 TLO was popping Y'all are on twitch. We are not live, but you can leave a like comment subscribe Turn on your post notification bells man Listen to you to grow the family from Chicago to the UK. I know you can only hear me in your left ear. I know It's nothing I can do about it. My mic is messed up until I get back to Chicago Inside prison Britain behind bars season one episode one Let's get into it. This is what y'all been wanting. It wishes my command Honestly forgot that I was supposed to do it now. I remember somebody just reminded me You're not about to copy right me I'm not Thanks for continuing to threaten manner before nothing quite that There's more drugs in prison than there is on the out. Yeah, so that's time. All the time. That's the intro. Britain's prison estate stretches from Inverness to Dartmoor. Over six months, we followed the extremes of life inside. From women's prisons... Young offender institutes... They don't stop asking around mess, we're moving cells. Are you been doing drugs? It's a system... Absolutely. Which is about to say, yeah, something like that. Wait, so your prison system isn't privatised? Like some of them are now, right? He told us, while he's been in custody, he's made just over £280,000 by selling mobile phones and drugs. And he's only been in eight months. Some of us got to work a decade to earn that much. For the 300 female prisoners at Downview, money is crucial to survive. They get it from prison jobs. From friends and family. And from some rather unorthodox sources. Hello, Peter. How are you? Did you put that money in the bank account? Oh, why not? For 31-year-old repeater-fender, Jenna Janes, making money has always been the name of the game. Now I'm an expert at shoplifting. Everyone is trying to hustle. I learnt it from young to manipulate everyone quite quickly. Jenna is serving five years inside for burglary, but she's found a way of making money from men on the outside. We put a little photo and a little message in a magazine, Lonely Hearts column. Most people put naked photos in there, but I won't do that. I don't put my photo in there, I put other people's, because I don't want no one to know, and I'm never going to meet these people. Some of them write filthy letters. And on my taste bud, on my level of taste. Got a fan mail from my sugar daddies. Oh, right, then. Shipper Pumps. It's the same letter twice. Pussy Pussy. Has he got dementia? Pussy Pussy loves juicy pussy, loves pussy pussy, loves juicy pussy. I love both your pussy. I never met them. Hey, look, he ran! I never met them. Whoever wrote that is my spirit animal. 300 pounds. Oh, my God. He's going to send me 300 pounds. They do find these poor men. They'll have to look at the sugar daddy site, isn't they? They're perverts. They're all perverts. They all want young girls to manipulate them. I think he needs to find a new way to get in class. Yeah, I know. With drugs rife in prisons like Downview, it's easy for inmates to get into debt. Gemma is desperate for more money from one of her sugar daddies to pay off spice dealers on the wing. Hello. You know, you haven't sent me money for about two weeks, three weeks. I've had to juggle bubble off people, yeah, and they're saying if it's not here, like, within the next few days, I'm going to get beaten up. They've sent me money. I've just had a falling out with them because the prison decided to swap the letters over, and the envelope's two men that I like to. They've swapped the letters over, so they've got each other's letters, so they're going mad at me and they're not sending me money right now. Shall I give you a... The prison system threw salt in your game, and it was probably on purpose. I'll bring you back in a minute. It's probably your girl you was just telling all your business to. The details, our details. My friends to put it in her account. Look out, we just put it in a envelope and posted... But I'm in trouble. Oh, whatever. Send my photos back. I'll just take your loads of photos. I was running back. At first I had about 14 of them. And then I got out. I never go and meet them. I never go and see them, and so slowly I've lost them all. It's naughty what I do, but I think if I was really a young girl, 16, 17, they'd be trying to manipulate me. Across many prisons in Britain, Friday is canteen day. A chance for prisoners to buy treats with the money they earn inside and money they get from friends and family outside. There she is. As tobacco was banned in prisons in 2018, many inmates now buy vapes, which are very tradable. That was a lot of money. They got vapes in prison now, that's tough. I didn't even know that. Inside prison, 10 times what you'd pay outside. I think I'd heard recently that a lighter, a plastic disposable lighter, you'd probably get three for a pound for in a pound shop. In prison it's 50 or 60 quid. And Laura was looking after me today because you see an opportunity downstairs where the door was unlocked, I went in and I robbed eight packets of vapes. And I'm that worried that I put two pairs of knickers on so that if they