Her Majesty's Prison: Aylesbury: Episode #1.2 (2013)
Second episode of excellent programme
This is the second episode of what is an excellent TV programme. I think this episode is even better than the first but overall the two episodes reflect the real harsh reality of prison life for young men. The production team have gone to great lengths to tell the story without over dramatising the facts. All those involved have been moved by the plight of some of these young men. They have committed serious crimes and need to be in prison to protect the public. However what the programme reflects is the human side of how staff cope under pressure and how prisoners survive in a hostile environment. Well done to the production team for delivering a factual and balanced account of prison life for young men and staff.

Reflects reality of prison for young persons
As someone close to the reality of prison life I can honestly say this programme reflects the harsh reality of today's young imprisoned persons. It's hard, it's often sad, it's disturbing but it's as it is, to the point without any frills. The production team got the facts spot on, it's hard hitting but it's real. The reality is that many of these young men have committed awful crimes and prison is the only way to protect the public. However, as the programme reflects, prison is not a holiday camp for these young men. Its a hard environment for prisoners but also for staff who have to remain professional often under extreme pressure. The programme reflects this extremely well. I am proud that the prison service allowed this production to go ahead. It's an excellent programme which many will watch over and over again.
