In Australia there are over 40,000 men and women currently behind bars, many of them have done very bad things, they’ve shattered countless lives, destroyed families, they’re responsible for unspeakable criminal acts.
So what did they do? How did they get here? What’s their life like now? …
These are some of Australia’s most dangerous prisoners. Many of them have come from broken homes and they’re continuing a criminal life cycle, they have a darkness in them where the light rarely gets in.
Some of the criminals featured in the series have been in and out of jail most of their lives, it’s all they know. Others are inside for much more sinister reasons, they’re just plain evil.
The violence they’ve been responsible for outside often follows them inside, jail can be a very dangerous place. The public may be safe from them, but inside is a different world of drugs, sex and violence.
The series will outline in detail the horrendous crimes that landed these men and women in Australia’s high security jails through first-hand accounts by ex-inmates, former correctional officers, journalists and forensic psychologists who try to make sense of their world.
We learn how the system inside actually works including smuggling drugs, relationships, the prison food, the hierarchy, riots and the criminal gangs that form behind bars.
