However, underneath this routine is a seedy underworld. Take a trip behind bars to investigate Alaska's fiery Spring Creek Correctional Centre, renowned for being the state's most treacherous lock-up and journey into the depths of Pendleton Correctional Facility, to explore the ruthless reality of this high-security prison.
