Naughty By Nature 18 by Harry Kerdean

I'm not particularly struck by "life of crime" stories although this series was OK, but I've started to really appreciate the recent episodes featuring life in prison and the doings of treatment centres and the probation service. It reflects the experience of a friend of mine who has also experienced the sheer tenacity needed to stay straight and the frustrations involved; I like how the series is neither sensationalist nor self-pitying, and shot through with honest insight into how the "system works" or, more often, doesn't.
