Lockup

- Season 14

(2012)

In this hour, an inmate takes drastic action and leaves his cell a bloody mess...while another...is found with dangerous contraband. Plus, an old-timer counts his losses, and a younger inmate looks forward to hitting the streets.

Just east of Pensacola, on the Florida panhandle, is 84 acres of some of the most dangerous land in the state. This is the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution, a maximum-security prison with more than 2,800 inmates. In this hour, an inmate known for deviant behavior prompts an emergency response, while another turns his fury on two officers. Then, a new arrival raises serious concerns. And young correctional officer cadets experience the burn as each one takes a pepper spray shot in the eye.

In this hour, a massive search for contraband turns up the heat on two inmates and a convict prompts an evacuation when he floods his housing unit. Then, a serial bank robber recounts his criminal exploits, and a convicted killer's physical handicap makes him especially vulnerable. And with the personal cameras we provide them, inmates give us intimate views of their lives in prison.

In this hour, the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution, one of the toughest maximum security prisons in the state of Florida, takes on a military style feel both for the inmates, and the officers; a gang unit investigation turns up the heat on a pair of cellmates, before one turns on the other; and with the personal cameras we provide them, inmates share intimate thoughts in the privacy of their cells.

In this hour, a cell search results in some heated words... and the discovery of a gang manifesto.Then, an older inmate takes charge of a young man with a violent past, and a new policy could push some inmates to the edge. And when we give our cameras to inmates to express their personal feelings in private, one confronts his own mortality.

In this hour, one inmate meets an untimely demise, and a convicted murderer breaks down the ways of prison, while a young, fresh-faced inmate learns about them. Another inmate mails a death threat to the White House and then carries out a shocking act. And we hand personal cameras to some of the inmates to express intimate feelings in the privacy of their cells.

Only slightly larger than the state of New Jersey, Israel is a country where the ancient world meets the modern. It is a nation of contrasts, whose gleaming cities and resorts lie in one of the world's most volatile regions, where centuries-old conflicts can explode in unthinkable violence. And those same contrasts are reflected in the nation's prisons. Now, three Israeli prisons open their doors to our cameras and we reveal the unexpected sights inside.

Bobby Ray Gilbert is easily one of the most volatile inmates to ever appear on Lockup. Is it possible that he has discovered true love? David Boltjes ranks as one of the most talked-about inmates featured on Lockup, but now he's out of prison and his tattooed eyeballs continue to fascinate. Ex-inmate Michael Gill now attempts to harness the rage he felt behind bars, to build a new career inside the ropes. And for Lindsay Christmas, life after Lockup means coming to terms with the devastating childhood memory of witnessing her father murder her mother.
