WATCH: Prison Families Episode 3 - Fall of the Golden Boy When New Zealand parents Paul and Karen returned home one ordinary day, they found their world shattered — their son Dylan had been arrested in a major police operation targeting gang-related drug activity. Once a promising young man with a future in the family business and a passion for bodybuilding, Dylan’s life took a turn when performance-enhancing drugs led him into deeper trouble. This emotional documentary follows the devastating impact of incarceration on a close-knit family. From prison visits and desperate late-night phone calls to a mother’s quiet hope of having her son home for Christmas, it captures how life on the outside can be just as painful as life behind bars. Will Dylan’s rehabilitation efforts and participation in a prison treatment program grant him an early release? Or will the consequences of one mistake echo far beyond the prison walls? Episode 4 - The Real Sopranos - Joanne's Story In this powerful documentary, we enter the world of the Ashby–Taylor family — a tight-knit clan navigating life with loved ones behind bars. Joanne Ashby is a devoted mother of four, a widow, and the sister of Arthur Taylor — one of New Zealand’s most infamous prisoners, known for multiple escapes, legal battles from behind bars, and a criminal record spanning decades. Joanne married Arthur’s former cellmate, Brett, and built a life in rural New Zealand. But when Brett is suddenly arrested for murder and diagnosed with terminal cancer, Joanne finds herself fighting to hold her family together — raising her children alone while managing court cases, grief, and stigma. Through daily prison calls, family milestones, and unshakeable loyalty, this episode reveals the complex reality of what it means to be a prison family — where love, loyalty, and resilience are tested at every turn.
