Louis Theroux: Miami Mega Jail

Louis spends time in the fifth and sixth floors of Miami County Jail, where many of the most volatile inmates are incarcerated; one of the most notorious sections of the prison. The inmates have developed a strange and violent jail culture and live under the sway of a gladiatorial code. Housed in large cage-like dwellings that hold up to 24 men, they remain in the cells almost all the time.
