Within the first few seconds of the 2-minute trailer for Showtime's newest documentary about the deadly prison riots 50 years ago in Upstate, New York called Attica, it's clear that the film's director wants you to know that the bloodbath, and aftermath, was very much racially charged...
David Sweat, one of two prisoners who broke out of Clinton Correctional Facility in 2015, has been moved to Attica Correctional Facility. It is not exactly known why he was moved from a 'maximum' to one with 'super maximum' security measures, but it's not uncommon for prison transfers to happen based upon some worries or concerns about the inmate.