strip-search me, and I put the towel around me, I've still got knickers on, and then in these knickers I'm going to show you a secret. So when I get strip-searched and I've got two pairs of knickers on, they won't know, have a towel around me and I drop my jaws, but I've got another pair on. They're never going to know. So that's what that little pouch for is in there. It's for inmates. Got it. With violence and drugs endemic in Britain's jails, the authorities have drafted in 2,500 rookie officers across the country. I've just said I'm going to come out. Finish college. You're live now. You need to stack up. You need to take charge of these business. In HMP Bullington, Oxfordshire, an alarming 75% of officers are in their first two years of service. Everyone is ignoring me. That's not very assuring. It's only about 15 officers. All right, all right. Now they're shouting at me. This is my first day live, mate, so give me some slack. Today, former office worker John Aldridge is starting his first shift. He will have to control 65 inmates and one of the three spurs on Seaway. What are you doing up here, buddy? What are you doing up here? This sprawling prison is home to over 1,100 prisoners, ranging from shoplifters to murderers. Come on, the ones, then. Let's go. Let's move on. Spur three, please. Shoplifters and murderers are the same tier of prison. Your old John has just completed a 10-week college training course. I decided to become a prison officer. I was trawling through job adverts, and I clicked on it and I didn't read the job description at all. Actually, that sounds really quite interesting. It actually does not at all. Violence against staff in Britain's prisons has risen dramatically as gangs of prisoners battle for control of the wings. It's up by nearly a third in the past 12 months. Bullingdon saw over 130 assaults on officers last year alone. A little bit nerve-wracking. College seems quite a long way to move from here. Looking forward to, actually, I guess taking the training wheels off. He's basically like passing me a test and taking the L plates off and putting the little green peas on. It's 7.45 in the morning. Unlock at Bullingdon. John's first task is to check on the prisoners. Step back a bit, mate. I just want to come in and have a chat. I don't want to talk through a door. I don't want to talk. I'm not going to let you out now to go back behind your door. It's just so new. You don't really know what you're doing yet. You've given me a bit of chip. It's not going to help me learn, though, is it? Do you want to fucking fall out again? No, I don't. Why are you standing there doing this shit? I'm not trying to cause shit. All you're doing is aggravating the situation. All right, I'll go away. Simple as that, man. Keep it by the books. My man don't want to talk. These are not your friends. That's it. Just leave behind the doors. I thought I was going to be all right today. I don't feel all right now. In need of serious advice on managing the prisoners, John seeks help from one of the most respected men on the wing, 35-year-old prisoner, top dog, Anthony Gooch. Mills is really part of setting the rules for him. Is he part of the books going? Yeah, to speak to you, you can say something and make you take it the wrong way. There's no point in trying. That's another thing. Everything is just finding that boundary in between. Yeah. Of doing your job and giving them a better lead way with certain people. He's come onto the wing and he's a typical new officer. He's doing everything by the book as he was trained. And if you do that, it sort of goes against the grain with certain inmates. If you have the attitude of coming in and going by the book, you sort of gain a lot of enemies very, very quickly. And as we've seen in the past, inmates have ways to deal with officers like this. Normally ends up with a big bucket of urine or extramen thrown over their heads or they're assaulted. So it is key that they come in and they get to know the people and they learn how the wing is run. It's made threats to go up the bars, it's made threats to harm staff, it's made threats to disrupt the racing. One officer who knows better than most how to gain the respect of the prisoners is supervising officer Mark Walker. I'm the type of guy that will have a laugh and a joke with them. I'll take the mickey out of them, but they know that when I am serious and I need things to be done, the majority of the time it gets done. It's a lesson that John needs to learn and fast. