The SHU: Inside America’s Most Isolated Prison Units | Full Documentary

Описание: The SHU — the Security Housing Unit — is one of the most secretive and controversial systems inside American prisons.

In this full-length documentary, Beyond the Bars examines the SHU exactly as it exists in the public record:
how inmates are placed there, how long they stay, what daily life looks like, and how decades of isolation led to landmark lawsuits, hunger strikes, and policy changes across the United States.

This film is based entirely on:
• Official government reports
• Federal and state court records
• Academic research
• Credible investigative journalism

No rumors.
No exaggeration.
No fictional dialogue.

Just documented facts.

We explore:
• What the SHU really is
• How gang validation worked
• Indefinite solitary confinement
• Mental health findings cited in court
• Hunger strikes and legal reforms
• What changed — and what didn’t
