Gordon Teaches Criminals To Cook | Gordon Behind Bars

[Music] foreign [Music] if anything kicks off and it goes a little bit of another year a friendly place to be in the middle of Britain's prison population is exploding is increased by 22 000 in the last decade and cost almost 2 billion a year waste out of money that we spend to keep these guys in there there are some prison work schemes the governments say they want to create more but in cash trap Britain few offenders graph full time to pay anything back the whole purpose of this is to get in there set up a business and to get them grafted so I'm giving my time and energy to see if I can get offenders earning ah it's Gordon Ramsay it's taken nine months to persuade the ministry of Justice to let me try and set up my pilot business in the notorious hmp Brixton Jesus what size that wall right on the Monsters the governor's put the word out about my idea and a few of the prisoners are curious about my plan to cook on the inside and sell on the outside [Music] I do Brixton is a Victorian category B prison with 800 inmates locked up for anything from shoplifting to murder [Laughter] welcome to Brixton thank you okay um you've handed all your personal items into the gate there oh yeah phone and your phone and everything like that I remind you to do that every day that you come okay let's go inside the Mark westgarth is taking me into the heart of the prison here the prisons are kept in their cells up to 21 hours a day with each other I'll put one in these places no problem someone's not here to be made fun of by him or anyone else a lot of these people believe that they're going to do this and their lives to dramatically change what do I think about Ramsay you can be a bit Fierce with people that he's working with yeah that's what I think I think you would leave a few people along the way that's how it goes you know Only the Strong Survive the prisoners are housed in five separate wings I have no idea who I'm going to be working with if he's coming to change the world I don't think you will and I don't think long term it's gonna be a winner and how many uh prisons are in here uh I believe it's 220 yards wow ninety percent of the criminals on this Wing have serious drug or alcohol problems foreign [Music] [Music] toes unlock it's lunch time prisoners are let out their cell for a few brief moments to collect their food there's a chance for me to go face to face with some of my potential workers um obviously you signed up yeah um can you cook yeah have you got a party going on all that bread Mr Kelly uh so you signed up yeah Mr Jones that was last time you cooked tonight um seven months ago now what was it yeah spaghetti bolognese did they go down well oh yeah to forget some of these prisoners are here for serious offenses [Music] you found a shotgun under your bed and some of these people are quite dangerous you may get people screaming and shouting at you you know you're famous so they might they might want to have a pop please don't rise to me no no we'll we'll deal with it you know I mean that's that's definitely we're good [Music] the mood has suddenly turned and an offender is kicking off [Applause] all I can hear is my name foreign [Applause] next minute potential riot these are men under pressure and when men are under pressure they can do bad things what kind of things can happen tonight uh throwing something it could be anything anything that could be anything tough chop the enormity of what I've taken on is starting to sink in in 2010 there were over 14 000 assaults in prison and nearly 3 000 attacks on staff [Music] recently someone got their throat slipped just a guy jumped in the bind toothbrushed and melted in and slit um that's the kind of things that go on you can feel it there's like a sort of it's a huge wave of pressure in it almost like it's bursting it's so intense didn't seem at first every hour I'm here it's just getting stronger and stronger foreign [Music] I'm in Brixton prison where I'm trying to put the prisoners to work they're going to cook on the inside to sell on the outside it's time they paid something back I'll see if these bad boys are curious about my plan and I've agreed to meet me in the chapel to hear more there's 22 in all from robbers and drug dealers to burglars and thieves they're here for a reason and so you can get complacent about these guys and you know and forget what they're actually here for and what they're capable of they will lie to him then we'll try and manipulate him because that's what they do I've got to get these guys on my side I'm going to install a little bit of confidence [Music] I'm not here to improve their grub and this isn't going to be a fancy food treat for them [Music] they aren't the most flexible of people in the way they think not with just seeing how the kitchen works and how disciplined it is to get prisoners to do that it's on it very hard the whole idea is getting up close to see what they're made of morning guys how are we sorry I'm sorry why am I here to build a kitchen and to get a production going and give you guys a chance to earn and learn and put back inside here's our Grafton he's proper grafting yeah it's proper graft listen let's be honest you get out of it we put into it what made you want to get involved with this it's a good question really um 20 years ago I got Dell a dysfunctional card my little brother became a heroin addict and my father became an alcoholic what do I do do I sit there and join my little brother or to become an alcoholic alongside my father no I got off my ass I stopped for feeling sorry for myself and I got on with it put my head down learned a craft and that's the journey I'm hoping that we're going to go on thank you I think you played it well because he's he's told us a bit about his himself his history how he how he became a cork and you know he's told us about his family so I have less than six months to kick this Motley Crew into shape