criminal justice on the beeb? horribly compelling television. if the prison system is anything like its being depicted its a national scandal. he's only on remand..he hasn't been convicted of anything and he's being subjected to systematic abuse.

I watched Monday night's episode with a trainee solicitor whose dad is also a solicitor and who knows a lot of people in the police force.

She snorted and laughed all the way through it. It's compelling because if it were even remotely accurate, it would be very boring.

mmm it had the air of cop drama in episode 1, but the prison scenes in 2 chimed with former prisoners i've listened to. i suspect its a lot of 'real life' condensed into 5 hours. good though
