street time (2002)

Synopsis

“Street Time,” Showtime's explosive gritty crime drama, explores the federal parole system from both sides of the law. Parole officers, Scott Cohen, Erica Alexander and supervisor Terence Howard have the power of freedom or back to jail for parolees like Rob Morrow and a fascinating variety of guest stars. Each week, a dramatic cat-and-mouse game ensues between struggling officers and their audacious parolees.

Cohen stars as James Liberti, a temperamental officer teetering on the edge of sanity. Problems with his wife, influenced by his gambling and their kinky sex habits, often rival the stress of keeping his parolees in line. Morrow stars as Kevin Hunter, a charismatic and intelligent drug dealer, torn between his love for his wife and the temptations that might lead him back to prison.
