This season, we’ve followed one man with a life sentence who got an unexpected second chance at life. But before he came home, GILBERT BAO helped revolutionize the whole concept of rehabilitation in prisons.
HE AND OTHER INCARCERATED MEN took on the work of changing themselves — and with them, an entire prison system.

ABOUT GRAY AREA
We tell the stories of people who are trying to get beyond labels of right and wrong or good and evil to get to something even bigger: redemption. Gray Area deals with some pretty heavy stuff, but it also lightens up when you least expect it.
As our co-producer Mara Reynolds says, it’ll make you cry — but in a good way. So please check out Season One.
