-BANGING -Officer! | 0:00:05 | 0:00:10 | |
British jails are filling fast. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
HAMMERING AND SHOUTING | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
More than half of adult prisoners will reoffend. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
INDISTINCT SHOUTING | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
Stopping criminals from coming back is more crucial than ever. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
But one extraordinary restaurant in the middle of a prison | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
led by an inspired chef believes it can change criminals for good. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:42 | |
Rehabilitation, to me, is if a prisoner comes in here | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
with no hope and goes out with hope. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Oi, oi! | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
-High Down, Butlins. -I've already booked up for next year! | 0:00:59 | 0:01:05 | |
High Down Prison in Surrey is home to 1,100 criminals. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
It has one of the highest reoffending rates in the UK. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
Fucking welcome to my cell! | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
70% of people discharged from High Down | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
will reoffend within a year of being released from here. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
Since 1993, prison numbers have nearly doubled to 85,500. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:35 | |
Once someone's come to prison, there's nowhere to send them, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
so society might give up on people | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
and might want some respite from people and often with good reason. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
But you can't afford to give up on people. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Like all jails in the UK, prisoners here can get paid jobs | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
and learn skills to help steer them away from crime. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
But High Down is known for a unique rehabilitation revolution. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:11 | |
A restaurant almost entirely run by criminals. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
Let's go, one mutton, one ravioli, one beef and put it on here. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
One sea bass. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
One spinach and cheese omelette! | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Give me the potatoes for the bloody mutton, please! | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
It's the brainchild of professional chef and prison kitchen manager, Al Crisci. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:41 | |
Yeah, it's a real restaurant. These are paying customers so they expect a service. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
The Clink is bang smack in the middle of the prison and there's always a security risk. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:52 | |
If there's any violence, the prison will shut the restaurant down. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:58 | |
In the Clink it's my way or no way. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
If I speak, you stop and you listen to me, yeah? Go! | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
It's a dictatorship so I'm the dictator, they have to do what I say. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
You know, it's gotta be like that. I've got 18 prisoners in here. I can't have anarchy. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
I'm allowed to work with knives, other tools. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Whatever tools we need, basically, to do our job. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
I'm in prison for a stabbing. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
The restaurant is funded by the Clink Charity and a discerning clientele. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:30 | |
We have MPs, we have Lords and Ladies, we have some celebs, we have all sorts. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:38 | |
In its first 18 months the restaurant has released | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
13 fully-trained chefs and waiters from prison with a catering job. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
-So this is Jason. -Jason. -What cake did you make today? What is it? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
This is a coffee and walnut. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
So he made a coffee and walnut today. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
-All right? -All right. -From scratch. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
From scratch. Ha-ha! | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
When I came here I couldn't make it. But now... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
I'm very professional now. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
Oh, a professional now?! > | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
He's a professional now. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
I'll tell you when you're a professional. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
In a nutshell, the idea of The Clink is a prisoner comes in | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
and a very well trained chef leaves us with a job. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
And society's better off. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
It's the last week in November. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Just as the Christmas rush is about to start, Al has caught two prisoners stealing food. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
I've sacked two prisoners from The Clink, | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
I'm just about to go and tell another one he's being transferred, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
which is a shame, but the prison doesn't revolve around The Clink, | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
The Clink has to revolve around the workings and the runnings of prison. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:54 | |
So we just have to deal with it and I'll recruit some more. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
The first place he looks for a new chef is in the main prison kitchen. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
28 prisoners make 3,000 meals here each day and earn £14.20 a week. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:12 | |
Hold tight. Welcome to Hell's Kitchen, you get me? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
This is Hell's Kitchen right now. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
19 year-old Dominic Fritz Campbell is a street robber. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
He's hoping to become a professional chef. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
Right now, I'm trying to make it over to The Clink, because it's a good place, you get me? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:34 | |
You learn how to cook professional, quality food. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
That's what I want to cook. Hopefully, I will come out... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
..a deformed character. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
That's what I want to be, a deformed character. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
Dominic. Yeah. AKA Phat Pantz. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:54 | |
-Dominic! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
Al's had his eye on Dominic since he started in the prison kitchen two months ago. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
He wants to get out of prison with qualifications. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
Soon I 'm hoping to get him into The Clink so he can take it to another level. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
In The Clink we do things like fresh crab, fresh lobster. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
It's a bit different to what he's doing now. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
This is what we cook in The Clink. Do you know what it is? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
Yeah, cra... Eurgh! | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-Hold the shell here. -Bruv, the mouth's moving! | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
If it moves its claw, don't worry, it can't get you. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
What do you mean it can't get me? | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
Well, it can't move its claws backwards. It's fine. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
He's more scared than you, isn't he? | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
He's gonna end up in the cooking pot. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