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Oh, what, Dickhead? What are you going to do? Do not call me Dickhead. Oh, what? Oh, what? Oh, what? You're a Dickhead. You're a Dickhead. You're a Dickhead. You're a Dickhead. You're a Dickhead. You're a Dickhead. You're a Dickhead. You're a Dickhead. You're talking to the new dude? Like, he's actually trying to get a living. Like, leave that man alone. I have just been called a Dickhead. Look, I told y'all where he's supposed to work. He's supposed to be handing out Xbox 360 disc from behind a counter or ringing your groceries up. This is not for you, sir. That's what it's just happened then? Multiple times. Right? Try and distance yourself. When it's like... Yeah, I did mine. My brain... My brain... I was like... If I'm being honest, I was starting to get a little bit scared there because he's bigger than me. This is why this is our safe area. Just put distance between yourself. It's not backing off. It's not walking away. It's for your safety. He was just frustrated and not getting the right answer. You've just started. It's still a learning process. Some people get frustrated like that. They do. All right? I've been spoken to in a threatening manner before, nothing quite that threatening. And he's a big bloke. He ain't constant enough to... Not by a prisoner that's probably in there for ten years. Hold on, I'll be back. I'm going to edit this out. Don't even worry about it. I'll be right back. See, for y'all, that was probably like a split second. Nothing. Working a prisoner. You don't know what he's doing. He's a bit of a feminine officer. I'm not being racist or wherever you call that, but I think he's a bit soft to work in a prison. These people are coming out of prison. I don't think so. Personally. If you took Mr Longbridge after a six-car scene and stuck him in Wandsworth, oh, my God. He's a bit of a... He's a bit of a... He's a bit of a... He's a bit of a... He's a bit of a... He's a bit of a feminine officer. I'm not being racist or wherever you call... What are you talking about, guy? All that. But I think he's a bit... He's a bit soft to work in a prison. These people are coming out of college and they're coming into here and they're looking at people that have done eight years in prison that have not scrolled out every week. His mentality, he should be an officer. Wandsworth. Oh, my God. He quit. He quit the same day. Sweater God, he walked straight out and got him down up to me. This is a new issue, officer. This is your perfect definition of... He's quite toned. He's fair. He's got a pretty mouth and he's good. This is what we want. He's got a pretty... I bet you he got Vaseline in his pocket. I already know that. He's got Vaseline in his pocket. He's got Vaseline in his pocket. He's got Vaseline in his pocket. He's got Vaseline in his pocket. He's got Vaseline in his pocket. There are over 3,800 women behind bars in Britain and they are far more likely than men to be jailed for a first offence and keeping order presents its own unique challenges. A lot of people say I could never work with women but they're not violent. It is a lot of mental going to them but if you can deal with that side of it then... Sure, you can put it together when you all do. You ain't here, okay? That's L.A., L.A., L.A., Robert, Get on with it. 23-year-old Ellie Roberts is one of six officers who controls 100 inmates on Sea Wing. Today, she is having a weekly catch-up with prisoner Jena. All right, how's your week been? It's been really good, actually. You've got a job on the wing as a painter. And you've helped me so much. You haven't judged me and no matter what I've done, however naughty I've been, you've all supported me. I'm getting closer to my faith. I'm reading my religious books and I'm not tempted to... I'm not getting cravings. I'm not... Because everything's positive right now and everyone's helping me and I don't want to let everyone down. I don't want to let myself down. Ellie is impressed with Jema's progress but not everyone on the wing is so enamoured. You little nitty, you little fucking thing. I'm ignoring her. She's doing this because she thinks I've had drugs and not shared it with her. What, have you? No, I haven't. She wants me to beat her, isn't she? And I will beat her. No, you won't. We'll just go backwards together. Jema. No, do it! Come, do it! Jema. Come, Tracy! Move, move, move! Move! Move the item, then. Come! Come, because you've been caught in there. Come on, Tracy, please. Come on, Tracy, please. Move the item, then. Tell her to just run it out on the office of an item. Tracy. Come on, you've let her run it out on the office of an item. Tell her to go round on it. You do grasp me up. You grasp me up. You're a grash! You're a grash! You're a grash! She's a grash! At least the case is down the same. What would you do that? Sit down. Because they're trying to provoke me, isn't it? They're trying to provoke me. Yes, I know. And you're rising to it. You're rising to it. I don't give two shits. You're starting off, Lily. I love you. I'll find you back. No, you're starting to be off now. I thought... Why is she doing this? She was my friend, didn't she? She thinks I've had drugs without her, and she's going on like this. I bet she don't even go on basic for that. You run out the door. Because she's threatening me, miss. She's threatening me, obviously. You don't even lie and to defend yourself, do you? No. I'm like, I told you to. Yeah, I know. All right, so whatever, innit? It's just good. She's troubled a lot. She's a trouble maker, but... She's funny. I think she's quite funny. I probably shouldn't