DOING TIME: LIFE INSIDE THE BIG HOUSE

Academy Award-nominated DOING TIME: LIFE INSIDE THE BIG HOUSE takes a hard-edged look at life inside the walls of Lewisburg, a maximum-security federal penitentiary where the notion of rehabilitation and parole have all but been abandoned.

Called "riveting and beautifully made" by The New York Times, this Academy Award-nominated film offers an eye-opening glimpse of corrections in America.

After gaining unprecedented permission from the U.S. Department of Justice, Emmy Award-winner Alan Raymond spent five weeks inside Lewisburg. With access to the entire prison, Raymond captured the stories of corrections officers as well as inmates, including drug lords, "lifers" with no possibility of parole, and prisoners convicted of leading prison riots. Detailing a world where prisoners carry "shanks" and officers respond to violence in full riot gear, this candid documentary reveals what life inside "the big house" is really like. A rare, unprecedented look at the prison subculture, DOING TIME: LIFE INSIDE THE BIG HOUSE will challenge the way you look at incarceration in America.
