Synopsis
Set in America's most infamous maximum security prison, a look at life and death in prison. Louisiana State Penitentiary's 18,000 acres stretch along the Mississippi River, revealing landscapes of breathtaking beauty and fertile farm land, yet for five thousand men who enter the gates for the first time as young men, never to leave again, it is a place of suffering made up of shattered lives and discarded souls. This is the FARM.
