Behind Bars: Supermax

on BBC Two England

A new six-part series examining the record of punishment and reform in some of the world's best-known prisons.

In the seventies, after violence flared at the US's fearsome "Supermax" penitentiary in Illinois, punishment regimes raised inmates' hatred to new levels. This film recalls the events that led to the "lock-down".
