There he seeks stability and security, he believes a uniformed, disciplined profession will deliver that and he becomes a Prison Officer.   But some of the inmates are friendly towards Vincent, but they clearly aren’t his friend. He gets drawn into a web of deceit and he commits criminal offences to appease them.   But Vincent is being watched, he’s caught, arrested, interviewed and charged and now he has to face a life on the other side of those prison bars.  ________________________________________________________ Our next series is about the murder of a businessman , a well known character in his community; savagely attacked and left for dead. Some days later his family made the painful decision to switch off his life support. Three young men were arrested, interviewed, charged, convicted and imprisoned.
