Step inside some of the world’s toughest prisons. From the Maze in Belfast – the scene of many famous moments including the ‘Dirty Protests’ and Bobby Sands’ hunger strike – to LA County Jail, whose inmates have included gangsters like Bugsy Siegel and Mickey Cohen. Go behind the scenes at the jails which have built up a notorious reputation as the home to some of the world’s most dangerous men. Join History Channel for a behind-the-scenes look at six unforgiving institutions, including Alcatraz, the super prison that was the brain-child of J. Edgar Hoover, built upon... a barren rock which for almost thirty years held America's worst public enemies. Discover how, through a series of ingenious manoeuvres that took almost a year to complete, three prisoners broke out of their cells, escaped the fortress-like cell house and disappeared off the island. Also covered in this collection of the places where the only time is Hard Time are: Folsom, a prison with a violent and bloody history; Colorado State Prison, nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains; and New York State’s Attica, scene of the worst prison riot in history.