Dominic is awaiting trial for two robberies. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
Most of the money he's made in life has come from crime. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
With crime you go out there now and rob someone and that's money in your pocket. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
I enjoy doing it. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
You know like that? Like, I get excited, "Yes, let's go, we're getting money. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:55 | |
But I'd give it up if I've got a legit job, I'd give it up. | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
If I come out and get that nice job. You see? It's a fresh start. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
But turning your life around in prison can be tough. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
Coming in here just educates you in crime. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
You come in here a shoplifter you'll come out a robber. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
People need to get educated in good ways. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
They spend 40 grand a year on us to be in here. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
I mean, you could be spending 40 grand a year on keeping us in college. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
I just got too old for it. Now I started getting grey hairs and that, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
I have to settle down and kick back, get myself a girlfriend and behave. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
Or try. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:32 | |
Hey, come here, man! | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Levan Page is 21. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
He, too, wants to work in The Clink. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
This is his 15th time in prison. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
"Dear Mummy, hi, how are things at home? | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
"First, I'd like to say how sorry I am for fucking up again. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
"I know how upsetting it is for you, as it is for me. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
"I'll try so hard to do better this time round. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
"I will be out soon and when I am | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
"I promise to be a better son, brother and man of the house. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
"I'm going to go now. Time for dinner. Love you loads. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
"I miss you much, Levan." | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
I mean, you're never too old to say "Mummy", are you, really? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
Well, I guess you are but you have to be sort of brave | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
and just not have a care in the world. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
The last time Levan got drunk he attacked and robbed a man. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
He's waiting for the court case to start. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
I'll get out of this. I want this to be the last, | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
because I can't keep doing this at 21. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
BANGING | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
I want to say one thing. I love my Mum and I miss you! | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
No, this table... | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
Today, Al's interviewing for the three job vacancies. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
Dominic and Levan hope to get work that pays £14.70 a week, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
50p more than in the main kitchen. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Yeah, I am a bit nervous. A bit sweaty, right now. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
It's a kind of new thing this, you know? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
Also here for a job as a chef is 24-year-old Robbie Lister. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
It's his first time in prison. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
I was caught with an ounce of cocaine then three ounces of skunk, | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
of cannabis. It was hard enough for me to try and get a job | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
when I was out anyway, cos I didn't have any qualifications. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
But now I've got a criminal record it's gonna be even more harder. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
Have a seat, Robbie. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |
Sit down, Levan. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Right, you want to work in The Clink? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-Yes, please. -Why do you want to work in The Clink? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
Um, I heard it's quite a good job to have here. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
Right. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
Why do you want to work in The Clink? | 0:10:05 | 0:10:06 | |
I'd like to get some restaurant experience and maybe some qualifications | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-so I can get a job working in a restaurant on the out. -OK. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-You'll be working in a team, so everybody works together, yeah? -Sure. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
-You're all prisoners, but when you're in here, you're a waiter. -OK. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
-It's zero tolerance, do you know what that means? -Yeah. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
That means what I say goes, end of story. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
Are you nervous? | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
Yeah, a little bit. But who isn't on their first day? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-14 quid a week. -That's good. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
Not bad, is it? Ha-ha-ha! All right? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
-All right? Cheers, I'll see you on Monday. -See you then. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
Levan and Robbie have both got a job that could change their lives. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
One vacancy remains in Al's restaurant. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
I've never been for an interview... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
so I don't know what a job interview's really like. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
You all right? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:05 | |
Have a seat, Dominic, come in. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
-You all right? -Yeah. -A bit nervous? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-You're not scared of Al, are you? -Nah. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
Why do you want to work in The Clink? | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
I would like to become a professional chef. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-How long have you wanted to do that for? -All my life. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
-Really? -Yeah. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
-I enjoy cooking. -Do you think you're good at cooking? -Yeah. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
OK, listen to what I'm going to tell you. If you do what I say and you behave yourself, we'll train you, OK? | 0:11:25 | 0:11:32 | |
Then we'll help you get a job. What would you do when you're released? You've got somewhere to go, a job, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
someone to go and live with, what have you got? | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
Social Services will get me somewhere to live but I don't know about a job. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-What about family? -Nah, I don't live with my family. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
So you've no family, nowhere to live and no qualifications? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
OK. So how would you feel if I got you some qualifications, you'd have to get them yourself, | 0:11:50 | 0:11:56 | |
we helped you get a job, we helped you get somewhere to live? | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
That would be good. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
Thank you very much, yeah? | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
-Pull your trousers up! -They're up. -Good. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
Levan and Robbie start in the restaurant on Monday. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
Dominic will start the week after. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
