TED: The secret US prisons you've never heard of before | Will Potter

The video discusses the secretive Communications Management Units (CMUs) in the U.S., which are used to isolate prisoners, often for their political beliefs. These units impose severe restrictions on communication and visitation, affecting mostly Muslim prisoners and activists. The journalist shares his experience visiting a CMU and highlights the lack of transparency and due process. The video also provides historical context and ongoing legal challenges against CMUs, emphasizing the need for public awareness and advocacy for prisoners' rights.
