Synopsis
In 1987, Cuban detainees at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary staged an uprising, employing improvised weapons to overpower the prison staff. Within a short time, the inmates gained control of most of the facility’s buildings and held more than one hundred people hostage. The situation escalated, compelling the FBI to enter into negotiations with the armed prisoners in order to resolve the standoff.
