Increasing violence, extreme crowding, rampant drug use and gang warfare are all part of daily life behind bars. And every day it gets a little worse. Go deep into the heart of America's troubled prison system, navigating this world with the inmates who struggle to survive incarceration, the officers responsible for controlling and protecting them and the experts trying to solve the crisis of a prison nation.
