Doing Time: Life Inside The Big House

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Called "riveting and beautifully made" by "The New York Times," the 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 rehabilitation and parole have all but been abandoned. After gaining unprecedented permission from the Justice Department, Emmy Award winning-director Alan Raymond spent five unescorted weeks inside Lewisburg. With access to the entire prison, The Raymonds captured the stories of Corrections Officers as well as the 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. Focusing on several inmates as well as the corrections officers, "Doing Time" details the often-shocking prison conditions and raises questions about the effectiveness of a term inside what is know as the "Big House." A rare, unprecedented look at prison subculture, "Doing Time" will change the way you look at incarceration in America.
