Unlocked: A Jail Experiment Season 1

Unlocked: A Jail Experiment chronicles Sheriff Eric Higgins' radical attempt to transform incarceration at his detention facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. In a groundbreaking social experiment, Higgins shocks the system by unlocking the doors of a unit filled with felons, stripping away the usual authority of deputies, and entrusting agency and responsibility to the detainees themselves. Through candid interviews and unprecedented access, Unlocked delves into what happens when inmates are given autonomy rather than being kept under lock and key.
