Plunge headlong into the gritty world of some of America's toughest prisons. Four intense episodes provide a unique, close-up look at life in the ‘big house’, from career criminals and ruthless gang leaders to frightened first-timers and seasoned ‘lifers’. Here the strong prey on the weak and corrections officers fight to keep the inmates in check. At the same time, prisons struggle to provide new programs to help inmates from re-offending when they return to the streets – as nearly all of them will do. You will be right there, in the middle of this real-life warzone where every day is a battle for control.
