Description
In this revolutionary experiment, six celebrities are putting themselves through an ultra-authentic prison experience. Living in a real, recently decommissioned jail, they’ll discover what life behind bars is really like, as they attempt to survive a strict prison regime – exactly like a modern prisoner would.
From the moment the celebs set foot onto the terrifying wing they’ll face real prison conditions, from open toilets in the middle of their cell and cold communal showers to disgustingly cheap prison food and impromptu naked strip searches.
What’s more, they’ll share their cells with real criminal inmates, forcing them into close confines with the country’s scariest cons. From murderers to drug dealers & gang leaders, these men have done serious time for serious crimes.
Running it all around the clock are a team of prison officers, who’ve worked in the country’s scariest jails. Overseen by a real prison governor.
How will they learn to cope? And what will they discover about themselves in the process? Banged Up is a survival show like no other.
