Funimation describes the series:
Welcome to Nanba, the world's largest, most impenetrable prison. Locked away in cell block 13 are four inmates who provide more than enough trouble for Officer Hajime. Between attempted breakouts, gambling, and general misbehaving, these four believe that just because they're in prison doesn't mean they can't have fun! Follow the hijinks of Jyugo, Uno, Rock, and Nico as they pass time behind bars.
The Nanbaka anime premiered in Japan in October, and Crunchyroll streamed the television series and its original net anime sequel simultaneously with Japan. Crunchyroll is also offering the original manga online. Funimation dubbed the anime as it aired in Japan.