think she's as funny as she is, but she is. Despite Gemma's violent antics, she's recently found spiritual guidance for the most unlikely places. I found a Quran on a bin one day, on a metal bin when I was walking past. For some reason, I felt like, one, it shouldn't be on that bin, and one, it dropped out of the sky for me to read. When I find things, sometimes I think, God's dropped it out of the sky for me to find. I've been in jail two... She found God in the jail. That's what you're saying. That's an unlikely place. It's not very unlikely. It's not a prison or find God in prison, or find education in prison. It's very likely. Three years, nearly two and a half years, and I've wasted my whole time there. I've fucked about with Spice. I've just tried to kill my time. Now it's getting to the end of my sentence. I really regret it. With only months left of her sentence, Gemma needs to keep her nose clean. But in prison, keeping away from trouble is easier said than done. Britain's prisons are bursting at the seams, as more of us than ever are residing at Her Majesty's pleasure. 62% of British jails are overcrowded. Bigger numbers means ever greater pressure on the men and women who are responsible for maintaining order inside. Get it off! Get it off! Get it off! I'm sorry, all right? Half of the male staff look like Officer Paul Blart. Y'all know who Paul Blart is. Top-notch mall security. That's Paul Blart, all of them. At Bollingdon, 95 new officers have been recruited in the past year to help ease the strain. But all the landing plane is in one go. Happy days. New Officer John Aldridge needs to be on his toes. He's already been seriously intimidated and is desperate to gain some credibility with the prisoners. Mr Aldridge, hack it, please. Mr Aldridge, please hack it. Oh, Frank! Frank! The informal rules of prison mean officers rely on influential prisoners to help keep order. On Sea Wing, it's down to Anthony Gooch. He's on remand for six months for an armed robbery he says he didn't commit. On Sea Wing, he's trusted by officers. I'm an insider and a violent reduction rep. So where a prisoner might find it a bit difficult to go and talk to an officer about certain problems he's got on the wing, whether he owes money for drugs or there's a bit of a beef from outside that's come into the prison, he can come to us. So he doesn't think it's a bit of a grasp of going to the officers. He can find it and try and sort it out or sort the solution out without it becoming violent. Supervising officer Mark Walker is particularly concerned by one new prisoner. You hear there's a violence reduction rep. Got an issue with one of the lads that's recently come on. He's quite vulnerable. He's just received a life sentence. He's stating to us that he's under threat on the unit. But you've been on the spell all the time. I need to know whether he's going to be OK. If he is under threat, I need to move him off the unit. Yeah, this is the one that came in for the murder. Yes. Yes, somewhere. Yeah, talk about it. So he's like an informant or what's going on here? I don't think in jail that's like... I don't know what I consider that. Just three days into the job, officer John Aldridge has been given the duty of checking on the high-risk prisoner Walker's worried about. High-risk officer checking on a high-risk prisoner. They both can't be here. He makes a shocking discovery and immediately calls Gooch and fellow officers for assistance. He hung himself. He hung himself. That's it, go on. They ain't coming in, go on. They're not coming in. They're not coming in. The inmate is covered in blood in what appears to be an act of self-harm. Yeah, HR is Code Red. Code Red is coming in. A Code Red is called when blood has been spilled. Let's cut myself up. Oh, I know, I know. I know. I saw him, like, three minutes ago. Yeah. Yeah, I'll get you another cell. What's your name, sir? Now, sit down, girl. Hold up your neck. Get everyone away. It's my story behind your doors, please. While Aldridge clears the wing, Gooch steps in to take charge of the situation. What's going on? They're all here. They're all here. They're all here. That man's in there with PTSD. Something wrong over here. It's not easy. Listen, I promise you. Well, it feels like it's me. Mr Aldridge is one that discovered him. Mr Shea, Mr Robert, yeah. I come up in Danny's check at half past two. And he's on two hourly odds. He pressed his cell bell so I come up and I couldn't see it through the obstacles. I thought he smashed his head open. It was all put pouring down. We've got a vulnerable inmate that's been given a life sentence. Suffering from very severe paranoia. But the paranoia's got so much that he's decided to take a razor and cut his throat all the way around. Where the officers were at the door and they wanted to go in, he's then paranoid the officers are going to hurt him. So I went in on my own and he handed over the knife and we've managed to treat him. And he's gone off. Well, that needs to be downhill of care to get their head in the right place. I've done this