If you"re a fan of the recent prison dramas on primetime, then you"ll be sure to love the real-life version that the Discovery Channel will begin airing this fall. They"re calling the documentary-style series Breaking Point and Ted Koppel will be the brave journalist to take audiences behind prison walls.
The name itself speaks to the fact that many prisons are "threatening to break down,” as Koppel states. He gets up close and personal with inmates, prison guards, and victims effected directly by the failing system, to illustrate this fact to American audiences. Breaking Point premiers October 7th at 9PM/ET on the Discovery Channel.