and try and mold them into a kitchen outfit that can pay its way have a seat fellas just chill out for a moment okay [Music] but can any of them even cook a simple dish of scrambled eggs can I spot any Talent here [Music] Anthony hi task let little plate of scrambled eggs please a burglar Anthony Kelly age 33 is a career criminal having spent half his life in and out of prison what job did you have before you got in for example I've never worked mate I'm ashamed of it really I've always duckling diving I'm embarrassed about being a prison I'm not proud of what I've done I'm ashamed about what I've done so just cut them die I've done my life smoking cocaine 10 years of age I could give um that was that I was in lock-ups in that lock up for my life what was the last time you made a comedy um nice um yeah you're getting romantic now yeah yourself how have you been a cookbook uh 45 now last month um so yeah 25 years a bit of football no you're kidding me aren't you yeah football's 90 minutes cooking's 125 hours [Music] Friday it will taste feel pretty disgusting here if it was an omelette it'd be like it'd be all right next up 45 year old Londoner Lawrence Gibbons is that a spelling mistake on there nine convictions or 79. I've got uh 69 no 669 or 69 no 76 convictions now some people call Prime we're called the way of life my first my first thing was uh robbing post offices but great this time it's a salt that I'm in for whereas before I've been done for drugs the fascinating thing about you because I've been at school together I was 45 last month how come you look older than me I don't know I must do all the money you've got you know please I'm gonna taste good quality a bit overcooked your parents that I'm starting at Rock Bottom here we've got a leak in the ceiling what's all that water I don't know [Music] this love can't tell their ass from their elbow Tesla Jones from South London has been in trouble with the law since he was 12. first time in um no no I've been in several times before I've been in several times yeah I actually like grew up in prison you understand I spent most of my my teenage years in prison the opportunity that I've got now I mean maybe I'm the Knicks called the Ramsay maybe I'm the black Gordon Ramsay you never know that water came out the side what do you think that means um what does that mean it won't cook long enough no it's overcooked the other way yeah I think Tesla's willing to work hard but he's a disaster in the kitchen I didn't anticipate there would all be quite so useless none of these reprobates has a clue how to cook thank you long day that's a tough one quite a few decisions to make now they're all [ __ ] really yeah he's got an odd job and you know what I [ __ ] don't know he's gonna do it he's probably himself I think don't try and be over [ __ ] old [ __ ] this [ __ ] that f word [ __ ] [ __ ] all that [Music] they let you know don't [ __ ] with me you know a sort of chilling feeling because you're just this is five minutes from my house I'm feeling like I'm the vulnerable one now walking around with the Target on my back ultimately my bad boys will be cooking on the inside to sell on the outside it's not going to be easy and first I've got to convince the prison Governor Ed teller and his team about my plan for a working business kitchen morning everybody this is the beginning of an ongoing project the objective is to stand alone kitchen that can be a proper business within the prison kitchens can function from a thousand pound a week to you know fifty thousand pound a week in turnover the dream would be for to make money generate income and put back in you know we've seen projects come and go over the years and what we're really interested in is something which is sustainable was going to last that's the bit going forward that slightly worries me because kind of getting a business out of this keeping the kitchen going working it around our regime it's going to be a massive task for bricks dinner I know it's a big ask and uh yeah my my my balls are on the line being in a prison is not the same as being working on the outside yeah offenders you know you can't underestimate that they are not all with an easy advantage to work with they're not used to working on a nine-to-five basis they're not necessarily used to um to occurring to welcome being told what to do and then taking it the right way it is a very new thing for them and they have to get used to it [Music] in six months time I want to leave this prison with a proper working commercial kitchen so right now I've got 22 incompetent prisoners and that's just way too much for me to handle I'm going to scale it down get a dynamic 12 for my bad boy Brigade none of this log can cook but are they any good at anything I've devised the test to see if any of them can learn to cook or sell what we cook to make money if they can't do either they're out good morning we're gonna make some fairy cakes we love it I love it okay okay what's the secret of good fairy cake I have a [ __ ] clue now I want to see your imagination go wild I want you to decorate it with some finesse show me what you can do on top of a cupcake yeah now this thing here the kitchen Kitty I want you to look at that box and take it serious we're gonna sell those cupcakes we're gonna split into two teams half you will bake and half of you will try to convince our prison officers to buy your cupcakes obviously you'll be a seller can you get your hands out your pocket stop playing with yourself what is that yeah [Music] pleased to see me okay all the baking team have to do is follow my simple fairy cake recipe [Music] what does a pinch mean they're all committing gvh against kegs around here guys guys guys look at me all of you stop we've all put the [ __ ] butter into the flour [ __ ] over thought a [ __ ] cupcake would [ __ ] throw that away [Music] the prisoners just can't concentrate my head's everywhere David Jones an ex-soldier is addicted