Wallace speaks to Knox about the footage of his fight and implores him to tell the truth, vowing to get him out of solitary if he does. He tells her he wants to sue the police over withholding his police file and tries to get her onboard to support him, which she eventually does.


Whether it be Prison Break and Orange Is The New Black (the early seasons, before they started losing quality), or Wentworth and Oz, there’s a timeless quality about life behind bars and seeing prisoners rising up or working together to overthrow a corrupt system is a simple but effective story trope that never seems to get old.įor Life then is an interesting series in that respect, standing out from those dramas by combining its court-room segments with the usual prison tropes and some strong acting performances to back it up.Įpisode 2 of For Life begins with Aaron narrating about pitting one debt against another before sitting with the warden and talking. There’s something really engrossing about prison dramas that I can’t help but become invested in.
