Over three episodes, we trace Ali Prout's dramatic fight for justice and the stunning ripple effects that threaten to upend the system of power and control at one of the largest women’s prisons on earth.KQED reporters Anna Sussman and Madi Bolaños spent two years investigating this story. They spoke to more than a dozen women incarcerated at the Central California Women’s Facility, read through hundreds of pages of internal prison documents, obtained leaked audio, and painstakingly watched hours of video footage to reconstruct one of the most complex and devastating use-of-force incidents in state history.   This series was made possible in part with support from The Poynter Institute.Produced by: Madi Bolaños, Anna Sussman & Sukey LewisFeatured Story Voices: Aliksandria Prout, Katrina Cameron, Christina Wind, Wisdom Mohammed, Elizabeth LozanoEditors: Sukey Lewis, Nancy Lopez & Mark RistichFact-checking: Mark BettancourtData Editor: Jeremy Sanchez Rue of UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism Original Music & Engineering: Dirk SchwarzhoffDirector of Production: Marisa DodgeExecutive Producers: Glynn Washington and Mark RistichSeason 17 - Episode 44 Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