to heroin he became a thief to feed his habits don't worry they're still too hard back in the oven for 30 seconds yeah just like that and I'll I'll help you again I haven't seen the family for 20 years I knew what I was like that on drugs or without drugs you know I was a bastard I don't want to fail I'm sick of fail you know I'm sick of not getting somewhere or not being someone habitual offender Lawrence does seem to care about what he's doing I've just gone pounding up didn't I they're fine if we rush them they're gonna be raw then your poisoned officers how's that going to go down well you know say larvae sorry crap we record cupcakes would be so difficult David Jones struggles they just got carried away and completely screwed us up but uh the person I thought that was going to be a disaster Lawrence seemed to know what he was doing I don't cook sometimes but it doesn't hurt to learn something does it well I've read pubs before through my life if I'd have been able to cook properly he may be I'd have done different things in my life and not ended up back in jail those not cooking cakes are selling them there must be some sharp entrepreneurs here they need a brand hey what's the name I reckon you call it sweet too th [Music] sponge okay same time now these domestic goddesses are going to decorate their fairy cakes [Music] you shouldn't go and don't forget selling these [Music] it's great decoration that sells a cupcake for throwing at the end otherwise you're going to be going back looking like a bunch of fairies coated in glitter designs range from disastrous [ __ ] nozzles gotta go inside the bag to The Delectable the customers and the downright dodgy nice what's the theme yeah and there's a space in it with the Stars yeah that's fine when you're when you're on crap when you're not on crack now so we're not talking space the glittering should be sprinkled lightly now that's always had the runs on top of that one I am not going to sell that yeah next to that let me tell you what which one would you buy thank you very much but one burglar has done a lovely little job did you seriously do that yeah did you yeah did he do that that's nice so beautiful okay no you're not gonna have that one yourself we're selling them stop no no no no we're going to sell them back in the cupcake marketing department the ruthless criminals can't resist a little bit of glitter convict cupcakes post up designed by a Tesla over there you know you know promoted your name in it so we could sell more right you know real taste of prison it's like the colors the convicts cupcake shop is popping up just outside a-wing you like four yeah brilliant selling them are my Hustlers Anthony Kelly and Tesla Jones yeah they can start earning some legit cash here [Music] [Music] very Peak so that's 49 quid we've taken 20 of which is profit and this little box the beginning of something pretty major because if I can turn 40 quid into four grand a week it's going to take a little sweat yeah pain yeah now I'm gonna think long and hard about who from this group will make my final 12. are you scared of hard work I'm not scared of hard work at all I've done it in the past you know I mean it's just that it I think it depends on what I'm doing big question is when was the last time you worked 60 hours in a week straight work yeah never never [Music] I've been in Brixton prison for a week to get prisoners cooking on the inside to sell on the outside I've got six months to make my project a success what job did you have before you go to correction do you know what gold I've never worked mate I'm ashamed of it really the government wants to double the numbers of prisoners grafting and are looking to expand their working prison scheme it's easier life in Jordan is outside you know you've got everything done for you but even the Justice secretary believes prisons aren't delivering as they should it obviously don't work so if it don't work you need to fix it during the cupcake test I observed all my convicts up close I'm back at home I'm going to choose my 12 bad boys for my Brigade where'd you start it's been hard to get 12 because they're all the same they're all [ __ ] and they're all they're all got issues why should they be sat there 18 19 hours a day in a non-productive Cell doing jack [ __ ] Lawrence Gibbons Jared he's 45 years of age 79 convictions and where the hell do you start with that how do you get this guy discipline I don't care about any of the victims in any of my cases all through my life right but if I can better myself and get something out of it it's better than doing nothing Thief Tesla Jones is a career criminal he's been inside seven times if you're in prison and you're serving a long time you start to get used to your whole surroundings they call it institutionalized yeah right you start to get institutionalized and and it becomes nothing it becomes it becomes a holiday camp these men stand the concept of an honest day's work Anthony Kelly he's never had a job in his life and yet he's got the gift of the gap burglary you look at him he's a big sort of happy-go-lucky almost like a big puppy who have thought he's going to be putting a bad lover on let her past during the [ __ ] morning it's weird it's almost like they go inside they get sentenced and they become little boys prison don't change people people change their self so I thought I just got older I've got tired of it I've got tired of this old bullets the same old [ __ ] he said these [ __ ] tell me what to do so when they want something I'm sick of it I'm sick to the back of it but you know what you've got everyone's got to have enough pain before they stop what I've got to look for is the passion the hunger this is not sat on your ass we're gonna hopefully generate you know a busy bloody kitchen I've chosen My Bad Boys Dirty Dozen this is the team who will work in my pilot business guys come over come over come over this lot don't know what's going to hit them how