Behind Bars: The World's Toughest Prisons (2016)

Episode Overview

The Miami-Dade County Jail and the Miami Dade Boot Camp represent the harshest aspects of the Miami Dade prison system, yet they contrast sharply. The boot camp keeps its participants constantly engaged, leaving them no time to breathe, while the inmates in the jail are left with endless hours of solitude. These two extremes coexist in a single environment. One operates under a rigorous regimen designed to break down inmates through intensive drills, while the other consists of crumbling group cells where a unique hierarchy emerges among murderers, rapists, and robbers, as they navigate their own survival tactics behind rusted bars.
