This episode opens with a former inmate talking about the crimes he committed. The episode focuses on the Wisconsin State Reformatory in Green Bay, where inmates spend time contemplating their freedom and an uncertain future. The host talks about unemployment of former inmates and the rates of reoffending and asks the question: Does the prison prepare inmates for the problems they will face upon release?

The narrator details current rehabilitation programs and prison overcrowding, and a social worker talks about differentiating between legitimate concerns of inmates and unrealistic demands. Other people involved in the criminal justice system express their views on rehabilitation programs in prisons and talk about improvements that need to be made.
