What do an ex-prime minister turned cannibal, a political prisoner practicing yoga, and a cult leader with too many wives have in common? They all end up in the same bizarre place: prison.

​

The Correctional is an award-nominated Israeli sketch comedy series, originally aired on Kan 11, that became a breakout hit for its absurd and fearless satire. Each episode unfolds through sharp, fast-paced sketches, spotlighting eccentric inmates and guards whose stories expose the madness of the system.

​

Balancing over-the-top humor with biting social commentary, the series skewers politics, religion, and everyday dysfunctions—proving that the prison is nothing more than a distorted reflection of the world outside.

The Correctional isn’t just a hit series—it’s a comedy format with real international soul. Its sketch-driven structure and prison backdrop are universally adaptable, giving each country the chance to lampoon its own politics, power games, and cultural quirks. Bold, absurd, and endlessly flexible, it’s built to spark local breakouts worldwide.