For Al, Dominic poses the greatest challenge when it comes to rehabilitation. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
My biggest worry about him is his immaturity and his behaviour, | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
which sometimes gets a little bit out of hand. He gets a bit excited. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
I don't think it's bad, | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
it's just he needs to know how to control himself | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
and act, you know, like an adult. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
Dominic spent most of his childhood moving from care home to care home. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
What does "mum" mean to you, the word "mum"? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
Oh, man, bruv, that is just, to me, that is some bullshit, bruv. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
And that's real, innit? Yeah, real talk, bruv, that's some bullshit, bruv? | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
I met kids in care with mums and shit, do you get me? | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
Man had no-one, bruv, no-one. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
Always getting me the ugly shoes and I'd go to school and everyone's | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
laughing at man, "Look at their shoes" and that. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
It's called bullying, innit? Everyone's laughing at you. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
You're embarrassed, young, thinking, "Why is everyone laughing at me?" Cos of my shoes. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
Everyone's got decent shoes and you're the only one wearing these big bricks on your foot and that. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
No, bruv, it had to change, do you get me? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
I had to rob, steal and shit. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
Beg, borrow, steal. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
If he doesn't change now, Dominic could face a life in prison. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
I've grown up the majority of my adult life in jail now. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
My coping mechanisms are only built for prison. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
So, I was kind of struggling out there. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
So I thought life is just easier in jail, | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
rather than out there. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
BANGING | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
Shut up! | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
It's Monday morning at High Down. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
Levan is getting ready for his first day as a waiter. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
In the previous times on being released out of prison, | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
sometimes they sort of just kick you out, "Here's £46, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
"now you've got to fend for yourself." | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
But to have someone like Alberto here to say that he can help me | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
get a job on release, that is a really big help. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
Levan will only get a job outside prison if he lasts in the restaurant. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
And Al's sacked seven people in the last month. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
In here it's a very, very strict environment. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
They get one chance and if they blow it, they're out. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
It's also Robbie's first day. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
All right? Let's go. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:56 | |
He's never worked in a high-class restaurant. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
You're going be working with Claude. One minute, please. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
You do get nervous, you know what I mean? | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
I start messing things up when I'm nervous. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
Like, I stutter a little bit sometimes, you know what I mean? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
I forget things quickly when I'm nervous. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
-How do you feel, all right? -I feel all right. -Yeah? Go on, then. -You look nervous. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
-A little bit. -It'll be all right. He's new, all right? -OK. -Thank you. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
Robbie, yeah? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
What qualifications do you get from smoking a spliff? | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
It just fucks your head up, you know what I mean? | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
I've learnt from my mistakes, I ain't gonna make the same mistakes when I get out. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
-Do you know what I mean? -Everyone says that! -I'm not everyone. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:40 | |
Today is one of the biggest days of the year. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
The restaurant's hosting a charity fundraiser and expects 80 guests. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
Levan's started today. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
He's basically been put straight in at the deep end. We're full up. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
He's never worked in here before. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
But, you know, he's going to have to learn quick. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
Mushrooms en croute, all right? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:03 | |
Wild mushrooms en croute is the first course. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
Main course is guinea fowl, it's the leg and the breast. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
And that's served with red cabbage and fondant potatoes for everyone. OK? | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
Very nervous. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Hopefully it'll be easy. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
No alcohol in The Clink, so we've got non-alcoholic champagne. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:32 | |
We're making non-alcoholic Bucks Fizz with a twist. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
If you don't tell them, they think they're getting pissed anyway. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
Seriously, it's psychological. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
-Here you are, ladies. -Thank you very much. -Thank you very much. That's pretty. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-Ladies? -My yoga class... -Oh, thank you very much. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
That looks very glamorous, thank you. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
-Miss? -Thank you very much. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
INDISTINCT CONVERSATION | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
I've not seen a lot of women like this in one room | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
for...a few months now. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
None really my age though, so I don't think I stand a chance. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
-HE LAUGHS -Um, I've got to get... Thank you. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
Have you got any clean glasses? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-Enjoy, Miss. -Lovely, thank you. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
That's delicious, mm! | 0:17:28 | 0:17:29 | |
I saw you were getting stuck in. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:33 | |
You weren't shy, you're working hard. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
-I think you've done really well. -Thank you. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
-I think you're going to turn out one of my best waiters if you carry on like this. -I hope so. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
-You will do. -Thank you, Alberto. -Good man. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
All right, guv? | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
I think I can do it out there. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
I mean, Alberto said today that I did really good. You know? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
I could be a top waiter. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
But I enjoyed today, it was great. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
I can't wait for tomorrow. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
