Locked up

National Geographic recounts the true stories of people who ended up miles from home, in a foreign land, in a situation beyond their worst nightmares. From travelers who ran afoul of the law and landed themselves behind bars, to explorers who found themselves hostages, Locked Up Abroad tells the extraordinary tales of ordinary people locked up abroad and how they regained their freedom.

Stacey Dooley travels to Iowa to investigate one of the most radical women’s prisons in America. The Correctional Institute for Women is a new 80-million-pound facility which houses more than 700 female offenders, from drunk drivers to violent murderers. For the last three years, the prison has been run by Sheryl Dahm, a warden with a difference. Rather than placing discipline and punishment at the heart of her regime, she tries to instil in the women a sense of purpose and self-esteem.
