Thought the new Jimmy McGovern prison drama with Stephen Graham and Major Sharpe was very good.

If I was being critical, I’d say McGovern plays the moral dilemma/family-man-forced-to-do-something-bad is becoming an overplayed theme. But also - if it aint broke...

'Time', BBC 3 parter. I thought good too. Terrifying portrayal of life in a British prison, but clichéd or accurate? Assume the later but I have no idea.

A Bit of a Stretch by Chris Atkins is well worth a read.

Drug use and bullying are pretty rife. I’ve had dealings with both prisoners and officers through work and spice use is an epidemic.
