On a maximum-security yard, a dying lifer risks everything to unite sworn enemies in a radical truth-telling circle—igniting a covert movement that threatens the gangs’ power, the administration’s order, and the codes they live by.
Created by Aaron Burris and Gethin Aldous.
A TV drama about redemption and transformation at one of the harshest prisons in America.
Rag and Bone Men collect what others throw away. They take the broken pieces and make something new.
Rag and Bone Men is a one-hour ensemble drama set in New Folsom Prison. Season One centers Pat Nolan, a lifer dying of Hepatitis C, who sparks a revolution by declaring, "There has to be another way." But this is not just his story.
This is the story of the entire yard: the kings and their followers in this violent kingdom. We navigate the complex, ever-shifting politics between the Black, Mexican, and White gangs, each with their own factions and agendas. As Pat's healing circle gains power, it threatens the fragile economy of violence, forcing everyone—from the gang leaders and a naive chaplain, to conflicted guards—to choose a side.
It’s a raw, authentic portrayal of redemption and power, asking what it truly means to be free.
