Luke Jackson n'est pas de ceux que l'on peut dompter facilement. Alors quand il se retrouve en prison, il ne compte pas se laisser dicter quoi que ce soit. Mais d'évasions en captures, Luke va devoir lutter de toutes ses forces contre une équipe pénitencière qui compte bien le briser...

The new warden of a small prison farm in Arkansas tries to clean it up of corruption after initially posing as an inmate.

A victim of circumstance, country and western musician Paul Ramsey finds himself on a Southern chain gang.

Viktor Kahdem is a man who has almost given up on life, sentenced to a low-security prison farm, a completely non-threatening environment where it is still felt that some individuals can be reformed. At Won Wron, Case Worker Matt Perry has established a unique program to rehabilitate broken men through giving them the responsibility for the rehabilitation of injured raptors - beautiful, fearsome proud eagles, falcons and owls. Against all odds, Matt takes on Viktor as his number one test case, introducing him to Yasmine, the majestic wedge tailed eagle with a 2 metre wingspan. If these two can tame each other, anything is possible.

When Canada's Government takes the decision to transform the correctional system to one that puts punishment first, the country's rehabilitative prison farms are one of the first causalities. A strong opposition forms towards the farm closures and for two days in late summer of 2010, hundreds of angry protesters stand in front of Frontenac Prison Farm in the heart of Kingston, Ontario, ready to block cattle trucks brought in to remove the hundred-year-old prize dairy heard.
