Concrete Purgatory: The Maximum Security Prison Where Privacy Doesn't Exist | Free Documentary The Inmates We Fear Most - Inside a Maximum Security Prison for Murderers: Five hardened criminals, one unique prison, in a groundbreaking observational documentary series that will show you for the first time what prison is really like. Singapore’s Changi Prison is a concrete purgatory, spartan to the extreme. There are no beds, no pillows, and no chairs in the cells. A shower is only possible by stooping over a toilet hole. Humiliating strip searches are routine, as a matter of security. Yet, practiced in this prison are some of the most sophisticated methods to reform the hearts and minds of the most recalcitrant prisoners. So much so that Singapore’s reoffending rates are among the lowest globally. Yet even at those low rates, at least 1-in-5 inmates are back in jail within 2 years after their release. For the first time ever, six inmates, incarcerated multiple times and at least once at maximum security, agree to reveal their full identities for our cameras to capture their lives behind bars, as they unfold. Will the regime in jail finally be enough for them to renounce a life of crime? Will this be their final stint in Changi Prison? 00:00:00 Life in Lockdown 00:41:38 Keeping Bonds Beyond Bars 01:24:20 Breaking Bad Habits 02:07:08 Road To Freedom ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

From Executive Producers Bryan Fuller (Hannibal) and Steak House (The Mustang), Queer for Fear is a four-part documentary series about the history of the LGBTQ+ community in the horror and thriller genres. From its literary origins with queer authors Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde to the pansy craze of the 1920s that influenced Universal Monsters and Hitchcock; from the “lavender scare” alien invasion films of the mid-20th century to the AIDS obsessed bloodletting of 80s vampire films; through genre-bending horrors from a new generation of queer creators; Queer for Fear re-examines genre stories through a queer lens, seeing them not as violent, murderous narratives, but as tales of survival that resonate thematically with queer audiences everywhere.