The restaurant can be a release from a life spent behind bars. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:12 | |
For those with little to look forward to, prison can become too much. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
SIRENS BLARE | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
Elevate his arm a bit. What did you cut your arm with? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
-You got a blade in here, mate? -He probably has got a blade. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
The prisoner used a blade to self-harm. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
Prison turns you into a madman, bruv. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
Look what I did to my knuckle, innit? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:39 | |
That's what prison does to you, bruv. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
Look at my hand, yeah? Look at that. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
Look at that and look at this, bruv. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
BANG! | 0:18:45 | 0:18:46 | |
That's what jail does to you, bruv. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
Robbie's back in the restaurant for his second day. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
-Robbie, one prawn! -Yeah, it's up there already, Chef. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Two beetroot! Three soup away! | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
But Levan hasn't been called to work. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
He's under investigation for hacking into the till system. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
He's suspended until Al discovers exactly what happened. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
-All right. You ready? -Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Let's go. -So long. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
For Dominic, today's the chance he's been waiting for. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
The reports I've had of him is that he's going to be hard to deal with, hard to control. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
Um, but there are lots of people that I've worked with that I've heard that about. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
Let's see, let's see. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
If Dominic can last four months in the restaurant he'll get his NVQ - | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
or National Vocational Qualification - in cooking. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
To keep his job, though, he has to impress the boss. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
Stress! | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
OK. Watch him, yeah? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
-OK. What are they called? -Trifles. -OK. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-What are these called? -Berries, raspberries. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
You passed the first test. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
He must prepare 50 trifles before guests arrive in an hour and a half. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
-Don't let me down, yeah? You going to finish all these? -Yeah. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
Getting the qualification, it means a lot, innit? | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
I can get a job with that and stuff, you get me? | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
And not just waste my time in here and just come out and be like everyone else, innit? | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
Try and do something different from everyone else. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-It's getting better though, innit? The line, innit? -Yeah. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
Dominic, that's it. Good. Stop admiring them. You need to do all these, mate. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
We're going to be full up in a minute. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Rude boy, there's no laughs in here, boy. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
There's pressure. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
Stress. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
He hasn't done anything wrong. He's listened. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
I don't know, I can't expect more than that today. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
But it's not over yet, he might still screw it up. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
It's the end of the shift. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
Having missed lunch, Dominic helps himself to food reserved for guests. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
Beef, cheese and prawn panini. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Taking anything from here without Al's permission is a sackable offence. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
And Dominic knows it. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
Where is he? | 0:21:19 | 0:21:20 | |
Where's the Fanta? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
If you had a drink, it'll be on camera. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
Rewind that, then. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
-What are you eating? -A cheese and beef panini. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
Who gave you that? | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
I asked chef man in there, he wears the same coat as you. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
OK. Let me check. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
-Did you say he could have a sandwich? -Yeah. -Cos he didn't eat, did he? -No, he didn't eat. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
-OK. -Yeah? -Just checking, all right. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Not everyone does. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
Right, let's clear up, boys, and we're done, yeah? | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
Smoking in the changing room is also a sackable offence. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
-Dominic, what are you doing? -Just grabbing my-my trainers and my folders, | 0:22:10 | 0:22:15 | |
so when I come back, I'm leaving from there, innit? | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
-Good man. I thought you were having a sneaky cigarette. -No! | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-You wouldn't do that to me, would you? -No, Alberto, never! | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
Got to watch him like a hawk. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
'If he fails, I'll see it as a failure now, a personal failure.' | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
Yeah. I mean, he's a livewire, but he can be tamed, in my opinion. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
Check the hat out! | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
It's a week since Levan started in the Clink. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
He's been under investigation for hacking into the till system and Al's finally found some evidence. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:50 | |
OK. Levan decided that it would be fun to write, | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
and I quote, | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
"Marcus you muppet I'm going to fuck you up" | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
on the till receipts. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
If he's playing around with the tills, what else is he doing? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
I need to be able to trust them 100% and I need to maintain control. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:12 | |
We'll just have to see what he says now. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
Hopefully it's good news, saying that I can get the job back. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
-Well, let me tell you, you've been sacked. OK? -Yeah. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
You know, that might seem funny to you. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
But to me that's, like, really childish behaviour. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:42 | |
Yeah? And what if the customer had ended up with the receipt? | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Could have been somebody who's invested in The Clink, given us money. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
They see that, they'll think, "What the hell have I given these people money for?" | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
You know, it's a bit of a joke, do you know what I mean? | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
-Have a good think, because you're going to end up in and out all your flipping life. -I know. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
-Just for silly things. -Is there no way of maybe redeeming myself? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:04 | |
Not in The Clink. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:05 | |
