The reality of life behind bars is a fascinating subject matter for those of us who’ve never set foot inside a prison.
Series one of Time, created and written by Cracker and Hillsborough writer Jimmy McGovern, did an excellent job of answering some of these questions and portraying the prison world of rules, petty bullying, high emotions and sudden violence.
“The vast majority of female prisoners should not be in there, the overwhelming majority of sentences are 12 months or less. A huge proportion of them are sentenced to six months or less. Six to 12 months is just enough to ruin your life. And to do nothing else whatsoever.” The impact of a short sentence is explored through Whittaker’s character Orla, who sees her life turned upside down by her incarceration.
