F’d Up
When a government crew begins documenting a struggling federal prison during budget cuts, the unstable staff becomes more dysfunctional than the inmates themselves.
At this federal prison, the inmates really do run the asylum…
Welcome to Hakesburg
Jessica Reece is the Warden of Hakesburg Federal Prison Camp in Pennsylvania. She’s at the bottom of the food chain in the Federal Government - an afterthought, a blip, a nothing.
DOGE comes to town and wants to make some cuts. But, how can it get any worse? Her staff is underperforming, underpaid, and under each other’s skin. Their personal lives are a mess. The inmates are ready to mutiny. In summary, it’s all pretty f’d up.
Meet the Emotionally Volatile Staff
