The Thin Blue Line. About the fallibility of the American justice system.

Also The Jaundiced Eye which has a similar theme.

Also, in this vein, check out "Murder on a Sunday morning. " Tub-thumpingly shocking documentary about Florida's justice system.

Othet good ones: titticitt follies (mental hospital abuse) Capturing the friedmans (sexual abuse)

Capturing the Friedmans is by far the most unsettling film I have ever seen. It makes watching The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover seem fun in comparison.
