Welcome To The Jungle

Plunge headlong into the gritty world of some of America's toughest prisons. Four intense episodes provide a unique, close-up look at life in the 'big house', from career criminals and ruthless gang leaders to frightened first-timers and seasoned 'lifers'. Here the strong prey on the weak and corrections officers fight to keep the inmates in check. At the same time, prisons struggle to provide new programs to help inmates from re-offending when they return to the streets ? as nearly all of them will do. You will be right there, in the middle of this real-life warzone where every day is a battle for control. Episode 1: Gang Central Officers at Denver County Jail must transfer gangbangers to a new facility, dealing with homemade weapons, the criminally insane and a triple murderer who?s found a way to stop his cell from locking. Episode 2: San Antonio Gang War Bexar County Jail in San Antonio, Texas is in the middle of a gang war between the highly organised Mexican Mafia and the young, hot-headed Tango Orejons who used to do the Mafia?s dirty work. Episode 3: Officers Under Siege With room for 4,000 inmates, Hillsborough County Jail is one of the biggest in Florida. The biggest threat from its addicts, burglars and murderers isn?t drugs or gangs, it?s attacks against officers. Episode 4: Chaos In California Sacramento County Jail faces a huge problem: maintaining order in a highly overcrowded prison full of inmates accused of everything from drugs to kidnapping to torture, with very few officer.
