New Zealand tops global peace rankings yet has the second highest imprisonment rate in the western world, with the jail population doubling over two decades and each prisoner costing the state roughly $94,000 a year. Al Jazeera's 101 East gets inside the prisons and the gang networks feeding them, finding that Maori make up half the prison population while accounting for just 15 percent of New Zealanders. Interviews with inmates, families, and community leaders trace the pipeline: child poverty, school dropout, and family breakdown pushing young Maori toward gangs like the Mongrel Mob and Black Power, both modeled decades ago on American biker clubs like the Hells Angels. The film follows a prison cultural unit that teaches the Haka and tries to reconnect inmates with their whakapapa, but notes only half the men in the program stay in contact with their own families. With half of released prisoners back inside within two years, the film weighs whether New Zealand's tough sentencing has actually made anyone safer.
