Description: Third 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 profiles five convicted felons at DCI: two up for parole, two working legal angles to obtain their freedom, and one who lives with the knowledge that he will never leave. Prison staff, representatives of outside agencies, and the inmates themselves talk about what it means to get out--for the convicts, their families, and those whom they have hurt. Shows classes on anger management and victim awareness, a pre-parole counseling session, a parole hearing, and a search for smuggled drugs inside the prison. Looks at the concept of restorative justice.