in the check. Yeah, I know. It's not you that's done it, was it? You're doing your job, mate. You're alright. Yeah. That new officer's probably never seen anyone cut himself up in the form. It takes a bit of getting used to. You okay? I'm not sure, really, to be honest with you. Yeah, I'm sure. You've got the care to do whatever you need anyway. I'm going to go back and have a chat in a minute. Does he need to go see the prison psychiatrist or something? Like, bro, what are you... You signed up for this. It had to be in a book somewhere that you read or you just had to know that seeing this stuff was a possibility. Are you... Are you flustered or what? An estimated 150 million a year is spent on mental health services remates. But incidents of self-harm and suicide are at a record high. In down view, Jemma James is back in trouble and waiting to see the duty governor. He could read the pet toilet crying. He thought he cared about me and missed that, but he won't be that lenient with me. Jemma was caught trying to climb a prison fence. Now she faces an adjudication, which could add time to her sentence. Jemma, crime, prison wall, it was like... And we adjourned this for you to seek leave of absence, didn't we? Yeah. And did you seek that? No, because that's what happens on Instagram. You sacked yourself. So you won't get to present me. So, this next challenge. Government, Chris James, attempted to climb the fence between the astroturf and the chapel after making threats to climb on a roof. She had to be assisted down and escorted back to the wing. That concludes the evidence. Thank you. Do you agree with that? Yeah. So where did you think he was going to end up? Down the same. No, no, no. When you're climbing the fence. Well, no, no, really. I was just frustrated and angry, and I wasn't thinking. And I was being impulsive. How does that not happen again? I can't guarantee that nothing will happen again, but I'm hoping that I'll pass that stage now. And when I've realised that everyone still supports me, no matter what I do, I don't want to let my... She's very manipulative. I'm telling what they want to hear. In light of what you've said, Gemma, and obviously, you know, the evidence that presented to me and the things that have been mentioned before, it's inevitable that... Answer the phone. ...this chance of preview. OK. Can I have the conduct report please? She can be very polite in front of the regime, and on the other hand, she can be rude and disobey the prison regime. Miss James is a manipulative person and was manipulating staff in the past to gain certain things like emergency vapes to be allowed to get her TV back. Recent days, I've seen Miss James under the influence of the substance on many occasions and also causing problems like jumping through the window. Look at me. She is shocked by her own behaviour. Like, I did that? A TV? I so did get that TV back by doing that thing. You're a duplication report, and your conduct reports. There's been more downs and ups. So you're sitting at the moment, then, 14 days stoppage you earned at 80%, and 14 days of a second hand take. And that's it. Thank you. All right. Because you know that was known to have about 15 years, so I'm thankful. It's been a while, hasn't it? Thank you. I've known Gemma an awful long time, and it's very easy to get depressed ourselves when you see people coming back and not seeing when you change them. But actually, she struggled sometimes to see the good in herself, and it's plenty there. She's got lots to get. So yeah, fingers crossed. Getting to get because I've got a lot of us counting for two weeks. Gemma got lots of counting on her dedication, which means that she can't order any vapes, she can't order any phone credits, she can't order chocolate, she can't order anything like that. She'll probably start playing about and trying to get any way she can get anything. Thank you for all your help. Don't mess it up. Thank you. In Bullingdon, rookie officer John Aldridge has also been called to a meeting with the governor. Is it John? He's got himself hurt, his colleagues hurt, and some prisoners. Yeah, nice to see you. You all right? Yeah, I just want to catch up with you about that if I can. A third of prison officers quit within a year of starting the job. Yeah, good things. So governor Ian Blakeman is keen to check on John after he witnessed a case of self-harm two days ago. Obviously, massively traumatic event you had the day before yesterday. So it's shaking you up a bit. