Now i live in Aylesbury and last night i can guarantee that my whole town was watching this programme. i am pretty sure that my friends an i are the only people who wasn't watching it however... we were watching Madagascar instead.

this link shows the trailer for the programme. it makes me laugh they've made it sound terrible, but most of the people i went to school with live next to the place and i used to drive past it everyday for work. the weird thing is though is that until now no one in Aylesbury actually knows what goes on in there or what its actually like.
The series has been described as this-
Aylesbury Prison in Buckinghamshire, home to some of the most dangerous young criminals in Britain, has allowed an exclusive insight into life for prisoners and staff for a new documentary series on ITV- Her Majesty’s Prison: Aylesbury
Murderers, rapists, gangsters and paedophiles are serving time here. So serious are some of their offences, that one in five is serving life or an indeterminate sentence to protect the public. What’s frightening is that the oldest prisoners are just 21.
Officers engage in a daily battle of wits, to ensure they keep control. They must also try to help rebuild the fractured lives of these young men.
It sounds terrifying. safe to say. we all walk past the place everyday and dont know. though as long as they stay behind the walls then that's fine. its also mad to think that the oldest person in there is the same age as me. i have finished school, got my a levels, been to college and now i'm half way through my degree, i have 4 jobs and have a future ahead of me. the guys in there haven't done any of that. its such a waste of a life. they have completely ruined their lives and because they are so young will never have a very bright future. its so stupid. Because its their own fault that they are in there.
previously i have thought about doing a photo story about this prison but i really dont think it would be worth giving these boys the time of day. they seem so dangerous and frightening. that not only would access be impossible but i wouldn't even want to go near it.
I am watching it on catch up now and before i even began watching the description made me worried.
and now its just said that Aylesbury has always had a fearsome reputation among the prison population. it is meant to be the worst establishment.
theres gang problems?!
oh my word.
heres the link. if anyone didn't watch it. they should.
