About

A new observation-documentary series, presented by Melissa Doyle, offers unprecedented access beyond the high walls and barbed wires of three maximum-security prisons. This powerhouse eight-part series documents the harsh realities of daily life behind bars for inmates and corrections officers alike. The stories are both confronting and compelling, detailing the heartbreak, hell – and hopes – of an existence in prison. Australia Behind Bars will give audiences a dramatic, firsthand look at a part of society they rarely see, and the stories behind the people who make up the prison system
