DOCUMENTARY - Bbc stories - Training for a life in prison

Directed, filmed and edited

Could you cut it as a prison officer? And with Britain’s prisons in 'crisis', why would you want to work in one?

We got exclusive access to new recruits training in the North East of England as they learn to cope with the volatile nature of their new jobs.

What started off as a four minute commission, turned into a half hour documentary for iPlayer and YouTube.
