The documentary follows Allan Weaver, a Scottish ex-offender turned probation officer as he explores how individuals like himself get caught up in the criminal justice system, and how some are eventually able to leave a life of crime behind. He discovers that &#8220;the system&#8221; actually leads to more re-offending, because it encourages labeling and stigmatization of ex-offenders.<\/p>\n<p>The film references the research of American criminologists <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nij.gov\/about\/director\/welcome.htm\">John Laub<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/scholar.harvard.edu\/sampson\/\">Robert J.