he's feeling good morning you guys how are you you look cold yeah yeah okay you want me to take my jacket off that's it that's it grew up in Scotland he's used to this yeah okay here's the good news [Music] do the final 12. congratulations uh you're on fire this morning one of you are going to be putting back into this prison you are the first 12 to get this business going it's not about pissing around with glitter this is real and it's gonna get tougher we're running a business you're going to learn yeah you're gonna earn I'm gonna put back inside to this prison how does that make you feel great yeah good okay can't wait to start grafting you know and again in the kitchen start cooking I like these prisoners this is my first day teaching the Bad Boys Brigade to get more done I've radically changed these prisoners routine they're eating in the kitchen not in their cells the guys that we lock up here they know they know when they're going to get out there so they know what time they're going to be locked up any change to that it messes the system up messes with the head [Music] when things change that's when when things start going wrong sure enough the idea of change has sent Lawrence Gibbons off on one room he's thrown a hissy fit he wants to eat in his cell where he keeps his tomato sauce flowers is that you done completely that's it did you um can you take him back to the wink please losing Lawrence is bad enough but his walkout spreads descend in the ranks not much teamwork going on here [Music] listen there's a big difference between talking to each other and shouting each other let's talk nicely and let's remember we're a team let's go into their routine and the minute you change one little thing Bang they're like a bunch of [ __ ] babies they're just realizing what a shambles this so-called Brigade is turning out to be I don't think he's going to hang on to them they react against any kind of authority really when they're told to do something and the chance of getting this scheme to work in the time I've got we need to be selling a product to the public in four weeks time thank you I want to prove to these guys that they can work together as a unit so I've got a plan but it's a very ambitious plan that could make or break them I'm gonna put them under intense pressure and get them to cook an entire meal for the whole prison Dale Hatfield is in charge of brixton's prison kitchen oh Gordon are you well yeah fine I want permission to make a chili con carne for the 800 inmates a little bit blunt I want to ask um if I could borrow this kitchen for a day what I want to do is get them in here cooking so can I come up with a dish and cook for the prison the union meal the main meal please with your new brigade with my yeah that's a massive task for you and a new brigade but the prison specifications say that we provide a minimum of five choices five choices every day yeah [ __ ] I can't just do one dish no we've got customers that have no choice to go anywhere else the customers here get very upset if their meals are messed with screw up and we can have a riot on our hands we hit the deadline 4 15. yeah we must hit that deadline well Gordon Ramsay's Gordon Ramsay but for someone to come in here and be in charge of 12 people who have never done any form of catering never mind produce five main dishes I can't believe the task he's taken on this whole idea you know it's just turned out to be a head [ __ ] to be honest because now we've got to offer five choices he says customers I say prisoners he says choices I say [ __ ] off you sure they wouldn't like any [ __ ] blinian caviar to start I chose my bad boys Brigade for my startup business in Brixton prison this morning I'm getting them up two hours early I'm challenging my rookies to work as a team to make dinner for the entire prison so what are they like generally getting up early in the morning it all depends if anyone's been watching their own film The Brigade can't cook and constantly bicker but if they pull it off my business may be in with a chance thank you so quiet I've got to launch a product made by them to the public in a month's time so break it in it's weird but there's an Airy silence boom it's 6 30. my Brigade is a man down after Lawrence walked out hello mate we've got two minutes right now I need all the help I can get and Lawrence is one of the best cooks I've got Timbers aren't going to feel that bad that we're going to Chin someone do you know where I come from on this one we're the same age there's quite a nice level of maturity no no I'm saying you're quite a common influence over them do you know why because you don't tolerate the [ __ ] well I'm not here to push buttons and I'm here to help the last time I catered for 800 people I had a team of 45 fully trained chefs this time I've got 12 novices who couldn't make scrambled eggs at least Lawrence has agreed to come back let's go guys quick quick quick running let's go come over guys the 800 prisoners always eat in their cells but we're not improving prison food my aim is to see if the Brigade can carry this off if they can I might finally have a team we're we're 30 minutes behind already five main courses start off with a chili Halal 150 portions 250 portions of a normal chili after that we got two vegetarian dishes one vegan one vegetarian 50 portions of vegan and 100 portions of a vegetarian bake after that we're gonna do a chicken and mushroom pie 100 portions [Music] hey guys guys stop what's it rolling I can start actually making the chili because you've got 400 portions on veg prep is 90 of the battle I'm taking a really big risk and putting argumentative tests for Jones in charge yeah you okay yeah I'm fine yeah look at me nice and calm and we're working as a team yeah yeah you're part of that team so I want you to come across like a team member let's go you've got to do 40 trades look how bad these potatoes are hey yeah this is what we get in prison this is what we've