Does prison work? As a documentary, yes
Tuesday, 11 May 2010

'It’s a thankless task cuffing and lugging miscreants from cell to cell'
Last night in Wormwood Scrubs a prisoner hanged himself. Successfully. A doctor confirmed “that life is now non-existent”. Later on the same wing it happened again, only this time the suicide attempt didn't come off. For many years it has felt as if the great tradition of television documentary is now non-existent. Programmes like this give you hope that, like that second man on a wire in D Wing, it might just pull through.
