Life Inside Britain's Toughest Prison (Belmarsh Documentary) | Absolute Crime

Belmarsh in South East London is known as Britain’s ‘Guantanamo Bay’ or ‘Hellmarsh’. Belmarsh is Britain's toughest jail and this is the first time Belmarsh’s governors have allowed cameras to follow their officers in training and at work. With the highest prison population in Western Europe, Britain’s prisons are reaching bursting point. Prison services can't hire people quick enough and have lowered the entry requirements cutting all comers to get more officers enrolled.
