This film follows a group of newly recruited prison officers through training at the country's most controversial jail: HMP Belmarsh in South East London; the first time that cameras have been allowed such close access to the officers.

It reveals a set of new recruits who are fast-tracked into position, in order to fulfill the Prison Service's equal opportunities policy. There is a Moroccan bus driver, a 47 year old Hindu civil servant, a young Jamaican single mother and a 21 year old bachelor embarking on his first job among the group of eight starting their difficult and strenuous training programme.

Trained by uncompromising and outspoken tutors Rob Joseph & Gill Lewis, they make it clear that not everyone should have made the grade in a memorable epilogue.
