  Hutto: America's Family Prison
In the largest family internment since WWII, the Department of Homeland Security is currently incarcerating families in a converted medium-security prison north of Austin, owned by Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the largest for-profit corrections company in the US. The T Don Hutto "Residential" Facility holds men, women (some pregnant), children and infants- including nursing babies. Through interviews with former detainees, community members and activists, this short documentary explores how a place like Hutto came to be, the deplorable conditions inside, and what you can do to shut it down. Plática with filmmaker, activists, and former Hutto detainees will follow screening.
