Part one of two. The broadcaster ventures inside Indiana State Prison, meeting 12 condemned men awaiting execution and some of the other inmates in the maximum-security facility. Among those he talks to are Benjamin Ritchie, who murdered a policeman, and John Stephenson, who killed three people on the orders of a gang boss, while James Harrison reveals how he escaped the death penalty with only weeks to spare after accepting a deal of life inside. Trevor also visits the 1950s-style barber shop where all the hairdressers are convicts, including Rick Pearish, who explains why they are given permission to use cut-throat razors and sharp implements
