TV - Her Majesty's Prison Aylesbury

Monday 18^th February, 9.00pm

ITV

Aylesbury prison’s inmates make for some unsettling statistics.  Home to Britain’s most dangerous young criminals, one in five is serving a life sentence for their crimes, so heinous were they that the public need protection from these individuals.

Scarier still, Aylesbury’s oldest prisoners are just 21.

Programme makers, Wild Pictures, have won critical acclaim for their previous work in Strangeways, Holloway and Wormwood Scrubs prisons, and were given unprecedented access at Aylesbury prison, Buckinghamshire, over four months to make this two part documentary for ITV.

Officers battle daily to keep control over the rapists, paedophiles and gang members who may never again see outside the prison walls, as well as the, perhaps more difficult task, of rebuilding the lives of the young men who will.
