dark place and potentially
exposing abuses."
