Lockup: Colorado: Extended Stay

Reality TV

Reality TV

News cameras go behind the walls of Limon Correctional Facility in Colorado, where they capture the gritty realities of life in a state prison. Viewers see some of what really goes on behind bars, from a cellblock flooding staged by inmates in protest of MSNBC cameras letting convicted sex offenders talk, to a transfer prisoner whose previous behavior has guards taking him straight to administrative segregation. Inmates complain about their treatment -- they're limited to three showers a week, for example -- and come up with their own methods for survival on the inside.
