Madea Goes to Jail

Something big is coming to the big house.

A comedic prison drama centered on a protective maternal figure helping a troubled young woman find redemption, balancing humor with genuine emotional stakes.

After a high-speed car chase, Madea winds up behind bars because her quick temper gets the best of her. Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Josh Hardaway lands a case that's too personal to handle: that of a young prostitute and former drug addict named Candace, also a childhood friend. When Candace winds up in jail, Madea takes the young woman under her protective wing.
