Prison Documentaries

Prison documentaries offer an inside look at life behind bars. You can see how female Brazilian inmates hold beauty pageants, or Russian prisoners broadcast from incarceration. Prison documentaries follow juvenile offenders and ex-convicts building new lives after release, as well as children born behind bars.
