Lockup: San Quentin: Extended Stay
Cameras go behind the crumbling walls of San Quentin State Prison in California, where overcrowding and lack of modernization are blamed for an ever-increasing number of inmate attacks on guards. The facility, which has four cell blocks containing more than 800 prisoners each, also houses a number of death row inmates. As one guard bluntly explains, the attitude of many of the prisoners on death row is "You can only kill me once," so officers are on constant guard against attack.
S1, EP1 "The Gang's All Here"
As the oldest prison in California, San Quentin is steeped in a violent history, so it has a set of regulations and procedures to maintain order; inmates often operate under a different code of conduct; gangs control "prison politics."
S1, EP3 "The Conjugal Visit"
San Quentin's warden says that other than an inmate's release date, visits are the most important things in their lives; for some, visits are rare moments of intimacy; for others, they are business transaction opportunities.
S1, EP4 "Bad Boys, Bad Boys"

S1, EP6 "Slammin' in the Slammer"
At San Quentin, every inmate is marked with a security level based on his crime and prison behavior; serving as a reception center, the overpopulated prison must house a dangerous mix of levels within close proximity of one another.
