Two Alabama inmates have filed a lawsuit against prison officials, alleging they were subjected to isolation and feared poisoning after participating in an Oscar-nominated documentary. The lawsuit states that the men stopped eating due to concerns for their safety while incarcerated.
The inmates claim their treatment was punitive and violated their rights, prompting legal action to address the conditions they faced following their involvement in the film.
**Why this matters**
This case raises questions about the treatment of prisoners who engage with media projects and the potential consequences they may face within correctional facilities. It also highlights broader issues regarding inmate rights and prison administration practices.
