For the first time in years, cameras have been allowed behind the walls of an English prison. With exclusive access to HMP Durham, this three-part series offers the viewer a unique insight into the ecosystems that underpin it. Embedded on the wings for over 7 months, the films uncover the hierarchical structures of the prison population and reveals how the understaffed, overworked officers combat the issues of drugs, mental health and violence.
