I could not believe how awesome this episode was. It was beyond anything I would have ever expected. In this episode we see a darker side of the series. Hanson, Penhall, Ioki, and Booker are put undercover in a juvenile lock-up. WE can see the immediate changes in all three of them as they experience the lives of the kids living there. Everyone is depressed throughout this entire episode, and things seem to get worse. Ioki and Booker are transferred. Penhall loses it in solitary because of his clausterphobia. Hanson is left alone.
In a way, seeing Hanson start to "lose it" was kind of distburbing for me, but the effect was very appropriate for the episode. Being locked in there really made Hanson (and us) understand things from these kids' point of view. It was the first time in the series I have seen Hanson cry (ok it was one tear), which of course, I couldn't help joining in. Although it was depressing, it wasn't difficult to realize how amazing and well done this episode was. It remains my favourite in the series, and that will probably stand.moreless

TRIVIA (6)
ADD TRIVIA-
TRIVIA: This episode shows Hanson smoking pot (given to him earlier by a detainee) for the first time. This is in the scene when he is drinking alone in the tunnel waiting to meet a girl. This uncharacteristic behavior was presumably meant to show the strain of being locked up with people he helped put away, and may forshadow his future incarceration issues.
-
TRIVIA: Booker's character was originally supposed to be killed off at the end of the 3rd season, but due to his popularity he was given his own show as a spinoff.
