Synopsis

Dade County Jail in Florida, Tent City Jail in Arizona, and North East Correctional Center in Missouri illustrate the harsh realities of America's prison system.

Synopsis

Dade County Jail in Florida features two contrasting divisions: the Miami Dade Boot Camp, which offers minor offenders a chance for rehabilitation through strict discipline, and the Miami-Dade County Jail, where violent criminals navigate a harsh survival environment. Tent City Jail in Arizona, constructed from Korean War-era tents, exposes inmates to extreme weather conditions under the supervision of a frugal sheriff. North East Correctional Center in Missouri, part of a $800 million state investment in corrections, provides insight into daily prison life through the experiences of Officer Peterson and inmate Richard McCool.
