Overview

This episode follows a group of repeat offenders from Pentonville prison, which holds over a thousand male prisoners. Mick is in his 40s and has spent years going in and out of jail; unless he gets housing once he's released, he will commit crime to get back behind bars. Senol is trying to put a violent past behind him and build a better future with his fiancée, but on the outside he struggles with alcohol and his temper. While each experience is different, nearly all share a shocking truth that many offenders feel more at home in prison than out.
