YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In December 2014, Mother Jones senior reporter Shane Bauer started a job as a corrections officer at a Louisiana prison run by the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the country's secondlargest private prison company. During his four months on the job, Bauer would witness stabbings, an escape, lockdowns, and an intervention by the state Department of Corrections as the company struggled to maintain control. Bauer's gripping, revelatory investigation is the cover story in Mother Jones' July/August 2016 issue. Read the full story here

In the sixth and final episode of Mother Jones's exclusive six-part video series, Bauer's colleague, James West, is arrested after filming outside Winn, and Bauer quits his prison job.