got to work with everybody on the ass I could see that we're not living in luxury okay you won't put that in your pot would you 've never seen anything like what Gordon Ramsay is doing I'm not saying that he's he's gonna change me and I'm gonna come out I'm gonna be a big change man and you know what I mean I'm going to heaven all of a sudden and stuff like that what it's something that you can hold on to one career criminal I want to stop ducking and Diving is Lawrence I put him in charge for the main dish of the day chili con carne awesome wives Lawrence is up against it Fresh Choice he may not be a team player but he's not afraid of new experiences I've tried most things [Music] the drug the drug game everyone had a good time pastry how are you doing you got shortcrust on the bottom puff paste on top yeah yeah have a look through in the fridge help me Anthony Kelly is running the bakery section they've got 250 portions of chicken and mushroom pies to make Common Sense really just what it says the way it is lovely lovely come on you're not feeding the queen you know that'll do yeah been going two hours pies are on track but elsewhere we're in trouble we're running behind and the vegetable section is factors up because we're we're struggling with 800 servings of roast potatoes to prepare tespa and the veg team are in deep Waters and it's freezing a wetsuit to get the potatoes out I'm beginning to think these prisoners are Molly cuddled do you know what I'm starting to see so early on but I think it's too easy tell me when one of the boys told me last night I was watching telly all night Lance I can't watch television all night so it's easier inside than it is on the outside if you can wangle the system and get what you what you need what's best for you yeah everyone's banging on about the rear fending percentage so you can see why it is almost like a sort of a little personal hotel in their neighborhood yeah hello okay great I can't believe it the bakery section is flying Anthony and David have got 11 huge pies ready David's barely you know standing up and Anthony sweating like a pig don't we so it's like a it's like a kitchen a Misfits however they're not giving up that's the most important part one two three four six o'clock in the morning we've been here Fair place and you know what this might be the Turning Point well I'll never come at the prison again but become a good father become a [ __ ] video for people who love me down half an hour to go and my main courses are almost done okay steam rolling oil bacon and roast work as a team guys but Tessa and his team still have 40 trays of potatoes to roast [Music] three times ten do you like 11 20 yeah the final orders are in from the wings and Lawrence's hard work has paid off his chili is ready [Music] it is nice when they come to pick it up a couple of minutes two minutes the boys are pulling out all the stops this has been a massive task and I think I may have a team at last yeah we're ready we're ready concentrate don't start shouting over each other roast potatoes one wreck Ed him see if he was at work that pain would equal money come on I need to be calling g-wing for their tea in a minute [Music] [Applause] for 800 people I'm off to g-wing to find out what our customers think it looks better than the last time yeah I can see onions on top last time it was just black color all right on a proper onion gravy yeah you can see the difference foreign [Applause] we set them a task I didn't think it was possible to pull it off and I was slightly concerned that they were going to shy away from six seven eight hour day they've been on their feet for 10 hours and it's been a long one but it's gone it's gone well God they were Lively huh unfortunately it's not all good news back at the kitchen there's been a serious incident right guys let's go t Lawrence I need you for two minutes please seriously guys this is where I think that I've been let down today because I've just been told that we've found this in the dressing room and someone's been nicking onions chilies and garlic look look guys no no really yeah it makes me feel stupid we cannot steal from the kitchen anyone who does this belong to Optimus yeah I wouldn't stay in it I just took some onions okay I thought they were spit so I'll talk to somebody okay who else took it apologize thank you we cannot take anything out of the kitchen next week it'll be a knife no Chuck we stop now I just saw it as a bit of any other side of the prayer look at me so I can cook in cooking myself that gets me into serious [ __ ] but you're letting me down and you let your team down it's dealt with yeah let's move on yeah I wasn't thinking I just thought there was extras yeah what I don't want to do now is falling out and argue with each other that's the problem they get one little issue and it becomes massive and they flip what embarrassments [Music] once the rowing starts No One banks down this lot will argue about anything yeah hey guys guys let's finish on the high let's finish let's not waste 10 hours of graft I can't believe after all their great teamwork and success my brigade's falling apart in front of my eyes I'm finished that's it there were some good workers there today I mean some really good workers and the ones I thought weren't gonna work and stay focused did you however a barrel in many ways because I could I could be sick sure within a 30 second argument and that's that's the knife edge my biggest problem is going to be keeping the team together that's where I that's where I've got my work cut out because there's so many feisty insecure characters that is almost built on a stack of cards foreign [Music] I'll just turn that off thank you I've given myself six months in Brixton prison to set up a pilot business thank you [Music] my hope to try and get prisoners cooking on the inside the cell on the outside [Music] here we go again but I'm handcuffed before I even start there's six lock Gates between