Seven celebrities are banged up inside HMP Shrewsbury to see what life's really like in British prisons in 2023. The famous faces share cramped cells with ex-cons, from contract killers to international drug-dealers.
Ex-Tory MP Neil Parish and pop star HRVY step through the doors of HMP Shrewsbury to sample life on the inside. Between them they endure pranks and a hostage crisis. And Gogglebox star Marcus Luther attends an anger management course.
Columnist Peter Hitchens sparks fireworks at the prison's drug support group. Actor Tom Rosenthal smuggles contraband into the prison, stashed deep "inside" his body. And a surprise cell search catches former MP Neil Parish off guard.
HMP Shrewsbury is at boiling point. As the inmates run amok and staff struggle to keep control, the VIPs must grapple with how to survive. And as the experiment comes to an end, the VIP inmates reflect on their time inside.
