At Ohio’s Correctional Reception Center, the rules are tough. This is the first stop for inmates coming into the sixth largest prison system in America. Whether drug dealer or murderer, everyone is subject to the same ethos that dictates how inmates dress, walk, keep their hair, and clean their cells. It is here that Ohio sets the tone, figures out who the inmates are and moves them on to their final prison to do their time. The key to survival here is fitting in and following the rules - or face the consequences. This first episode begins a full year in Ohio’s largest prisons following inmates as they are broken in to a world behind bars.
