It’s 532 AD. Fifty thousand people are watching Helena, a woman chained in the center of the arena, waiting for a sentence that was never written in any law.

We think of prison as a modern invention of concrete and cameras. But the system for breaking human beings was perfected centuries ago. The Hippodrome of Constantinople wasn't just for sports—it was the original Supermax.

In this episode, we uncover the dark history of the "Blues and Greens" (the first prison gangs), the psychological torture of public execution, and how the architecture of fear remains unchanged after 1,500 years.

We changed the technology. We never changed the method.
