In a dangerously overcrowded California State prison, 50 lifers seize a groundbreaking opportunity to become among the nation's first incarcerated Substance Abuse Counselors. 'The 50' chronicles how the first participants of the Offender Mentor Program not only navigate their own deep-seated traumas, but harness those experiences to emerge as society's most adept healers. An intimate study on redemption.
