Description:
DOING TIME: LIFE INSIDE THE BIG HOUSE, an Academy Award® nominee, offers a stark view of life within Lewisburg, a maximum-security federal prison where rehabilitation is rarely considered. With special permission from the Justice Department, Emmy® winner Alan Raymond spent five weeks inside Lewisburg, gaining access to the entire facility. Raymond documented the experiences of both corrections officers and inmates – including drug traffickers, inmates serving life sentences, and those convicted of starting prison riots. The documentary reveals a world where violence is commonplace, with prisoners using makeshift weapons and officers responding with riot gear. This rare and revealing look at prison culture challenges conventional perceptions of incarceration in America.
