A new docuseries sends camera crews inside some of the nation’s toughest prisons, revealing overcrowded conditions and an undercurrent of violence. The opener spends five days inside Louisiana’s Washington Parish Jail, where the new sheriff and his deputies try to maintain order with a population over capacity.

Also from the true-crime blotter: People Magazine Investigates (9/8c, Investigation Discovery) revisits the murders in 2022 of two gay men in New York’s lively Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, revealing a criminal gang that scoped out victims in bars, drugging them and then draining their bank accounts.
