These are six of the toughest prisons in the world. Prisons so tough, even gang bosses and killers learn the meaning of fear. Across four continents, six different prisons, ‘Behind Bars: The World’s Toughest Prisons’ takes us beyond the gates, walls, barred windows and cells into an unknown world, a world we know exists, but a world nobody wants to think about. Rules and rigid routine in some, total anarchy in others, making it hell on earth for every inmate. Each episode delves into the world of prisoners: newcomers who spend their first night in jail, mothers who have to raise their children behind bars, felons waiting for a court to decide their fate. Their lives are always in someone else’s hands.

In 1991, Texan Jon Buice beat a gay man to death. Buice was 17; he was sentenced to 45 years in prison. He now claims he is reformed. In 2011, the parole board voted unanimously to release him, but after an appeal from the victim’s mother, parole was rescinded. This fascinating story explores the complex challenge of balancing punishment with rewarding reformation, and administering justice in the aftermath of the most heinous crimes.
Phoenix, Arizona. Home to America’s most notorious sheriff, Joe Arpaio. Serving time in Maricopa County is brutal. Inmates do their time outside in military surplus tents, 365 days a year. And the sheriff’s taken away all privileges: no television, no coffee, no cigarettes. He’s even put women on a chain gang to teach them discipline and deter crime. It’s a remarkable story, and a portrait of a unique piece of 21st century America.

In January 1977, Gary Gilmore spoke his last words, ‘let’s do it’, and was executed by firing squad. That simple act reinstated the death penalty in the US after a ten-year moratorium. The floodgates opened, and since then over 1,000 state sponsored executions have taken place in the US. Exclusive footage in this film sparks the Gilmore saga to life - re-telling a crucial story of American justice, and asking, what happens next? Gilmore, who was convicted of murdering a gas-station attendant and a motel clerk without motive, wanted to be executed. He refused to appeal his verdict and insisted that he wanted to die. Through never-before-seen material, we re-tell a crucial story of American justice, and also revisit both sides of the contentious capital punishment debate. How did we get to where we are and what is next?
