The California prison system has been undergoing a radical change. Inspired by prisons in Scandinavia, which treat incarceration as an opportunity to rehabilitate inmates, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation launched its own initiative. They called it ‘The California Model.’ However, according to retired correctional lieutenant Hector Bravo, the new model has led to more violence and corruption. Watch Hector reveal what working inside the California Model is really like on @VICE. About VICE: The Definitive Guide To Enlightening Information.
