LOCKUP: GUARDS AT RISK
Men and women who work in correctional facilities face a rate of workplace violence
second only to police officers. Prison staff have significantly higher rates of
alcoholism, drug abuse, and divorce. And they have a suicide rate reported to be ten
times the national average. We take you inside some of America's toughest prisons to
find out how guards endure the extraordinary pressures of doing time with some of
America's most violent inmates.
Hosted by Forrest Sawyer.
10PM ET
LOCKUP: VIOLENCE BEHIND BARS
America is a nation that prides itself on freedom, yet the United States has the
highest percentage of its citizens locked behind bars of any nation on earth, close
to two million men and women. The government spends over 24 billion dollars a year on
secure prisons, but the world behind bars is very often a violent one. We take our
cameras into some of America's toughest prisons, to reveal the cycle of violence,
what's being done to fight it, and how it's a problem that reaches beyond the prison
walls.
Hosted by Forrest Sawyer.

LOCKUP: SURVIVAL BEHIND BARS
For the nearly two million men and women behind bars, simple survival can be a
challenge. But are the billions of dollars pouring into the system being spent the
right way? We look at some of the ways corrections officials are trying to maintain
order, from new Supermax facilities to surprise searches of inmates' cells and the
extensive use of solitary confinement -- sometimes for 23 hours a day over several
years.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: RAISING THE HUNLEY

archaeologist Bob Neyland as he works to raise a piece of American history.

***NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER: MONGOOSE MURDERS ***PREMIERE
Travel with a team of biologists roaming the wild where they are threatened by
elephants, buffalos and lions as they track a pack of banded mongooses. (Am I the
only one who calls them mongeese?) No matter what you call them, this particular pack
of mongooses is fascinating to follow-- all the females in this group give birth on

find out who's gotten them.
