A Life with Crime

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A few weeks ago a state of emergency was declared at Liverpool's Walton Jail due to a Prison Officers' strike and rioting prisoners. Since then the troubles have rumbled on. Tonight Ludovic Kennedy talks to the Governor of Walton about day-to-day pressure in one of Britain's largest prisons. Bill Driscoll , who's actually been knifed by one of his inmates, also explains why he made the strange choice of becoming a jailer, and talks about the myriad problems of the prison service.
