In 2008 Channel Five staged a unique social experiment that had the whole country talking. Fronted by the former Home Secretary the Rt. Hon David Blunkett, Banged Up addressed one of the key issues facing Britain today, just what exactly should we do with teenagers that are out of control?

The show, tackled head-on the sensitive issue of juvenile offending and rehabilitation.

Scarborough Prison had been empty for over 100 years but for 10 days in the Spring of 2008 it reopened its cell doors. Ten teenage boys, aged 16-17, on their way to a life of crime came face to face with ten reformed, hardened criminals who gave them an in-your-face, no-holds-barred account of life inside.
