Imagine being locked up with ex-convicts for four days, fearing for your safety every moment. This is exactly what journalist Peter Hitchens experienced in a recent documentary. Hitchens, who initially thought the television company would prioritize safety, found himself in a situation where anything could go wrong. In this eye-opening experiment, Hitchens gives us a glimpse into the power dynamics, lack of authority, and the shocking reality of life behind bars.

Hitchens, known for his strong opinions, went into the documentary with certain preconceptions about prison life. However, his time inside HMP Shrewsbury shattered any illusions he may have had. The experience was far more challenging and frightening than he anticipated. There were moments of nervousness and a constant feeling that something could go wrong at any time. Hitchens admitted that if given the chance to leave on the third morning, he would have gladly taken it.

Peter Hitchens told TalkTV's Mike Graham that the whole experience, "often seemed quite close to violence."
