In this series Ex Prison Officers tell their harrowing stories of dealing with violent inmates, murderers, rapists and pedophiles in a job that is rarely spoken about.

Violence, murder, riots, are just part of the absurdity of daily life in a maximum security facility.

It is a tough job, facing down terrifying inmates, with negotiation skills, and bare hands, the only weapons at your disposal.

Prison Chronicles tells the never before heard stories of life in prison, from the mouths of those men and women who have lived it.
