Investigation into Britain's private high security prisons. A reporter goes undercover for five months at HMP Rye Hill in Warwickshire, qualifying as a prison officer. He discovers a world where officers fear for their lives, where prisoners run drug empires from their cells on smuggled mobile phones and officers are openly offered huge sums by inmates to traffick drugs into the prison.
