The vast majority of criminal cases end in plea bargains. No one argues that this is the most just way—only the most efficient. This program examines what happens when the deal is struck: who gets out of jail, who doesn’t, and who decides what kind of deal to make. Filmed behind the scenes, deep inside the nation’s criminal justice system, it presents an ugly picture that has little to do with justice. (26 minutes)
