Debut: FRIDAY, MAY 19 (7:30-8:00 p.m. ET/PT)

"Women Behind Bars": The number of women incarcerated in the U.S. has increased 700% since 1980, overwhelming prisons and jails originally designed for men. The majority are nonviolent offenders and mothers serving out sentences in facilities often unprepared to address their most basic needs. Isobel Yeung spends time in prisons across the country, discovering what it means to be an American woman behind bars.

"The Business of Making Art": Andy Warhol's work dramatically redefined the notion of art and questioned the very idea of what it means for an artist to make art. With Warhol's art now fetching tremendous sums, Ben Anderson embarks on a journey through the art world with some of Warhol's master printers to explore not just the question "What is art?," but, "What is a Warhol?"
