Hunting Ground

Behind the last locked door, the predators hunt each other.

Britain keeps its most dangerous men in a handful of units built so that nobody inside can hurt anybody again. Some of them did anyway. They killed the men in the next cell, and the men in the next cell killed back.

Hunting Ground goes inside those units, cell by cell and case by case, and asks the question the courts could never quite answer: what makes a man who will never be released decide to kill again?

Drawing on the trial records, the appeal files and the professionals who examined these men, it is a dark journey into the last locked door of the prison system, and the minds behind it.
