New programming will begin this week on streaming services such as Netflix and Prime Video, as well as on broadcast and cable television.

Leading the new programming lineup this week is the highly anticipated video game adaptation of "Fallout." It's time to leave the Vault and head to Wasteland. Also making their debut are the historical drama "Franklin," starring Robert Downey Jr. in a dual role, and the spy flick "The Sympathizer." The top new shows to watch this week include.

What is a prison without keys and guards? It's a radical idea that Arkansas Sheriff Eric Higgins tried for six weeks at the Polaski County Detention Facility. Higgins believed the program would improve living conditions in the jail and reduce incarceration rates. During the experiment, inmates were given greater autonomy. They could move around the facility as they pleased and decide how certain things should be run. Doing good deeds gave them more freedom. Some inmates took advantage of this opportunity to build their own lives, while others continued to challenge authority and each other; by the end of the six weeks, Higgins would find out if his ideas were sustainable.
