Oh, Alabama!

​     Alabama’s Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women is the focus of Even Owens’ film, “Tutwiler.”  The film is based on true events and sheds light on the rampant sexual and physical abuse the female inmates of Tutwiler endured.  The prison was under federal investigation for ongoing cases of sexual misconduct among staff members.  In addition to at least thirty cases of employee-on-inmate sex crimes, the prison was understaffed and overpopulated.  Recently, Governor Robert Bentley announced the closure of the prison.  Alabama has finally taken a step in the right direction to reform our prison system.
     In August 2015, the sixteen-minute film premiered at Carver Theatre in Birmingham and since then has been shown at the Atlanta Independent Film Festival.  Owens is a Shelby County native and stars in the film herself.  We are excited to show “Tutwiler” at the Mane Room, Friday March 4th and we hope to see you there!  Come out and experience the talent that exists in our own state.

Glow media is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I worked here for a couple of months, and I seriously learned a lot of things. I know that my tenure here was not long at all, but it is something that I will never forget. If I can work my way back here, then that is all that I want to do. I seriously believe that I can do it if I just try my best, man.