me and my production kitchen and I haven't got the keys it's harder being a control freak because everything you do in the kitchen you're in charge and you control off here it's stay in control of you that's the big difference [Music] I want to see if prisoners can pay something back so to get them earning I'm going to try and set up a catering business Behind Bars [Music] out of the 800 men locked up in Brixton I've chosen 12 bad boys for my Brigade I'm not really a troublemaker you know I'm a kind of a good person that's what I think but obviously people take me the wrong way in it like like Mama and you have a like me you hate man [Music] [Music] it's pretty bad in the mornings because he don't get a battle like nah I've been taking drugs for so many years from a heart I mean I want to stay clean but it's not as easy as you get out and it's hard to say drink [Music] it's taken 45 minutes to get through six locked doors and finally make it into my new kitchen thank you [Music] this is it this is where it's all gonna happen I mean this is the engine room on my prison business and those prisoners are going to be working their asses off in here [Music] but what chance do I stand of getting a full day's work out of convicted criminals so not here for no reason they some of these people are dangerous so he's got to he's got to be careful like very reaction rate they don't stop and think they're just going to stand there and argue the toss and this is where the anti goes up and up and up [Music] one of my Brigade who likes to up the ante is Jerome Samuels I've got a bad reputation in it I've gone on basic and matcha and Route officers in it it's people like that that are against you this one is in your failed for continually disrespecting officers on a-wing he's been put onto a basic routine which means losing valued privileges on the wing it'll be good he's come to you sorry and the one that hurts most is no TV see in prison what that I don't see it's a good thing listen be in your secret having smuggled a TV set into his basic cell is clear Jerome doesn't care about Authority God help me they got pressures from the outside pressures of Courts pressures have been in prison that's why our job is talking to people if I thought it was impossible don't think I could do my job I've got to believe that there's hope that you can actually make some sort of difference before I can set up a business I've got to teach my Brigade to cook but running a kitchen in a prison means getting my head around a whole new level of security so I've got my belt of keys can I get rid of this [ __ ] whistle sorry I mean I mean ah you have to keep it on because something happened okay so you have to keep hold of the whistle prisoners have to use knives to become chefs and the governor has agreed to let them have their own sets but under strict conditions at the end of the session you must account for these tools in the hands of someone who intends to do some damage to another person that is one Lethal Weapon protect me as well as the prisoners access to the knives will be strictly controlled at all times and this has to stay locked every time right yeah okay thank you worryingly for me the one thing I haven't got is the key to the exit let's go let me show you thank you I'm starting to feel like the prisoners aren't the only ones who are banged up morning morning you good yeah you're well yeah yeah the last time this lot worked together it almost fell apart right guys hats on please so I want to make a few things clear my kitchen my rules every time you walk through those doors understand we're coming here to what we cannot start pissing around joking around when we piss around and the job's not getting done you're gonna hear me guys right this is where I'm up against it here these things if one of those goes missing this place can get shut down in minutes and if somebody does that to me to the team I'm going to be so pissed off okay right all of you get into Pairs and find a section if this lot are going to graft alongside me they need to know how to cook yeah man but even making a simple soup and baking bread is an uphill struggle one desert smooth yeah one little boy who are onto one desert's food yeah so we're looking for two liters so it's too smooth it is and we can do it yeah I mean we've got this opportunity and we can do it hold me actually does change my life isn't it like where I'll get the qualification I come out and get a job like bam Straight Like That in it I feel hot it feels hard no one's wrong you stop me [Music] no I need a Mr White for healthcare Mr Wyatt so how long would it be it'd hopefully just be about 10 minutes okay you know they're Keen to learn but everything's rigid in here and they get taken away when they're called upon Paul White's a recovering heroin addict [Music] a staggering six to 62 percent of prisoners start their sentences as drug users Paul can't get through the day without a dose of methadone started taking her room when I was at 16 17. then start taking the correct towards 23. that's when things got really out of control and you don't start trading drugs thinking yeah I'm gonna be a junkie you know I think you can control it at 16 Paul wanted to be a chef but only lasted a few months at Cajun College the biggest mistake of my life taking drugs now I've got the keys for that [ __ ] it now why is the door locked why can't we just have the [ __ ] door open prisoners in it prisoners or not this systems do my nutting what he's doing is just screwing up any chance of getting anything done efficiently and what's gonna be like if we do go into production and we are busy I mean opening a locker placard for a chopping board no ladles because they're not etched I mean what are these guys are going to do with a chopping board Lawrence number six where's your box it's the moment of truth time to get the knives out it's a chopping knife yeah if you're going to make any money out of this kitchen