Presenter Mark Baanders and comedian Jay Francis are immediately put to the test upon entry. Sharing a small cell with an ex-con as a cellmate takes some getting used to, to say the least. Mark is painfully hazed and Jay stays anxiously close to cellmate Joop, who seems to have the upper hand. Who has the best tactics to survive in prison?

Inmate Mark Baanders seeks the perpetrator who wronged him, but risks becoming a victim again. Jay experiences the life he narrowly escaped when he traded the weed business for comedy. He misses his wife and infant daughter greatly and even considers breaking the rules for this. During a group session with Peter Faber, emotions run high.

Some inmates feel at home faster than others. Ayoub is held accountable for this. Dennis has more trouble with being locked up. A session about victims also evokes dramatic memories for him. It leads to an extraordinary discussion about the justice of punishment and second chances.
