X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The series is the first documentary offeri
 ng a comprehensive examination of how the intertwined forces of law\, powe
 r\, race\, and class have both shaped and reflected the American experienc
 e over four centuries. It explores the architecture of justice &mdash\; pr
 isons\, police\, courts &mdash\; and the profound moral and social questio
 ns beneath them.</p>\n<p>Told through a deeply human lens\, each episode i
 s grounded in the stories of individuals &mdash\; incarcerated people\, vi
 ctims and family members who&rsquo\;ve been affected\, prison guards and w
 ardens\, police officers\, reformers\, lawyers\, judges\, outlaws\, and jo
 urnalists &mdash\; whose lives were shaped by the policies and politics of
  their time. From the public hangings in Colonial America to Franklin D. R
 oosevelt and J. Edgar Hoover&rsquo\;s war on crime\, from Jesse James to J
 ohn Dillinger\, Lucky Luciano to Frank Costello\, from early television po
 lice procedurals to modern day true crime\, from Jim Crow chain gangs to t
 he silent corridors of today&rsquo\;s supermax prison facilities\, the ser
 ies illuminates both the visible and invisible legacies of punishment in A
