Lockup Extended Stay: Wabash Season 1 Episode 6 Father Figure

Wabash Valley Correctional Facility is a maximum security prison on the western edge of Indiana. It's the centerpiece of the rural town of Carlisle, where the inmate population of nearly 2200 outnumbers local residents 4 to 1. Many of Indiana's most violent offenders are sent here. In this hour, the killer of a corrections officer fights to be freed from 16 years of solitary confinement, and boyhood friends struggle to parent their kids from behind prison walls. But one, cut-off from visits with his son, is on a razor's edge. Also, a convicted murderer seeks legitimacy for a religion prison officials suspect is a front for white supremacist gangs. And we've turned our cameras over to the inmates to share personal thoughts in the privacy of their cells.
