In the unscripted film, co-creators Johnny Collins and Joel Jerome interact with offenders in a unique, dramatic and ultimately comedic fashion in an effort to help them turn over a new leaf so that they can become productive members of society. In the process, Collins and Jerome ultimately organize a talent contest as a way to rehabilitate the prison's inmate population.

The talent contest included performances by established comedians (Steve Wilson - Comedy Central Live at Gotham and D.L. Hughley Radio Show, Edwin San Juan - Showtime Pacific Rim Comedy, comedian and former inmate Michael "Big Mike" Mitchell, comedians and co-creators Johnny Collins and Joel Jerome); as well as numerous inmates who want to pursue singing, comedy and acting as a way to live successful, crime-free lives. Actor/rapper Ice-T contributes on-camera commentary and some voice-over in the completed project.

The Indiana Department of Correction enjoyed the documentary so much that they have granted Doin' Time Entertainment LLC continued access in its prisons to film an episodic series based on the documentary, or a follow-up film. Doin' Time Entertainment also has written approval from the New York Department of Correctional Services to film another project in two of its prisons, including Sing Sing Correctional Facility.

Doin' Time Entertainment is currently seeking a distribution deal for the recently completed documentary and a partner for the upcoming episodic television series.
