For six months, guards and inmates at the maximum security prison in Albany, New York, were monitored. The magazine team focuses on Tammy Lord, a mother of four who was convicted of theft, Michael Chmielewski, a murderer, and Mike Turner, considered a very dangerous man. Member of a gang, the latter tried on several occasions to foment mutinies against the guards. Cameras have also entered death row alongside people awaiting execution like Rodney Reed, a 48-year-old African-American. As for Anthony Graves, wrongly accused of murder, he was finally released.

    Watching prison documentaries makes me value my freedom even more. The thought of going to prison is too awful to contemplate. Here are four words to live by; don't break the law. Whatever you do, just don't break the law: ever.

    This documentary is interesting, the content is amazing but the editing not so much and the story line was all over the place and lacked context at times where narration or descriptive subtitles would have been helpful/informative. All said it's a very good doc. Thanks.

    The obesity among correctional officers is so typical of the occupation.
  • I couldn’t imagine a life without music. That’s enough to keep me on the up and up!
  • That Sheriff is so egotistical. “Gladiator?!
.Really??!!”

    I saw Maryland and immediately clicked cuz I'm from DC. I saw the dude on here and kept saying that his face looked familiar, and I thought about this program I use to attend, and sure thing I see Ms. Kemp, the lady that the dude hugged at 40:34. That woman saved my life, I call her my second mom. Crazy how life works.

    Maryland is one of the most diverse states in the entire country. One county is very liberal the next county over is very conservative. I’ve lived here my entire life and is so crazy just how much the environment and people change from one county to the next. Then you go into Baltimore which suddenly turns into Somalia.

    I was locked down without music and finally when I did get to lower custody I got a radio head phone for 50$ I cried listening to music it had been so long since I had that luxury it took my heart strings
  • @jkeelsnc
    Why does someone need to be in jail for 20 years for a fight?
  • @drelocs2878
    I can tell that head sheriff is prejudiced as he can be. As soon as he mentioned the Gladitor and his reason of liking it and comparing it to the prison that’s all I had to hear. I’ll never go to prison.
  • @WUZUPNOW
    When a guard is too damn lazy to pick up disposable gloves off the ground with a trash can next to her, you know the inmates running the f out that place.
  • @kddicks5115
    I really don’t like this sheriff. He seems a bit arrogant and that vehicle, just driving around town, is for HIS ego
.not to let people know they’re “safe”. Then the Gladitator photo, his explanation
cringe.😬😬
    It’s amusing that the inmate claims they are in control. Yet, they are told when to get up, when to eat, when they shower and get rec time. I’ve been in jail and even with corruption, THEY are in control.
  • @maryreynolds5310
    lol
I see I’m not the only one who feels this sheriff thinks he is all that and a bag of chips
what an arrogant individual he is. He definitely thinks he’s a Polo man, but really he’s more on the side of Old Spice! lol
  • @DanielLy1200
    The draconian sheriff was indicted on conspiracy charges for falsifying documents on sheriff letterhead to illegally acquire machine guns to rent out at a gun range he co-owns. He took leave back in April of 23 but has since re-instated himself to full duties. I assume the case is still pending and am hoping he gets justice either way with no prejudice just because of his office.
  • @bobbymueller6280
    seeing the Sherrif driving a military vehicle does not make me feel safer like the Sherriff thinks it does
  • @WarrChyld-wg6xz

  • @Mohjoe62
    I find the sherrif arrogant.He says he's like a gladiator.But a gladiator doesn't fight against opponents who are locked up
