Very realistic. Literally the only thing that wouldn't have happened was right at the end of episode 3 when the two main characters are in the holding cell together. I won't give spoilers but one would never have returned to that prison.Usual good Jimmy McGovern programme.
So Scothegg, how realistic was that?
Were you not involved as a consultant?Very realistic. Literally the only thing that wouldn't have happened was right at the end of episode 3 when the two main characters are in the holding cell together. I won't give spoilers but one would never have returned to that prison.
I have witnessed everything else, the assaults and far more, the corruption, the vulnerability of those on both sides of the bars, and the humanity that underpins some very dark experiences.
Excellent programme and worth watching for anyone who wants to know why I'm so messed up!!!

Shame on the program makers!
I'm not ashamed to say that the job has given me nightmares and changed me as a person. Extreme violence becomes normal, and its only when you take a moment to stop that you realise that it's far from normal and no one should have to see some of things I have seen.The horror of the first episode.
I’m not sure I could survive that.
