BBC1 programme on the prison system.

I watched the first episode of a four part series on the prison service this week.
I didn't really intend to watch it all, but I found myself wanting to know what would happen to the individuals who featured in the show. It highlighted many of the usual issues relating to short stay prisoners; drug problems, homelessness, lack of support on leaving prison. Despite that, it was on the whole a surprisingly optimistic programme (maybe overly so?) and I'll be watching the other episodes.

Have a look here to visit the BBC website for the programme and to view last week's episode.
