Episode 1 • May 13, 1995
Episode #1.1
Helen Hewitt, prison board member and criminology researcher, joins a team tasked with investigating a suspicious death that occurred during a recent riot at the all-male Barfield Prison. When the governor of Barfield is sacked, Helen takes the job on a transitional basis, an appointment that bypasses the obvious successor and ignites resentment among both inmates and guards.
Episode 2 • May 20, 1995
Episode #1.2
Governor Helen Hewitt is eager to discuss her prison renovation plans in a television interview, but due to an internal leak to the tabloids, she never gets a chance to explain. Instead, she's blindsided on-camera with the morning headlines decrying the excessive cost of Barfield's renovation. Back at the rock pile, tensions are mounting. While one inmate attempts an escape, another's cell is burgled. And a new inmate arrives with too much money and too little sense.
