Series 1: 2. Escape
Due to severe overcrowding, the services in Barlinnie are stretched to the limit. Across Scotland, 2,500 referrals are made per year for drug and alcohol treatment. HMP Barlinnie, like all other prisons, is a hotspot for drug use, and the proliferation of spice causes huge unpredictability in the inmates.\n\nThe recovery teams help provide psychological support for the inmates, but they are fighting against a vicious cycle. A midnight drone flies drugs directly into a cell, and inmate Jamie relapses with the temptation of illegal drugs. Darren calls in the chaplain to help him with self-harm attempts and suicide.
