Warning: This episode contains unsettling real events, including violence and mistreatment. Some viewers may find the content disturbing. Please watch with care. Miami often appears as a tropical paradise, but beneath the glamour lies one of America's toughest jail systems. With nearly 19% of its residents living in poverty, crime is prevalent, and many offenders end up in Miami-Dade County's mega jail. For guards and inmates alike, it's a living hell.
