From its beginning during the Reagan years through current times, the War on Drugs has left many victims stranded in the prison system. PRISONERS OF THE WAR ON DRUGS reveals life behind bars in the nation’s prisons.

This film provides an inside look at the prison system, its prisoners and a war on drugs we do not seem to be winning.
