Channel 5's new documentary HMP Wakefield: Evil Behind Bars will lift the lid on one of Britain's toughest prisons nicknamed 'the English version of Alcatraz'.
Through interviews with inmates, ex-prisoners, guards and relatives of notorious inmates, HMP Wakefield: Evil Behind Bars will spill the secrets of what goes on behind its bars. The show will highlight what it is like for sex offenders and child killers to try and survive as they are targeted, attacked and even killed by other inmates for their crimes on a regular basis.
Viewers will also be able to get an insight into some of the toughest conditions the prison has to offer, including Wakefield’s notorious punishment block, F-Wing, the segregation unit, solitary confinement for the worst of the worst. Dubbed the most dangerous prisoner in Britain, we will be getting an inside look at how serial killer Robert Maudsley is coping in his glass cage in the basement of the prison.
