Sickness in the System

Bryan Gibel

(24 min.)

Sickness in the System exposes the prison system’s failure to protect its population. Through intimate stories from those inside San Quentin prison, Bryan Gibel’s film takes us into their experience. At the beginning of the pandemic, none of the 3500 people incarcerated at the prison tested positive for COVID-19, 6 weeks later almost 50% of the population was infected from a botched prisoner transfer, making it the worst hotspot in the country. Through two men’s stories, Sickness in the System exposes the prison’s negligence as the pandemic raged.
