    A C4 documentary shot inside a prison focusing on the prisoners and their life in the prison, their crimes and their tariffs.

    There was a few belters, there was a disturbed guy who self harmed so much the were talking of chopping his arm off, you should've seen the state of this guys arm, and he broke a bit of plastic fork off and shoved it in one of the open wounds and the prison docs were trying to locate it.

    Next up was Kieron, the Rangers supporting Welshman who seemed like a decent bloke who just made a **** of it whilst pished and battered a **** to death.

    Finally, there was a guy who was getting filmed talking to his daughters, his crime was to murder their mother.

    She basically started shagging a guy and the husband was paying for their meals and hotels, when she called him worthless, he strangled her to death.

    'twas a good programme to watch though, anyone else catch it?

    Yeah, it was good. That Rangers fan was nuts. Spent an hour and a half beating some random bloke to death, and wasn't really sure if he regretted it. The other one's missus had it coming though. Cheeky bitch.

    I've got it recorded, decided to watch Alan Partridge on Sky Atlantic instead. Quite a let down.

    I'd imagine lifers would have featured a few people who would fit in well here. Was one of them wizgub?

    Yeah, thought the sentence may have been slightly more lenient considering it would have been a crime of passion.

    The bloke didn’t look like he would last a week in the nick.

    Lifers was good. that prison was cushy as ****, not like Bar-L anyway <whistle>

    That Welsh Gers fan's story didn't add up. Who exactly did he kill? he said he went out for a *** with his 2 workmates and they 2 started arguing. Is that right?

    Yes, and they started arguing, then he told one to stand over there, then he beat the other one to death for and hour and a half, then hid the body in some bushes.

    How many Welsh Rangers fans called Keiron do you know? That's me up to 8.

    I think he said the bloke was arguing with his mate. Why did no one stop him from stamping on the bloke's head for 90 minutes? And why was a proud Welshman a Ger?

    So what did the other guy do then? Just go to work the next day as if nothing happened? "Where's Glynn lads?" "don't know, think he's at the doctors boss"

    Why not?

    You think Man U have a monopoly on attracting fans from other countries?

    Thought it was quite a good programme. A good point made by one con at the start who was starting a sentance which would pretty much see him end his days in nick. "What's to stop me attacking these two guards right now? It can't get any worse for me. Not that I would. "

    Thoroughly decent chap.

    The Stoke lad who went for his mother in court. Really sad stuff.

    I can't believe she didn't take the rap for him though. Mind you, he seemed to like it in prison anyway.
