A line of police cars waits outside the gate, bringing with them the next set of inmates who will embark on their time in the state’s prison system. Inside the gates, in the prison’s sallyport, we stand alongside the officers… waiting, watching, and ready to record the first few unforgettable moments of life behind bars. ...