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it didn't sleep at all on Wednesday night. No, self-harm with that magnitude isn't that common, I think that's fair to say, isn't it? It was pretty traumatic. I'm sorry you went through that early on, but... I guess in hindsight, another six months, it'll probably be quite a character, wouldn't it? You've got a lot of experience into your first week, so... Yeah. It's not bad about that, man, but I got to sit back. If I don't sit back like this, then you won't see it, but it's only a little bit, man. Pretty traumatic for anyone to deal with, but particularly difficult, I think, for someone who's just come into the job. That could be a defining moment for him. I just want to see how he was, but clearly shaken up as soon as we're doing OK. I'd advise you go and do some work before you all get the habea wardings. I think the job as a whole is, yes, what you expect it to be. Sometimes you don't expect to open the door and find blood gushing out at someone's neck. Officers are quitting the service every month, and staff are increasingly forced to deal with extreme situations. Well, you've blown that, Gemma, and this one, you did the habea. So we've also got men that you've been dealing with, but what they're saying is it's not genuine. Just one week on from her adjudication, Gemma resorted to violence after losing her vapes. She smashed her cell window in frustration, and staff were forced to take action. From what I can gather, she's been asking for vapes because they didn't turn up in her canteen. She's quite rude to staff. She started to rip up the mattress, so we had to take that out, and she just screamed it. Those have a lot of addicting qualities. So if you take something cold turkey from somebody that they're addicted to, of course, they're going to go crazy, because they're addicted to it. That wasn't the greatest move. As we get out, and as we left, she started to take her clothes off, and to tie a leg of ligature up at the bars. And it's not good for me. We can't give up on her, really, because if we give up, then she's going to give up. She just needs to see that people actually care, and having that person there to consistently keep on top of her, I think is what she needs, and she'll eventually take it on herself. On average, 230 prisoners are in transit around the prisoner's state. Good luck to you, mate. They're either released, transferred between jails, and some relocated within the same prison. This churn can drastically affect the delicate stability of a wing. Check out Smith, then, in 230. OK? That's the last time I tell you. 302, yeah. It's faster, isn't it? We just fucking got here. That's the safe place. What are you coming in the artist for? On Seawing, one influential prisoner is on the move. Anthony Gooch has spent over five months on remand for armed robbery. Now, all the charges against him have been dropped, and he's a free man. Rosie, keep the chin up. Go on, mate. Did I get some type of compensation when that happened? I told y'all it wasn't me, but I was still locked up. Or he couldn't not make bail, and that's why he was in there? I know here in America, it's guilty until proven innocent, until proven guilty, and sometimes you just can't make bail and you sit there in a system like that. Gooch was an insider of violence reduction rep. For me, Gooch leaving that particular spur is going to cause a few issues because they had it nice and settled. We don't advocate self-policing, but it remained quiet. In a selfish way, I'm a bit peed off because I've now got to start again and find out who's going to be top dog, as they say. Somebody... Get in. Somebody else is obviously going to be trying to take over their spot. So there will be a power struggle for the next week or so. As Gooch leaves Bullingdon, a veteran of the prison system is settling into Sea Wing. Aaron DeSantos is inside for robbery and violence. He's been relocated from another part of the jail. What are you doing over here, DeSantos? I was speaking to my friend, but I haven't seen him in a long time. OK, can you relocate back on spur three please? Thank you very much. All right, that's all. Just watch DeSantos and Cato Guy. I understand that, would you mean? Yeah, yeah. And just watch him. The spur has felt a little bit uneasy since he's arrived on the spur. It was quite calm, ready to ring before, but it's now a little bit... up and down. Give me a minute. I'm trying to meet Sean. My mum's got a bit of money there. My mum broke, broke, broke, fuck all. So I started stealing, I started... Like, as you... I thought, what? If I like it, why don't I just take it? Then it just started from there. It's like running up in bandos. DeSantos has been moved onto the wing after... Causing trouble elsewhere in the prison. Staff want to keep a close eye on him in the hope that they can prevent further disruption. Miss Robbins, I believe you're going to IR the conversation that you overheard regarding DeSantos. You're not allowed to jump from there. Is it the basic version? He's come back from free-flow DeSantos. He's heard that beef's going to go down. I don't know who it was between. That was all I heard, really, so maybe just keeping on. OK. If he goes off the unit, there are other prisoners within this establishment that intend to harm him. Now, that's who you miss the fucking spot. Now, that's who a child is for cubs, really. Come on, kid. It's not a proper prison. It's like a training camp for officers. It's not running like a proper job. I've been doing this shit for years. I've done that 23 Joe's, so this ain't nothing. Do you have a lot of mates