my Brigade have to have the tools to do the job I'll figure out be careful however dangerous they may be [Music] Ricardo yeah next number yes I wish you guys were just internet fraud not gun crimes you got internet fraud I can have the whole thing open every day no one's here to try and play around with knives as if they want to use the knife or be miscellaneous or deny for anything like that now it's a bit stupid I think I understand it in knives but in the kitchen in this kitchen I've got criminals not chefs one of them Lawrence Gibbons has got a list of convictions as long as my arm my first thing was robbing post offices I went to metal man I needed some money going on and he said when I was your age how's that Robin Banks and when I got arrested and I was in Canterbury prison on demands oh man come up on a visit only punched me straight in the nose he said I'll never tell if you get caught did I [ __ ] idiot [Music] I've seen him weren't bloody good I mean you can grabs but he has a temper I mean a big temper guys taste as well don't forget yeah no one's tasting yeah for this business to work all my Brigade have got to become a team but Lawrence can't seem to work alongside Renee Smith [Music] seriously can't Too Much Charlie too much work that's a little bit salty or not he said Charlie did so Charlie [ __ ] about that level [Music] sometimes when you work on a wing the atmosphere changes and it's a very subtle change it feels unsettled the place can erupt sometimes it's over the slightest thing [Music] yeah yeah come on come on I'll smash your pieces okay oh [Music] I'm in Brixton prison trying to get these prisoners working guys taste as well don't forget yeah no one's tasting but tempers are already reaching boiling point an explosive argument between Lawrence and Renee about their workspace has brought the kitchen to a standstill [Music] I don't know what that's all about just messed up my whole vibe today mate listen guys we're one hour into this We're not gonna fight No One's Gonna fight in here we've got to keep it together I've got to face facts I took a gamble on Lawrence Gibbons but it hasn't paid off when there's knives around I just can't take a risk on someone who is so aggressive hello Lawrence please do you regret it I think I've done Marvel well six months ago I'd have jumped all over him so I've walked away from him and I think that's the best thing I've done for him is to walk away from him ignore him I suppose I'm more pissed off that here we are so early on and you fly off the handle being spoke to Bonnie didn't like him like that I know but we're under more [ __ ] pressure last time cooking for the prison and you held your own that's what I'm more pissed away that's all well I'm gonna ask you to leave the course what's up Schuman tightly up to you man for me it's a missed opportunity I know it's all the best but I'm certain it's for the good of the Brigade is our team player bloody frustrated and a great shame because when he puts his head down he can graft [Music] now come on guys now he runs [ __ ] locked out that's the map set all right the bullets lovely back in my kitchen all the knives have been handed in but there's a serious problem I eat a potato peeler in here the blade of a potato peeler is as dangerous as a knife and in the wrong hands could be used as a Lethal Weapon so they'll manufacture tools from anything from chair Lakes they might sharpen the ends they'll find toothbrushes they'll maybe put a couple of razor blades on the ends they're usually two blades and they're usually just slightly separated so when they do cut it's hard to sew back up again [Music] hey man [Music] no one can go no one can go to the bathroom until that's found foreign three hours into the day and now my kitchen's in lockdown what a disaster yeah five and large acting the way he did and kicking off and then now speed peeler joins there's a blade missing that's the kind of [ __ ] we could be in and no one knows where it is [Music] all through this kitchen but now Security's been called in taken over with batter Leaf because the peel is gone and everyone's been searched now rigorously because yeah because where it might end up basically the tool if it was taken apart and reassembled in a different fashion there it could be a dangerous weapon [Music] Jesus it's the next morning and my kitchen has been well and truly turned over bloody hell my team thought they had counted out 12 peelers that was our mistake curity strip searched the prisoners and only then checked the Infantry to discover there were only ever 11 peelers it stresses the fact that this is the consequences of us making a mistake I suppose we got to it quick before this trip before the search security Cameron shut us down everyone's you know clothes off and it's like oh no and so you know that's ah [ __ ] up I'm nervous yeah we've got Street search oh strips naked yeah you may not want to directly say it to us but the eyes don't lie yeah the Sun the eyes don't lie and the attitude we got yesterday is like you know some FIFA bastards yeah right now we're supposed to behave like what like training chefs in it but we got treated like criminals in in the kitchen because my prisoners that's what it is if it was in the normal kitchen on the outside missing [ __ ] it buy a new one foreign Gents my teammate accounting error but I think security should have checked the Infantry before the strip search for the sake of my business I've got to get the guys back on side and that means facing up to our mistakes right listen first of all yeah I'm going to apologize for the humiliation we didn't lose a peeler yeah 11 came in we should have double checked anyone got anything else to say about it get a book all right then I'm depending on these guys to work alongside me and after this cock-up I really owe them only knife vegetable knife right don't cut yourself we need a money making product that can launch this business so while they