SPECIAL REPORT: Over a period of years, a convicted drug trafficker used specially rigged eyeglasses fitted with hidden cameras and a hollowed-out Bible with a lens peeking through the O in HOLY to capture the violent world inside this Florida prison. hrld.us/2oijdTP
Scott Whitney, inmate No. U21924, filmed a documentary on the Florida prison system and nobody knew. At least the guards didn’t. hrld.us/2Mjd7dN
Over a period of years, the convicted drug trafficker used specially rigged, eyeglasses fitted with hidden cameras and a hollowed-out Bible with a lens peeking through the O in HOLY to capture the gritty, ugly, violent world inside Martin Correctional Institution.
Whitney calls the documentary “Behind Tha Barb Wire.” He is the vice president of the endeavor, which drew up a contract and had inmates sign release waivers.
Whitney filmed men brawling or ready to swing locks at each other...
easily accessible drugs smoked in plain view ...
and makeshift knives traded for a few dollars’ worth of food and other scenes from daily life in a Florida prison.
To get a more realistic glimpse of life behind bars, you’d have to be convicted of a felony or be one of the officers along the wall. hrld.us/2Mjd7dN
