Growing up in London, prison and the police are things Lauren couldn't avoid thinking about. Seeing how they impact her neighbourhood has given her this natural distrust of the criminal justice system. Lately, she's noticed a lot of stuff on social media about prison abolition, but she has no idea what that phrase really means. So she sets out to find out why people are fighting for a world without prisons.


VENT Documentaries are produced by Jess Lawson and Arlie Adlington, with help from Emilia Gill, Moeed Majeed and Kamiah Chae.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
