Bloody Reports

In 1980, Muhammad Ali was photographed with a man serving life for a brutal Philadelphia crime. This is the story of Robert Nudie Mims.
Robert Nudie Mims became so feared inside the Pennsylvania prison system that state authorities orchestrated an unprecedented trade, sending him to Minnesota for that state's most dangerous inmate. This account examines how he rose to such a level of power that he could command the attention of high-level officials and alter the dynamics of incarceration across state lines.
This true crime documentary explores the documented rise of the Philadelphia Black Mafia and the specific incident in 1971 where eight men retaliated against a South Philadelphia furniture store owner. We break down the court records and historical reporting to understand how figures like Mims operated within the underworld and the justice system.
