‘It’s very disturbing television – not just the violence but the noise too, a hellish cacophony of metallic clanking and shouting. It’s also brave and admirable television too.’

- The Guardian

‘To the immense credit of the Home Office and the film-makers, nobody has tried to sugar-coat the misery captured in this programme.’  

- The Times

‘A commendable and compelling window on an appallingly bleak world’

- The Daily Telegraph

‘Aylesbury is a tough, rich stew of damaged, angry youth, the worst of the worst always on the prowl, looking for retribution. An excellent two-part documentary does little to dispel this grim picture.’

- Radio Times

‘It’s raw, uncompromising material, yet you soon begin to see the inmates as human beings rather than monsters – while not envying the admirable prison staff’

- The Daily Telegraph

‘A terrifying portrait of the sad existence of troubled, often violent kids who are badly in need of help they will never receive. Very disturbing.’

- The Observer

‘Pick of the Day’
