Product Description
Oscar nominee Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs, Tumbleweeds) stars as Helen Hewitt, the youngest woman ever to be placed in charge of a maximum-security men's prison, in this hard-hitting drama series written and produced by the multi-award-winning Lynda La Plante (Prime Suspect, Widows).
Series two continues to trace Helen's progress following her high-profile and controversial appointment as governor of Barfield Prison a troubled institution which has been partially rebuilt following recent rioting. The situation within the prison remains highly volatile; this series sees Helen negotiating in a traumatic hostage crisis, while among Barfield's 700 inmates is new arrival Tarzan' one of Britain's most dangerous men. And Helen is to face her toughest challenge when the staging of the prisoners' musical provides the perfect cover for a breakout by some of Barfield's most violent top-security inmates...

a realistic description of prison life, both inmates and screws' with a scathing criticism of the clueless and incomptetent hierarchy
more interested in their political careers than the idea of rehabilitation (fine but not as good as the BAD GIRLS series , by a long shot. And the sound track is not very good...)

The continuation of Lynda La Plante's prison drama starring Janet McTeer who is well cast as the governor of Barfield prison. If you watched the first series, this one won't disappoint!