But, yeah, there's plenty of other things going on elsewhere in the prison that will help you. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:12 | |
-All right? -Yeah. -I'll get someone to take you back, yeah? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
Come on then, shall we go? | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
You win some, you lose some. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
This one, I guess I lost. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
You're never going to be a 100% successful. I know that, I'm not stupid. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
There's some prisoners, you can do what you bloody like, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
you know, offer them the world, the best help, the best rehab, everything. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
And they're always going to screw you over and they probably love bloody prison. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
Yeah, I've lost out on a big opportunity working in The Clink | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
and perhaps getting employment at the end. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
I will get out of the prison system. I'm not going to do this forever. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
I do need to change my ways | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
but no-one's going to change but yourself, you know? | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
It's Dominic's second day in the restaurant. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
He arrives for work, but Al wants a word. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
A member of staff saw him steal the Fanta. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
The reason you're here is that I know you took the drink. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
And that's after everything I said to you | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
about "I'm going to give you a chance". | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
How many people have said this to you, "This is your last chance"? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
-Not just me. How many people? -Everyone. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
Why'd you do it, then? You nicked the flipping thing and you lied to my face. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
All right, so, what I'm going to do - | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
I'm suspending you. You've got four days to think, | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
All right? "Do I want to go in The Clink or do I not?" | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
OK? The other thing is, you're going to pay for the bloody drink. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
That's a day's pay for you, £1.80. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
Like normal people - they want something, they pay for it. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
You worked one day for a fucking Fanta. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
Remember that - one day of work for a bloody Fanta. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
Fuck him, bruv. If he don't let me get my job back Monday, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
my kitchen job back, he's a prick. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
Dominic's close to losing his chance of becoming a professional chef. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
I just want my NVQs, bruv, that's all it is. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
That's all I want from this place, bruv. Just some NVQs. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
Just my name on it, my certificate, laminate it, bam! And I'm gone. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
Missing. Fuck the job. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
There's a fight outside Dominic's houseblock. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
Let go of him. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Get your arms out! | 0:27:10 | 0:27:11 | |
HT from Oscar 2. Can you please ask Hotel 2 to attend... | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
Neither of the fighters are Dominic. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Is there stab wounds in my face there? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Who's the chap that is injured? Can we get this chap up? | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
You need to get some medical treatment. What we need you to do is put your hands behind your back. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:30 | |
Keep your hands behind your back all the time. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
-Fucking waste, blood! -Fucking waste man! | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
Open my cell or I'm going to cut your throat. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
Since his sacking, Levan's found another job. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
He now earns £5.44 a week collecting the dirty laundry on houseblock 4. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:55 | |
Life, life after The Clink! | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Life after The Clink! | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
I went and got myself a job doing, er, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
this laundry. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
Not as good as doing The Clink, obviously. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
-Downgrade. -Yeah, this is a big downgrade. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
Downgrade ain't the word, man. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
You just pick up bare shit on that, man. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
-All like people's hairs, everything. -Dirty boxers. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:22 | |
Hey, Gov! | 0:28:22 | 0:28:23 | |
Levan also recently had his trial. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
I got sentenced to four years the other day, | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
so I've got two years out of that, | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
so I've got two years to learn something. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
Shall we put these mattresses in there? | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
Yeah, yeah. It's not good, man. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
I mean, I even sit there and think at night, like, | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
"What have I really done in my life so far?" | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
All right, I've got a couple of qualifications in jail, you know. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
I didn't go to school, I didn't get no GCSEs, | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
I've got fuck all to go out to when I get out | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
and I've got my mum sitting there on the phone to me saying, | 0:28:59 | 0:29:03 | |
"Ah, it's fucking stressing me out, son. I've got to get money to buy kids' presents and that." | 0:29:03 | 0:29:08 | |
I should be out there, | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
fucking earning money to give her money to pay for the kids' presents. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
I don't want to do this for the rest of my life... | 0:29:13 | 0:29:17 | |
..though I am scared | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
that I could end up doing something like this for the rest of my life. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
But, I mean, I am my own worst enemy really, innit? | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
I guess we all are. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:31 | |
Fuck it. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:36 | |
It's Friday in The Clink. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
The restaurant's fully booked for another fundraiser. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
Still waiting for the beef, the mutton. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
Whilst other prisoners have come and gone, Robbie Lister's held onto his job. | 0:29:55 | 0:30:00 | |
Right, Robbie, what you doing? | 0:30:02 | 0:30:03 | |
I'm filling these cups up. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
-OK, quick as you can, Robbie. -Yep. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
Good. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:12 | |
It's made me a bit more confident, you know what I mean? | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
I can do proper three-course meals. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
So if I can find myself a nice girl when I get out... | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
The saying does go that a way to a woman's heart is through her stomach. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:24 | |
It makes sense cos the heart is just below the stomach, or behind it, so... | 0:30:24 | 0:30:28 | |
