2023 - 14: Two Strikes/Tutwiler

What is it like to give birth — and then be forced to say goodbye to your baby 24 hours later?

To most mothers, it's a scenario that's unimaginable. But it's reality for the dozens of pregnant women behind bars in any given year at Alabama's notorious Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women.

Tutwiler, a documentary short from FRONTLINE and The Marshall Project, offers a powerful and unforgettable window into the lives of incarcerated pregnant women — and what happens to their newborns.
