At Ohio’s Correctional Reception Center, the rules are tough. This is the first stop for inmates coming into the sixth largest prison system in America. Whether drug dealer or murderer, everyone is subject to the same ethos that dictates how inmates dress, walk, keep their hair, and clean their cells. It is here that Ohio sets the tone, figures out who the inmates are and moves them on to their final prison to do their time. The key to survival here is fitting in and following the rules – or face the consequences. This first episode begins a full year in Ohio’s largest prisons following inmates as they are broken in to a world behind bars. Ross Correctional Institution is where our look at hard time begins in the state of Ohio. Here, over two thousand of Ohio’s hardest convicts live on a camp composed of both medium and close security levels. Weekly, a fresh crop of offenders enters the back gates of Ross to start their sentences. Knowing how to navigate this territory can only come from experience, and for those heading to close security, the learning curve is steep. Some will obey the rules, and some will break them. But no matter how inmates choose to do their time, there will be consequences, either served out by the system – or by each other. Forget what you thought you knew about women behind bars: they’re the fastest growing prison population in America, and one of the toughest to manage. At the Ohio Reformatory for Women, the system is tested daily by every kind of female offender: from capital murderers, to nursery mothers – and everything in between. Behind these bars, there are “pseudo-families” instead of gangs, infants being raised by inmates, and a complicated web of contraband trades and power plays. This is a world of women unlike any you’ve ever seen.

“Hard Time” is an exclusive, groundbreaking documentary series that takes a look behind the scenes of US high security prisons and immerses viewers in the brutality of life there. Prisoners, guards, wardens, families – these are stories full of desperation and hope, truth and consequence. In season 1 we accompany new prisoners and young prison guards in training. Season 2 takes us on a year-long journey behind bars in an Ohio prison, where respect is hard-earned, violence is a constant threat, and reparation is hard to come by. “This is World War III, and we fight it every day,” says a bitter prison guard in Season 3, which takes us to two notorious state prisons in Georgia, one of which is an all-woman prison. By focusing on a small number of inmates and guards in each episode, the series spans a strong and often heartbreaking web of lost souls.

The way he's making the little bags of coffee just like bags of drugs outside. Unbelievable. It's a mental issue. It's what you can do, what your skills are, what life taught you. Sad and lost.
The only time to fight in prison is to show pride and u have heart and u earn respect even if the bloke that challenges you that has nothing to lose because he’s got a decade and after a decade his only hope is to get parole just go where no cameras are like the laundry room even though u lose or win you will earn respect
At least some /<unts been behind a bar over the last year…
Ronald A. Dudas – the genius who managed to turn a 17 month jail sentence into a 30 year term. I can see why all the other jail geniuses are flocking to him for advice.
2:42:12 "I'm an excellent business person" – rofl – no you ain't. If you were you'd be outside jail running a restaurant (or a lawn mowing round or a whatever…) making a fortune.
You don't like the dude cause he talks to much just like you haha
“KnoW wHaT tiMe iT iS†… it’s 5:30

Let’s not use the tough childhood excuse! I’m a Prison Officer in the UK 🇬🇧 who had a tough childhood. My father brought me and 2 siblings up on his own. He worked hard and instilled in us a good moral code. We had little but learned to live a good and honest life.
It's April 2021 I bet Ruggles is now serving life !
Good for watching to go to sleep 2
3. 17 minutes could you not of made it any longer.
The Right-Wing supremacist is called ‘A White’. Handy I guess! Flexin because he’s got a shaved head at 35. Silly recidivist.
For the amount of time ruggles says he works out every day… His not that big or ripped
4 years for carrying weed across state lines and its legal in a few already. America is so fucked up
the us prison system is far too soft. no wonder you have such problems with the inmates.
Ruggles? Snuggles*
Edit: That signature he signed read: rUgGleS
That Rebel guy is trying to hard to act like a bad ass
I would do everything to avoid the hole looks really lonely with nothing to do for 23h
That rebel guy sounds like edbassmaster playing a character. Dudes not tough he fake as fuck. Guys like that wouldnt do nothing when the real stuff goes down , but they’re always the loudest about how they fight so much
Why those white suits so big tho