What table is it, Ken? | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
'When he came he was very nervous and he thought he wasn't up to it. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:35 | |
'But I asked him to give it a go and he's changed.' | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
You know, he is a brilliant example, in my opinion. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
His personality's changed, his confidence has grown. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
With 80 covers to serve today, Al's called in backup | 0:30:46 | 0:30:51 | |
from the best Italian chef in London - Giorgio Locatelli. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:54 | |
I know Giorgio cos he's a famous Italian chef, | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
and I always admired him. | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
He's given up his time for us | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
to do one-to-one training with the prisoners and money can't buy that. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
Well, it can but we're not going to pay him. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
We're not paying you, are we? | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
If we make a good stock, then we're going to make a good risotto. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:15 | |
This is the second time Giorgio has been to the restaurant. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
How many restaurants you have? One, two? | 0:31:21 | 0:31:23 | |
I have six. So, three in London, Dubai and Italy, | 0:31:23 | 0:31:27 | |
-and then in Edimburgo, Edinburgh. -Edinburgh. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:32 | |
At the moment, they find it difficult to see that what they do is a profession. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:36 | |
The idea is to really make them understand | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
this is a profession, something you can make money out of. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:42 | |
So we are the clear example of that. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:43 | |
It's a success story really, innit? | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
It's a bit of inspiration. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:49 | |
If you put your mind to it and work hard enough, you can get all that stuff. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
Start the pasta, boys. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:57 | |
Al goes to check just how his food rates against a Michelin-star chef. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:07 | |
-What did you like the best so far? -The tart. -The goat's cheese tart. -Well, we made that. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
-The tart was divine. -Better than the pasta? | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
The pasta was delicious but very rich. It was delicious, but the tart was outstanding. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
Tart was outstanding! | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
Tart was outstanding. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
First I want to say well done today. You've done a really good job. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
Secondly, I hope, if any of you are good enough and want, | 0:32:29 | 0:32:33 | |
Giorgio said he's also prepared to offer somebody a job. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:37 | |
I told him you get paid £14.70 a week. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
Thank you very much. I appreciate it, sir. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
-Nice to see you, thank you very much. -What's the restaurant called? | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
-Locanda Locatelli. You'll find it everywhere. -I'll visit in seven weeks. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:52 | |
Yeah, is that when you are out, in seven weeks? Please do come. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
-Do you need a commis? -Yeah, we need all the time. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
Maybe not the same week, maybe a couple of weeks after. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
I think you'll perform well, but we'll see you down there. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:04 | |
-Take care. OK let's go. -That's not bad, is it? | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
When Robbie leaves High Down, he'll be going for a day's trial in a Michelin-star restaurant. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:12 | |
It's made me realise I want to be a chef when I get out, and it's given me an opportunity to do that. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:18 | |
He said, when I get out give him a call, go to his restaurant and see what it's like. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:23 | |
Do a trial for a little bit. You know what I mean? | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
A job right there. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
Cushty pie. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:30 | |
It's mid December and the Christmas season in The Clink is in full swing. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:44 | |
Richard, you bringing me three soup? | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
I need two veg without, yeah? | 0:33:50 | 0:33:54 | |
Dominic. Two Christmas puddings. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:56 | |
Dominic's back to prove himself to Al and try again for his NVQ. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:02 | |
One ravioli, one beef on here. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
Dominic, you've got to be a bit quick so it doesn't get cold, yeah? | 0:34:05 | 0:34:09 | |
'Today is Dominic's last chance. I've given him the benefit of the doubt regarding the Fanta incident.' | 0:34:10 | 0:34:16 | |
He's young, he's got a whole life ahead of him. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:19 | |
I don't want to just sweep him away like everybody else has done. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
Al's put Dominic back in charge of trifles. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:27 | |
This is my future. This is what I want to do so I can leave here and get a job. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:32 | |
I need a job when I get out or else I'm going to keep coming back here. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
OK. Well, they look much better than last time, don't they? | 0:34:39 | 0:34:42 | |
Look at that. You see the lines? | 0:34:42 | 0:34:45 | |
-Proper, innit? -They look like they're out of a packet, don't they? | 0:34:45 | 0:34:49 | |
Come on, get him involved there. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
He's not stupid. Watch what he does, you do the same. | 0:34:56 | 0:35:00 | |
And then show him the juice and away. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
'Well, he seems to be doing all right today. He's busy.' | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
He's keeping out of trouble. Seems like he's concentrating. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:11 | |
If he carries on, maybe there's hope for him yet. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
All right. Just help them now clear up and stuff, yeah? | 0:35:14 | 0:35:18 | |
-Come on. -At the end of a good shift, Dominic's paid an unexpected visit. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:25 | |
Don't use that little grin with me. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
-You all right, Miss? -Your little sweetie-pants face. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
Come on. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
Support Officer Jackie Burke met Dominic when he first arrived at High Down. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:37 | |
She's stayed in touch ever since. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
About six or seven months ago, he wasn't in a very good place and he'd been a little bit naughty. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
That's why he was in the segregation block. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
Er... | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
But I just saw something there that you can nurture. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
I was gutted, | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
absolutely gutted. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
-But I have been behaving, Miss. -So you bloody well should be behaving. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:01 | |
-I promise. -Going nicking a bottle of bloody Fanta's not going to help your cause, is it? | 0:36:01 | 0:36:06 | |
And then you get up there and you're suspended for two days. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
You've got something, Dominic, that's worth saving. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
We see that side, but you give it the big 'un | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
in front of all your peers on the landing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, aaaah! | 0:36:14 | 0:36:18 | |
