Why ADX Florence is Totally Forbidden

This video explores the secretive world of ADX Florence, America's highest-security prison known as "The Alcatraz of the Rockies." Delve into the history of this supermax facility established in 1994, designed specifically for total isolation of the nation's most dangerous criminals including terrorists, cartel leaders, and serial killers like Theodore Kaczynski, Ramzi Yousef, and Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. Examine the psychological effects of extreme isolation on inmates, the ethical controversies surrounding the facility's operations, and why this prison remains largely inaccessible to the public eye. Hosted by Ryan Socash as part of the IT'S HISTORY series, this 16-minute documentary offers a rare glimpse into an institution deliberately kept out of public consciousness despite its significant role in American incarceration practices.
