Lockdown. Wyoming State Penitentiary
Description
Facing severe understaffing and overcrowding, Wyoming State Penitentiary has gone to extreme measures, enlisting prospective officers from economically depressed areas across the United States. Unfortunately, these raw recruits tend to have one thing in common: a complete lack of law-enforcement experience. This program follows three new hires into the crucible where they face the challenges of officer training, inmate hostility, and the psychological stress that inevitably results from working in a potentially lethal environment.