Caught! So you promise me and if you don't, you'll be singing soprano. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:25 | |
'This is all he's got.' | 0:36:25 | 0:36:27 | |
And if you mange to help him, then I'm happy, we're all happy. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
We're all fighting his corner. For how long I don't know, cos he's like a cat with nine lives. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:35 | |
I think he's had eight and three quarters. He's on a quarter left. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:39 | |
The next morning, Dominic heads to work - but Al's heard some disturbing news. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:48 | |
AL: I've been told that he, | 0:36:50 | 0:36:51 | |
on his way back from The Clink to the houseblock, | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
leant in through the kitchen window and threatened a prisoner - | 0:36:54 | 0:36:58 | |
threatened that he was going to cut his throat. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |
Unbelievable. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
That makes me angry and makes it also easy for me to say, | 0:37:05 | 0:37:09 | |
"Fine. I've tried to help you and you've blown it, go away. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:14 | |
"I've got other people who are much more worthy than you to help | 0:37:14 | 0:37:17 | |
"and I don't want to hear your bloody excuses and all your bullshit!" | 0:37:17 | 0:37:21 | |
-What about the threats? -Oh, the threats. Na, yeah. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:27 | |
Obviously he owed someone something, someone said to collect it for them. Cos of the way I speak, | 0:37:27 | 0:37:31 | |
he's just assuming I'm saying bare bad things, cos of the way I'm talking with a bit of attitude. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:36 | |
But I never once said one bad thing. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:38 | |
You have to go and hustle, bruv. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:40 | |
D'you know what I'm saying? That's how you have to be. It's survival skills, innit? | 0:37:40 | 0:37:45 | |
Remember, no-one in here is good. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
No-one in here is in here for good behaviour. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
People say when you go jail you're meant to change, but when you know people off the road | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
and you come to jail and you see the same faces... | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
You take a left, take a right, look up, look back, look left, there's a criminal. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:03 | |
Dominic's unaware that Al heard about the threats. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:09 | |
I saw one magpie today. I think I'm getting sacked. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
One magpie. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
It's bad luck, innit? | 0:38:15 | 0:38:16 | |
Do you know why you're here? | 0:38:19 | 0:38:20 | |
-Why? -Final decision, innit? | 0:38:20 | 0:38:24 | |
You've been sacked, Dominic, | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
because of a prisoner - you threatened to cut him up. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
-On my Mum's life, Alberto, I swear down... -Listen, Dominic. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:34 | |
-I threatened to cut him up - is that what he said? -Dominic... | 0:38:34 | 0:38:37 | |
-it don't wash with me any more. -Cool, cool. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
I can't trust you any more. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
And if you don't change, | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
in my view, you're going to end up in prison your whole life. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:49 | |
Or get out, get in a gang, and... | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
Cos you need qualifications or you're going to get stabbed up. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
I don't even care no more. Just do the time and get out, you get me? | 0:38:57 | 0:39:02 | |
That's what I'm doing. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:03 | |
And then what are you going to do when you get out, then? | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
You'll still have nowhere to live, and no bloody qualifications. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
I don't even mind about all of that, bruv. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
You get me? It's nothing. You get me? | 0:39:16 | 0:39:20 | |
Obviously I've got friends and that, so it's nothing, bruv, I don't really care no more. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:24 | |
-That's it. -There's nothing else I can say. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
-Thanks. -All right, Dominic. Listen, I wish you all the best. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
Yeah, yeah, definite. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
You lot hold this as well. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:38 | |
-THEY JEER > -Shut your mouth, you little prick! | 0:39:41 | 0:39:44 | |
I don't feel like I've failed, I feel like I've succeeded by sacking him | 0:39:44 | 0:39:48 | |
because I've removed a bad apple. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
I'm not wasting my time and energy | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
on somebody that doesn't really deserve it, | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
so I can concentrate on people that do. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
As punishment for the threats, Dominic is placed on a Bully Book. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
His movement on the wings will be restricted and he'll be put on basic regime - | 0:40:06 | 0:40:11 | |
with personal clothes, including his shoes, taken away. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
-Any civilian kit you need to bag up for me. -I'm keeping my trainers. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:22 | |
I'll get you a size 5 pair of shoes, unless you've already got a set of prison ones. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:27 | |
I don't wear prison ones. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
Hey, yeah listen. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
I don't want to... Me, personally, I don't want to give up my trainers. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
Well, this is not a debate. It's your turn to listen to me. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:39 | |
I'll get you some trainers and then you'll be giving up them ones, all right? | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
Bag up the rest of your kit. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
Taking man's shit. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
Thank you. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:50 | |
There's no way I'm losing my shoes, and I've been on basic before | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
and they've never taken my shoes. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:59 | |
They're just bend man up to get my things, bruv. I'll just go mad, bruv. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:05 | |
-No arguments. -They ain't taking my shoes, bruv. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
You know why. I'm not having no arguments with you. Just get them off, now. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:20 | |
Go on, give us 'em here. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
Anything else you want? | 0:41:22 | 0:41:24 | |
Do you know, I am so disappointed in you. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
You make me look a right twat. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |
You can't even look at me, can you? | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
No, you can't - because you know. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
You know what's right and you know what's wrong and you choose to go wrong. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:43 | |
You're doing that wrong. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
I'm doing it, Miss. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:49 | |
In and out, in and out. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
Right, later. Sorry. Sorry, I'm just... | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
Jackie's the best, bruv, I swear down, bruv. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:04 | |
If she weren't here they wouldn't have got none of my shit, blood, I'm showing you. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:09 | |
He'll be in and out. The rest of his life now's fucked. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
That's it for him. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
Another one bites the dust. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:18 | |
All right, I'll come and see you next week. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:25 | |
