A parking lot outside of one of the most infamous jails in Canada is excavated by crew of archaeologists revealing a long forgotten grave yard of prisoners executed between 1880 and 1925. Great insight is given in to Canada's past as well as the lives and times of the Convicts their victims and the jail itself. The narrator/host is engaging with out being sensationalist, the re- enactments are well scripted and acted, the archaeologists are enthusiastic, informative, concise and respectful of the dead. In the end, all the remains are give a reburial service in consecrated ground at a cemetery with an even greater history than the Don Jail.
