Lockup plot
Lockup takes us to the Maximum Security prisons and shows us what life is like for those who have to be there for a number of years or all of their lives. We also see prisoners waiting to be executed. We usually see one or two inmates as they attend disciplinary hearings, receive family visits and interact with other inmates. In some episodes, inmates are provided with personal video cameras ("inmate cams") to use in their cells for recording their thoughts.
