10,000 violent felons. Eight special agents. Tennessee Prison. In a world where everyone's a criminal, "The Squad" is the police. These highly trained prison police investigate every major crime that originates behind bars, from escapes and riots to assaults, drug smuggling and organized crime. The Squad: Prison Police is a powerful real-life series that follows these unique investigators who function as detectives, CSI and SWAT all rolled into one, on cases from beginning to end. With exclusive and unfettered access to this team, viewers get a never-before-seen look behind the bars of this maximum-security prison as the special agents race against time to solve each case. And for them, the pressure is even greater because it's a world where no one tells the truth and the longer a crime goes unsolved, the more likely the prisoners could break out into a riot.
