Lockdown. Ironwood State Prison

Description

Located in the California desert, Ironwood Correctional Facility is a series of extremes. This program explores the overcrowded, understaffed prison, which is subject to brutally hot summers and powder-keg tensions. But a group of inmates among the population of 4,800 are dedicated to self-improvement, attending classes in the face of menacing opposition from gang members. When riots erupt in the withering 112-degree heat, many of the prison's 81 student inmates must make critical decisions that will affect their lives both inside and outside the prison walls.
