I Catch Killers Presents: Breaking Badness

Gary speaks to the old friend - and former convict - who once told him they breed animals in prison. Inside Macquarie, he is there as one of the prisoners gets ready to be let out - and Gary realises how much this experience has changed him.

The daughter of a prisoner facing an eight-year stretch tells Gary what prison time costs those on the inside - as well as their families. Back inside Macquarie, her dad sits down to talk about how he ended up in prison, as well as his hopes and fears on release.

Gary sits down for a one on one interview with a prisoner from Macquarie. This time the tables are turned and Gary is the one answering the questions. This episode is available exclusively to Crime X+ subscribers. 

Sitting next to Macquarie, Wellington maximum security prison is a physical reminder that there is another corrections system out there, where they still do things the hard way. Gary pays it a visit and comes face-to-face with a man who’s spent five years in solitary.

Gary sits down behind a closed door with some of the toughest men inside the prison. By the time he walks out, everything he thought he knew about jail has shifted.
