A new three-part series that uses fictionalised case studies to debate current issues.
Pros and Cons. Tonight, an assessment of some of the tough moral and ethical dilemmas faced by the prison service. Does a prison officer rescue his colleagues or sex offenders first from a marauding mob? Will a padre break a confidence to save a life? The 'players' include former Home Secretary Merlyn Rees, prison officers and governors, a policeman, a probation officer and a solicitor. The moderator is Vincent Hanna. More'hypotheticals' are posed on Thursday and Friday.
