Lock-Up: The Prisoners of Rikers Island
If you're arrested in New York City and can't make bail, you'll be sent to Rikers Island -- a mammoth holding facility for 17,000 men and women awaiting trial. TV journalist Jon Alpert spent ten months filming there, coming away with a graphic and unblinking portrait of life inside America's largest jail complex, including a moving look at the human faces behind the statistics.

Reviews
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
