Video taken by prisoner in maximum security NJ gang unit
Submitted by andys on Sat, 08/13/2011 - 5:14pmOmar Broadway secretly obtained a video camera while serving time in the high-security gang unit at Northern State Prison in Newark, New Jersey, where inmates are allowed out of their cells only a few hours a week. He used it to document his life on the inside. This film was given to Bonnie Kerness at the American Friends Service Comittee's Prison Watch Project, who is making it available via Solitary Watch. (HRC note: conditions shown in this video appear very similar to those reported by PA prisoners in DOC solitary confinement units)
