Description:
FRONTLINE gains rare access to explore the effects of mass incarceration in America, centering on a struggling housing project in Louisville, Kentucky, and a state-wide initiative to change the course. With approximately 2.3 million people currently incarcerated in the U.S., a large portion comes from specific urban areas, with some communities experiencing alarmingly high rates – leading to states spending millions annually to imprison residents of single blocks. "Prison State" profiles Louisville's Beecher Terrace housing project, documenting the experiences of four residents navigating cycles of imprisonment, as Kentucky attempts to break this pattern and reduce its reliance on incarceration.
