In Oregon up until 2001 there was a race team based out of the Oregon state prison. They got their own sponsors and even had to raise money for pit passes. They were under guard while at the track. I remember watching the car race when I was a kid and always thought it was a cool story. Well, they are making a documentary about it now, here is the trailer.
Warning, some coarse language.

I saw a documentary on prison recently, but it was called "Pillowbiters". It was about a slightly different aspect of prison life.
In all seriousness I love documentaries and that looks like a good one. Very interesting.

Pretty interesting. Reminds me of the prison rodeo team in the Pryor / Wilder flick Stir Crazy.
