Sex Offenders
Life inside Fremont Correctional Facility in Colorado, which houses 1,600 prisoners, 1,400 of whom are guilty of sexual offences. Rapists and child molesters are regarded with contempt by inmates imprisoned for other crimes, causing one offender to prefer the safety of solitary confinement.

Alaska State Troopers

Kids Behind Bars
Life inside Colorado's Youthful Offender System, which offers the final chance for juvenile felons to rehabilitate themselves before being sent to an adult institution. An 18-year-old shares his experience of the facility's intense four-week boot camp, which aims to break individuals down and rebuild them as a team, and a former gang leader who is now considered a model prisoner discusses his progress.

Women on the Edge
Life inside Detroit's Wayne County Jail, where a radical new scheme offers habitual female offenders a final chance at life on the outside. The inmates, who are often from troubled and violent backgrounds, are put through a stringent retraining programme and offered the chance of early release in the hope they will not reoffend.

Episode 6
