- Synopsis:
Oscar nominee Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs, Tumbleweeds) stars as Helen Hewitt, the youngest woman ever to be placed in charge of a maximum-security men's prison, in this hard-hitting drama series written and produced by the multi-award-winning Lynda La Plante (Prime Suspect, Widows). Series two continues to trace Helen's progress following her high-profile and controversial appointment as governor of Barfield Prison - a troubled institution which has been partially rebuilt following recent rioting. The situation within the prison remains highly volatile; this series sees Helen negotiating in a traumatic hostage crisis, while among Barfield's 700 inmates is new arrival 'Tarzan' - one of Britain's most dangerous men. And Helen is to face her toughest challenge when the staging of the prisoners' musical provides the perfect cover for a breakout by some of Barfield's most violent top-security inmates... - Actors:
