Prison Town, USA is a 2007 documentary film about Susanville, California, a small, rural town in the northeastern part of the state that tries to resuscitate its economy by accepting construction of a state prison.

Half of the adults in Susanville work in these facilities, and 11,000 people are incarcerated in the rural county.

[1] The film follows four men, their families, and how they react to the new institution: Lonnie Tyler, a prisoner; Dawayne Brasher and Gabe Jones, guards; and Mike O'Kelly, a dairyman threatened by how the prison could affect the community's buy-local policy.

[2] Prison Town, USA was written, produced, and directed by Katie Galloway and Po Kutchins.
