Synopsis:

The largest women’s prison in Britain has a little oasis: its own beauty salon. The ladies of Holloway Prison come to Brenda’s salon to have their hair and nails done, as well as to catch up on the gossip. Some are learning a trade so they won’t re-offend; others come for Brenda’s kindly advice. Brenda enjoys the work, despite all the nail polish that goes missing. A charming glimpse of a very different side of prison life.

Part of the Reel London strand, produced for ITV London by DFG Films in association with Film London.
