The LBJ School's Prison and Jail Innovation Lab is proud to host a free community screening of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Alabama Solution (2025), an HBO documentary film exposing the crisis inside Alabama's prisons. Set inside America’s deadliest prison system, ‘The Alabama Solution’ gives audiences a rare, unfiltered view of America’s carceral crisis that resonates far beyond the South. Through investigative reporting that includes footage shot on contraband cell phones and insider accounts from former prison officials and others, the film exposes shocking brutality and institutional corruption in a secretive system that has grown to consume a quarter of Alabama’s state budget. The film screening will be followed by a discussion between Prison and Jail Innovation Lab Director Michele Deitch and Beth Shelburne, an Alabama-based journalist who is a co-producer of the film.
