Description: Second in a three-part series about the prison experience, focusing on DCI (Dixon Correctional Institute) in Louisiana, a state which doles out some of the heaviest sentences and has one of the highest incarceration rates in the U.S. This segment continues the close-up look at life in a medium-security environment. Because DCI is dedicated to rehabilitation, all inmates not in extended lockdown must attend school or work at a job. Shows six convicted felons facing sentences ranging from a few years to decades as they go about their daily tasks in and around the confines of the prison, as well as outside the facility as part of work release projects. Also shows legal counseling and family visitations. The convicts talk about taking responsibility for their actions, improving personal behavior, and making a clean start after discharge.
