Whether it’s the bold, humane experiement of Greenland’s first ever maximum-security prison where the tiny tight-knit community provides discipline challenges for the guards, or meeting the boss of the notoriously violent Numbers gang, who is serving a life term in supermax solitary in a South African prison, or the underfunded Philippine institution that is home to almost five times the number it was built for due to the government’s extreme war on drugs.
