National Geographic's highly acclaimed "Lockup" series takes viewers into the dramatic and tense life inside prisons across the United States. The stories told by the guards and the inmates, who are locked up in iron cells every day, are truly jaw-dropping.
Detroit has the highest homicide rate in the United States. At the Wayne County Jail, dedicated wardens and counselors strive to reform female offenders, including thieves, drug addicts, and prostitutes, and attempt to break the vicious cycle of imprisonment and continued criminal behavior through innovative programs. Many of the angry and violent female inmates have experienced sexual assault or abandonment, and almost all of them have been in and out of prison multiple times. In this jail located in the city center, the program will delve into the "Rebirth" plan specifically designed for drug-addicted prostitutes.
