Two Strikes, a film produced with The Marshall Project as part of FRONTLINE’s fellowship with Firelight Media, examines the impact of a little-known “two-strikes” law.

The documentary tells the story of how a former West Point cadet struggling with PTSD and alcoholism got life in prison in Florida after an attempted carjacking — a sentence that even the victim viewed as too harsh.

Also in this two-part hour, Tutwiler, a look at pregnant women in prison and what happens to their newborns.