All right, you think long and hard this weekend, young man. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:29 | |
Can't believe it. After the talk we had yesterday, | 0:42:37 | 0:42:41 | |
I can't believe he could be so stupid... | 0:42:41 | 0:42:44 | |
and blow all his chances. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:46 | |
Cos I said he was a cat with eight and three quarter lives - | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
well, he's just lost the quarter. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:52 | |
When he goes on the outside I think he'll get involved with people | 0:42:52 | 0:42:57 | |
that are an awful lot harder than him - | 0:42:57 | 0:42:59 | |
whether it be a gang, whether it be drug dealers. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
He'll get caught in all that and he'll either end up dead... | 0:43:01 | 0:43:05 | |
..or serving life for something. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:09 | |
That's...my opinion - | 0:43:09 | 0:43:11 | |
if he doesn't sort himself out now, at 19, he never will. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
-Prison's not a nice place. -Not a nice place. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:20 | |
Stay in school. Don't do things that are wrong. | 0:43:20 | 0:43:23 | |
There's only two ways - death or prison. | 0:43:23 | 0:43:27 | |
-What is it going to be, my friend? -Prison! | 0:43:27 | 0:43:30 | |
It's a new year at High Down. | 0:43:37 | 0:43:39 | |
Happy new year! | 0:43:40 | 0:43:42 | |
Today, Robbie Lister is out of prison earlier than expected. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:47 | |
Fucking hell, first mini taste of freedom. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:50 | |
But he's not going home. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:52 | |
AL: Today's a brilliant day. Today we're taking Robbie out | 0:43:52 | 0:43:55 | |
on what we call a ROTL - release on temporary licence - | 0:43:55 | 0:43:58 | |
and I'm taking him up to Locatelli's restaurant. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:01 | |
Robbie's going to try for a job as a commis chef. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
It's the first time he's been out of prison for eight months. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:09 | |
I'm feeling nervous but it's a good nervous, you know what I mean? | 0:44:09 | 0:44:12 | |
It's a good opportunity. Turn a new page, start a new chapter. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:17 | |
For Robbie, this is make or break. | 0:44:23 | 0:44:25 | |
He's got to convince them to give him a job. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:29 | |
That's a lot of pressure. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:31 | |
-GIORGIO: -How are you doing, Al? You OK? | 0:44:32 | 0:44:34 | |
Yeah, thanks. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:35 | |
-Welcome to Locanda. -Thank you. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
OK, marcia, one carciofolo punterella, | 0:44:38 | 0:44:41 | |
followed by one tortellini. To finish, one monk fish and one seabass. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:45 | |
Yes, Chef! | 0:44:45 | 0:44:47 | |
12 weeks ago, Robbie knew virtually nothing about cooking. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:53 | |
Now he's about to be put to the test in one of the best restaurants in the country. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:58 | |
I've never seen Robbie as nervous as this. He's bricking himself. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:04 | |
I want you to make this one time, | 0:45:07 | 0:45:10 | |
-so be -careful, watch your finger. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:12 | |
Robbie's test is to make Giorgio a fennel and blood orange salad. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:21 | |
I'm sure I can handle it. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:23 | |
If I can pass the test of being in prison, | 0:45:23 | 0:45:26 | |
I can pass the test of doing this, hopefully. | 0:45:26 | 0:45:28 | |
OK, I'll taste it! | 0:45:31 | 0:45:33 | |
I hope he likes it. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:35 | |
-Sorry? -I hope he likes it. -So do I. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:37 | |
Hey, come here. | 0:45:39 | 0:45:41 | |
-OK, you made it? -Yeah. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:45 | |
When you do something as simple as that, | 0:45:45 | 0:45:48 | |
you really need to be spot on with the seasoning and everything. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:50 | |
That's what we're going to test - your ability to season. | 0:45:50 | 0:45:53 | |
Mm. | 0:45:56 | 0:45:57 | |
Mm. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:01 | |
I think you can come back. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:11 | |
-Thank you very much. -Yeah? I'll see you later, then. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:14 | |
I think he's going to start slow, it's going to take him a while, but he's going to be all right. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:19 | |
I think he's got it in him. And if it doesn't work out, I've got 1,000 more. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:24 | |
In 1,000 we'll find one. | 0:46:24 | 0:46:26 | |
-We'll find one. -No, I think we put our faith in him. Yeah? | 0:46:26 | 0:46:30 | |
Robbie will earn up to £19,000 a year. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:35 | |
Smashed it, mate, smashed it! | 0:46:35 | 0:46:37 | |
Fucking smashed it. | 0:46:38 | 0:46:41 | |
It's late January in High Down. | 0:46:51 | 0:46:53 | |
Morning, boys. | 0:46:53 | 0:46:56 | |
Jackie's collecting dirty laundry from the houseblocks. | 0:46:56 | 0:46:59 | |
Dominic's no longer on a Bully Book, | 0:47:02 | 0:47:05 | |
but has struggled to find another job. | 0:47:05 | 0:47:08 | |
'I went to see him over the Christmas and he was very down in the dumps.' | 0:47:08 | 0:47:11 | |
He knew what he did wrong, | 0:47:11 | 0:47:14 | |
so I said, "Right, final...down here." | 0:47:14 | 0:47:17 | |
Cos he needs constant supervision, so I'm pleased. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:21 | |
-Good lady, Miss Jackie. -SHE CHUCKLES | 0:47:21 | 0:47:24 | |
-The soft soap won't work! -Miss Jackie sees the talent. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:27 | |
I don't know about the talent but there is good in everybody. It's just trying to get it out of you. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:32 | |
Like Miss Jackie knows | 0:47:32 | 0:47:34 | |
-when you can behave. -Well, you CAN behave. | 0:47:34 | 0:47:38 | |
You see, good people. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
It's good to know good people in your life, you get me? | 0:47:40 | 0:47:42 | |
Good woman, bruv. | 0:47:44 | 0:47:46 | |
Yeah, bruv. | 0:47:46 | 0:47:47 | |
You'll never get a next Miss Jackie. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:49 | |
I think I love her because like, she helps, man. | 0:47:51 | 0:47:54 | |
-Made me learn things. -Split the load up so it's not too heavy. | 0:47:54 | 0:47:58 | |
It's always good to have at least one person that likes you, bruv, in jail. | 0:47:58 | 0:48:01 | |
-Have you done the jeans? -Yeah, this is the last ones. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:04 | |
-Socks and pants? -Nah. | 0:48:04 | 0:48:07 | |
Four boxes here, Jason. | 0:48:07 | 0:48:10 | |
Yeah I need ten of those. | 0:48:12 | 0:48:13 | |
-Do you think he's ever going to go straight? -Pfft! | 0:48:15 | 0:48:18 | |
Dunno. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:23 | |
I don't know. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:25 | |
-Hey mind, mind, mind, you're going to trip! -Get off the trolley! | 0:48:25 | 0:48:29 | |
Dominic was found guilty of two robberies. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:34 | |
He's serving three years and eight months. | 0:48:34 | 0:48:36 | |
-You have to walk a bit faster. -No, you walk slower. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:41 | |
'We can give them all the support in here that they want.' | 0:48:41 | 0:48:45 | |
They've got doctors, dentists, absolutely everything. | 0:48:45 | 0:48:48 | |
When they walk out that gate, what have they got? What has he got when he walks out that gate? | 0:48:48 | 0:48:52 | |
Nothing. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:54 | |
Absolutely nothing. And his friends are the people on the streets. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:58 | |
How is he going to survive? | 0:48:58 | 0:48:59 | |
He's not, is he? | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
Bruv, you lot are terrible. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:06 | |
Like most jails in England and Wales, | 0:49:08 | 0:49:10 | |
High Down must now reform prisoners with less money than last year. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:15 | |
# And you could have it all | 0:49:15 | 0:49:18 | |
# My empire of dirt | 0:49:21 | 0:49:24 | |
# I will let you down | 0:49:26 | 0:49:29 | |
# I will make you hurt | 0:49:31 | 0:49:34 | |
# If I could start again | 0:49:36 | 0:49:40 | |
# A million miles away | 0:49:42 | 0:49:45 | |
# I would keep myself... # | 0:49:47 | 0:49:50 | |
