What Happens to Child Abusers in UK Prisons

0:00 Entering the hidden world of British prisons 2:07 The prison pecking order 4:21 Exposure, paperwork and protection 8:55 Life on the block 10:21 Specialist prisons and failed treatment 12:11 When prison justice turns deadly 15:26 What happens after release I take you inside the hidden rule book of British prisons, where a prisoner’s offence can determine his safety, status and every part of daily life. I examine how convicted child abusers are identified, pressured and forced to choose between hiding on the main wing or seeking protection. I also look at vulnerable prisoners’ units, segregation, prison violence and the cases that show how prison justice can turn deadly. I investigate the treatment programmes intended to reduce reoffending, the prisons built around sex offenders and what happens when these men eventually return to the community. At the centre of the story is one difficult question: did any of this suffering make children safer outside?
