Considering the high levels of convict recidivism in America, are U.S. prisons serving society best by warehousing violent male offenders rather than by attempting to rehabilitate them? This program seeks to answer that question by going inside the supermax Ohio State Penitentiary and San Francisco County Jails RSVP (Resolve to Stop the Violence Project) facility to contrast the effects of solitary confinement vs. therapy-based dormitory living. Corrections personnel, mental health professionals, human rights advocates, inmates, and others speak out. A Discovery Channel Production. (51 minutes)