over here? Yeah, but mates all over the Joe. Got a lot of people that want to kill me as well. What? Life with you? No, it's not. Gemma Janes has now been in the segregation unit at Downview for a week after smashing her so window. She's not allowed visitors or interaction with other prisoners, though she is a loud post. This is my favourite one, because I never had one from funkypigeon.com. Rude at all. So it says, two Gemma, happy birthday, thinking of you on your special day. You're a pain in the ass, but I will, I'll always love you, sis. Hope you are well and staying positive. Hope you have a lovely day. Love, always, amen. Loads of kisses. Another year older, and having had time to reflect, Gemma's come to realisation. This is going to be interesting, because at this point I don't believe any of Gemma's realisations. I don't think she's really realising these things. I just think she'd be preaching to the choir now. No. Come to realisation. I cannot read the system. It was double trouble, wasn't it yesterday? The ball's in your court, really. I know, but the last 24 hours, we've been behaving well. Before that, not so good. I'm not you saying you're not going to get what you want, and you haven't been in defeat. Do you remember the story about the two wolves? No. Native American story. Brad went to the chief and he said, there's a battle raging within me. It's tearing me apart. There's one wolf saying, tear, kill, get revenge, hate. Look after each other. I cannot live with this battle within me. Which wolf is going to win? And the chief says it's the wolf you feed. Be the Gemma. I'm part of the devil and the angel on your shoulder. Sounds the same. Same type of analogy there. We've seen before, because we've seen the good and the bad in you. I'm very grateful. Thank you for having me. Like many persistent offender... What? Thank you for having me. See all that stuff right there. Having you in prison? Like many persistent offenders in Britain's jails, Gemma's many problems appear to stem from drug abuse. Introduce me to drugs when I was 14. It's ruined my whole life. But I'm scared that when I get out, where am I going to go? Am I going to end up just going back to what I know? Muslim convert Gemma is planning to observe Ramadan. With her release date looming, she hopes it will inspire her to keep out of trouble. I have to do it for Allah, because everyone loves food. So we fast with our food. No sex. No... Even this look, it tells you what you want to do. You want to do it for Allah, because everyone loves food. So we fast with our food. No sex. No... Even this look, it tells you what you want to do for fasting, what you're not allowed to do. And it actually says on here, it says, no eating, drinking, swallowing, masturbation with ejaculation, smoking, swallowing water when gargling, vomit, taking medication, or blood, or drugs. So I can put water in my mouth and spit it out, because I know my lips are going to be very dry. I think I've become a better person when I'm being a Muslim and I'm trying to be sincere in my heart. I didn't know you couldn't swallow water when they do that. I feel something different, and I feel very uplifted. Doesn't it run a downturn as well? Yeah. You're going to stop vaping? I have to. I've got no choice, but I'm going to struggle. I have to, because I want to do it from my heart, and I'm going to be forgiven for everything that I've done. Gemma has got a lot more positive attitude behind her at the moment. I don't know what's happened. I don't know how to behave myself and stay off the spice. She's getting out of debt, and hopefully this will last a bit longer than last time. When did this come out? 2024? I'm trying to do a little bit of research, trying to figure out where I'm going. I feel like I'm having a constant battle with myself in my head every day, all the time, because I don't want to be like this anymore. I don't want to do the things that I do. I'm tired, I'm bored, I'm sick of it. The only way I can find peace with that is the fact that I'll tell myself that I wasn't born Muslim, I wasn't born out of love. If I was born out of love and marriage and religion, maybe things might have been different. She'll always be Gemma. That's something we can't change. We just got to change her mindset rather than her as a person because she's who she is. She can't change what she's done in the past, but she can change the way things can out for her in the future. I think Gemma has an ability to make something of her life. She's just a person that needs to find herself first. I agree, Gemma's very charismatic, but she needs to focus that energy onto something positive, what she's trying to do. In an ideal world, I wish that in five years I would be five years jug-free and I would definitely hope that I wouldn't be in here in prison. I would rather kill myself than tell it in the truth. In Bullingdon, it's getting dark and I don't have screens. Barqueen, after influential prisoner Anthony Gooch left. I don't have lights, so I got out. Once the light goes out from outside, I can't