Throw Away the Keys?
One of the main aims in prison today is the rehabilitation of prisoners. In Barlinnie, many prisoners are locked up for 23 hours a day - one way out is to get a job. Prison jobs provide learnt skills and behaviours, but these jobs are not easy to come by. Prisoners can earn promotions as they become trusted in the workplaces.
Two prisoners, Robert and John, have their release dates in sight and are working towards life on the outside. Albanian drug dealer Robert is fighting deportation while desperately hoping to be returned to his son. Violent offender John searches for a new start to try and beat his alcohol addiction.
The programme includes an eye-opening interview with one of Scotland's most notorious gangsters, Jimmy Boyle.

McDonald & Dodds
McDonald & Dodds is set in Bath and follows the wildly ambitious DCI McDonald, who is partnered with the shy, modest DS Dodds. While McDonald has transferred from the mean streets of South London to leap up the career ladder, Dodds has happily languished on the shelf for most of his working life.
McDonald is a tough, driven, battering ram of a cop who cracks cases through sheer force of will; Dodds – the tortoise to her hare – is quiet, unassuming and enigmatic. But thrust back into frontline action for the first time in a decade, he discovers a hidden talent for deciphering puzzles. Two contemporary Britons, seemingly with nothing in common, thrown together, boss McDonald and loyal sidekick Dodds forge a rumbustious, entertaining and ultimately – give or take a few setbacks – effective partnership.
