ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Imagine a place where sunlight barely penetrates and walls isolate souls. ADX Florence, known as "The Alcatraz of the Rockies," is America's most secure supermax prison, designed for near-total isolation and housing terrorists, cartel leaders, and serial killers. This video traces ADX Florence’s history from its inception in 1994, examines its role as a model of extreme incarceration, profiles notorious inmates including Theodore Kaczynski, Ramzi Yousef, and Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, explores the psychological impact of prolonged isolation, and discusses the ethical debates surrounding the facility and why it remains off-limits to the public.