record. The mood on the wing has changed dramatically, especially since the arrival of new inmate Aaron DeSantis. You get tough with this, so when you get out you go with this energy, so you've got to do something with it. What are you doing out here anyway, guys? What the hell do you want? See me, Mark Walker. Yes, not good, but go on. As prisoners jockey for position, disorder is spreading across the wing. You'll have one thing, and it's like everything, and they just jump on the back wagon. This was recovered by the phone boxes. It's solid metal. It's come from one of the prisoners chairs. If you get that right round your head or even round your body, you'll do some serious damage. This is escalating, and there's now a serious threat of anarchy on scene. I'm trying this one. I'm taking it to the segment. In Bullingdon prison, officers are now battling to... I'm taking it to the segment. In Bullingdon... Officers are now battling to keep control of Seawing. Before anybody leaves this unit prisoner-wise, they will be completely rubbed down, searched, and they will be wandered. The information we've received is something is going to happen. OK, keep an eye on me. Ah! Oh, fuck me! You've been given a stroke syndrome. Goodbye. There we go. In just over a week, there have been multiple assaults. Once so serious, the police have been called in. Let's go to the last chance. We'll do it, mate. Governor, Ian Blakeman calls a meeting of staff to review CCTV footage of a particularly serious in-cell assault. Obviously, if people are aware, we've found a number of sorts of the last couple of waits in cell. He needs to identify culprits and interrogate how they did it. The bit we really want to take from this is just how sophisticated the distraction attempts are. So, one of the ones involved in the first assault of Vincent is having a good old chat with Officer Robbins. And so, he acts at work, because he then puts his hand over his mouth, and she's had to really constrain what he's saying. Eventually, as they come down to the cell, you'll see he speeds up and actually stands in her view in front of that cell. And then they go in and warn the others and then they quickly disperse. There's something really serious behind this. And we need to stamp it out. The crackdown begins. Officers have been told to target the suspected ringleaders. We received information that five prisoners were involved. Are we going to do this sensibly? Yeah. Put your hands up to your chest for me, please. There we go. So, they've been relocated on their cells down to the SSU pending an investigation. C-Wing is currently locked down. In all, 13 prisoners end up in the segregation unit. Lovely. Thank you, everyone. Among them is Aaron DeSantis, who's been linked to one of the most serious assaults. Obviously, I'm worried about nine months left. If this... If somehow by some bullshit they manage to say I'm involved, I'm fucked. And what about the other guys? Do you know the other guys that are involved? Yeah, I know everyone involved. I live with the people that are involved, like, but allegedly involved. He's quite busy and noisy down here, isn't he? Judy Govner, Torina Greenslade, has come to the segregation unit to update all the prisoners on the investigation. How are you? Why are you down here? Fuck off. Have a try. Why do you think you're down here? It's not fair. I haven't done fucking wrong. And I'm not saying you have. But it's subject to police investigations that wouldn't be appropriate for you to tell me about it. You need to tell them about it when they come back and speak to those that are suspected of being involved. So I have to stay down here till Monday? Yes. Mrs. Santos, how are you? I could be better. Can I get any better for you? Yes, until Monday at the earliest. All right? Potentially, yes. Look, I understand that. I'm happy about that. You know me, I'm used to it. Fucking me! Can we get a shield and make sure he's okay, but you must have a shield there because the ops panel has come through, please. Thank you, Nigel. I'll get the gate. I thought he put the ops panel on. Priority now for stuff is to relocate those believed to be responsible for the attack. Those that were involved, they're trying to arrange transfers to other establishments around the country. Mr. Santos left the units. He has been security-moved away from Bullingdon to another establishment out of area. With his history of assaults and violence, a lot of establishments will not take him, but he will not be returning to this prison. As does Santos. Officers regain control of Sea Wing, but it's not the only change on the wing. Yeah! Don't call me a dickhead again. I've got a good relationship with quite a lot of prisoners on this wing, and it'll be very sad because you know... I can pretty much infer what's going on with him. He's out of there. He is done for. Done some quit. He's going to go work at the nearest Aldi. No cap. If I can't hear it, there's no more point to it. We'll be back on the next episode, next week episode. We already know you quit, you're soft.
