Episode 1

Thirty-year-old repeat offender Gemma, serving five years for burglary at HMP Downview in Surrey, talks about how her upbringing led her into a life of crime. She has a reputation for bad behaviour - which soon becomes apparent when she threatens a fellow prisoner. Meanwhile, new officer Jon Aldridge begins his first shift at HMP Bullingdon in Oxfordshire and seeks advice from one of the most respected men on the wing - top dog Anthony.

Episode 2

Friday means canteen day at HMP Bullingdon - where prisoners are delivered small treats like chocolate and shower gel which they buy with money earned from their jail jobs or sent in by friends and family outside. The only problem is, behind bars goods become much more valuable than they are on the outside, which can lead to debts - and payback.
