The Public don’t normally see what goes on in prisons, but Channel 4’s three-part documentary ‘Prison’, filmed at HMP
Durham, offered a rare glimpse of life inside. Many viewers were moved by what they saw – here’s what some of them had to say on
Twitter about the staff:
‘my god what amazing staff doing
a wonderful job in such difficult
circumstances. You’re all heroes.’ ‘The work the staff do in such stressful
and risky conditions is unbelievable,
they deserve a medal’ ‘Shows the challenges faced by
staff and prisoners but just as
importantly the compassion.’

‘Immeasurable amount of
respect to all those working
in the Prison service’ ‘credit to the
incredible staff ’ ‘I’m really impressed with the calm,
compassionate and reasonable way
the staff coped with a very, very
challenging situation.’
