History's Hardest Prisons: Debt and Damnation

The daily life of the prison communities: backbreaking labour, brutality and abuse, relentless routines, gang warfare, and the constant struggle for survival. It will cast a new light on our contemporary system of imprisonment whilst revealing our changing attitudes to crime over the ages. In a time of credit crunch and economic crisis, Piers eye-opening exploration of debt will show how 300 years ago punishments did not necessarily fit the crime.

Director: David Wilson

Cast: Martin Hancock, Jonathan Hansler
