Justice in Jail sheds light on life in prison in a unique way.

Six highly placed officials of the Belgium justice system (among the secretary of Justice, a judge and a prison director) are locked in the country’s biggest and newest prison for four days. Each of them shares a cell with an ex-convict, who were once convicted for criminal offences ranging from theft and armed robbery to extortion and murder. They all follow a strict prison regime during their time behind bars. A social experiment that results in a compelling reality series and sheds a new light on life in prison.
