Unlocked: A Jail Experiment plot
Eric Higgins, an Arkansas sheriff, was concerned about the high recidivism rates and poor conditions in the jails in the community he had worked for his entire career. He had a bold idea: He wanted to change incarceration in a Little Rock prison through a social experiment that would provide a real alternative for the men inside its walls. This documentary series shows how prisoners gain more control over their lives, in the hope that it will lead to a more community-oriented living environment.
