Inside Maximum Security

How hard is life in prison? We explore prison regime through the eyes of officers and inmates in Changi's Maximum-security prison. How does an inmate live in a single-man cell? We enter a world behind bars to meet the inmates.

An inmate sentenced to maximum security prison has nothing more to lose. Or so some would think. But losing one's freedom is nothing compared to losing one's family. We follow the residents of maximum security as they try to hang on to their relationships while in lockdown.

Life in maximum security is predictable. It's rules, routines and rigor. No questions asked. No choices given. But what happens when inmates step out into a world where they're free to make decisions?

In the finale, our inmates try to ready themselves for their eventual return to the real world beyond the gates of Changi Prison.
