American Crimes

The $10 million king of counterfeit money lives it up.

An accountant to stars mismanages clients' money, pockets millions and marries an exotic dancer.

A real estate developer with a sterling reputation ends up in bankruptcy court; a CEO is charged with overseeing accounting fraud to inflate his company's worth to investors while pocketing a fortune.

For some, prison might be hell, and it can be even worse for the sex offenders.

One inmate's troubled past leads to angry outbursts inside the jail, while another arrives after an alleged crime spree that sounds like it's right out of a movie; a young mother could go to prison if she's found guilty of robbery.

An exploration of first-time inmates that look like they should be sitting in classrooms rather than jail cells.

An inmate with incredible artistic abilities is charged in tragic crime; another inmate's seeming obsession with jail food causes problems; an unconventional marriage ends violently.

After an inmate is assaulted, the jail identifies a suspect, but the violence doesn't stop there; a young inmate gets a crash course on how to survive in jail, as he prepares to deal with the consequences of his actions.

Before any inmate sees the inside of a prison, he has most likely first seen the inside of a jail; nothing about jail is for the faint of heart; for some, jail is the ultimate limbo between freedom and a life behind bars or even worse.

An infamous inmate is booked after a daring prison escape, but faces consequences that go well beyond what a judge could give him; Lockup tells the story of a criminal legend, his family and the devastating consequences of his decisions.

One inmate launches a near fatal attack after being in jail for less than an hour; a father accused of murdering his daughter admits to keeping her corpse with him for two years; a female inmate keeps a grim secret from her two best friends.

Three unforgettable inmates, each one about to cross the threshold to freedom; witness their joys, their fears, their triumphs and discover that sometimes the only thing tougher than being in prison, is staying out.