carry on learning with my assistant G I'm off to test out some recipes [Music] I've got a hunch that combining some childhood favorites of mine might just give us the edge lemon curds for me growing up with all that little bit of luxury and it tastes delicious so first up a classic with a Twist lemon curd treacle tart Jamie into the oven yeah yeah carefully I got a trailer for it okay why do you want to do the hard way huh and using the lemon curd base again for a different spin on a Bakewell it's kind of stuff for me that I grew up with but mum used to run a little tea house called the cobweb Tea House restaurant and the only thing I ever wanted was either carrot cake Bagel tart or triple tart it was so delicious it may work it may not work it may be too lemony you never know unless you try so thank you cucumbers prawns basketball yes really how long for that child the bakewell's not quite the unique taste I'm looking for the product I feel could have selling power is the lemon chicken tart [ __ ] delicious sorry lemon curd it just gives that double double deliciousness I mean honestly it's Rich it's creamy and it's just wow that works I think this tart is the kind of standout product we need to build a business on so today I'm taking my biggest gamble yet I'm not only going to put the tart to the test so it's a hundred little loaves we'll cut them in half uh scones 100. I want to take advantage of everything the boys have learned to bake so far and sell it all in bulk to the public yeah we've got the best kitchen in Brixton here just gotta get fired up everything's got to be full if all these ovens are full in an hour's time they'll you know I'll be a little bit more relaxed when you go buy this it's for prisoners or shouldn't be given a chance especially with the crime rate that it supposedly is that good luck right guys come around please quickly come around come around listen we're gonna be setting up an opening for the first time yeah a pop-up Bakery everything we produce today is going to be sold to the public and I need to leave here with a van full not of prisoners but of Tarts I'm serious I need to get this stuff out of it I'm thinking bad boys Bakery what do the lads think ruin my tops have a tati party it's a [ __ ] Cake Shop not Ann Summers huh made by hmp Brixton inmate tarts yeah Nick these I'll cut your [ __ ] hands off Acres I love that idea or bad boy bakery but this is no BS now we are going out and we are facing the British public and we are going to be telling them everything you buy here has been made by prisoners okay so the Bad Boys Bakery is born let's get work excited excited okay good let's go guys yeah [Music] don't necessarily want to be bad people but it's about changing and by us doing this gives us that bit of hope that we believe we can get a job [Music] so we can't afford any mistakes because everything they make you know I've got to get a return on it don't throw any pastry away guys yeah every time we throw pastry away we're throwing money in the bin to make sure we draw in the customers I want the prisoners themselves to drum up some business so I need you to put a phone call in tonight mum Auntie tell him to get down this is 22 year old Jerome Samuels first time in an adult jail but he's been in and out of trouble all his life how old when you first hit the streets 12 12. have you been inside the young offenders yeah where all killed uh-huh my life's nothing but crap in it like from a young age isn't it when I was young in it my dad died then my granddad Dad I see my granddades face down in it burnt me in it and obviously I just thought you know what [ __ ] this I give up I ain't got nothing to lose no more like my mom and I was shot at me you wouldn't shout you just give me the look you you wouldn't you wouldn't do it again like to stop when he was gone he was feeling like right they have no luck since being in Brixton the prison authorities have been unhappy about Jerome's Behavior today things have stepped up again he's been called to a disciplinary hearing I need a company once again the officer watching now trust me I'll finish that [Music] um make sure it's hard for yourself why don't they just keep it shut Jane but Authority seems to mean nothing to Jerome tore it up senior officer Andy Cole has had enough so I'm saying though you don't like the other boy Jerome is charged with verbally abusing a female officer and if found guilty he could be kicked out of my business for good one of the things we know this often is that we're usually the first sort of adults that I've ever said no to them he's not the worst by far but he has to realize that he was an adult establishment and he's got to act like an adult today's hearing is in front of wing Governor Neil Craig a6191 a.m Samuels well I'm Governor Craig hearing this this morning okay you've been charged on the prison rule 51 paragraph 20 that used threatening abusive or insulting words of behavior and how do you plead to that charge and do you want any help with this hearing yes sir yes noogle representation in it right you have asked for legal advice I'm going to remind it for a week okay thank you thank you sir the case is adjourned so for now Jerome stays and my Workforce is still up to strength for the task ahead oh touch play gang Magna oh [Music] I'm in Brixton prison trying to get prisoners out of their cells and working tomorrow my bad boys Bakery starts selling cakes bread and Tarts to the UK public for the first time in our one day only pop-up shop what do you have 20 hole yeah let's go heading up the bakery section is Anthony Kelly who is clearly a natural born seller Anthony who are you gonna phone later I like but I mean now yeah eight months clean you know about that I've got two boys myself 15 levels I'm embarrassed about it while I've lived my life and you know what that shame in that guilt has made me change I mean living the wild life stuck in a diving away it's all fake it's all bollocks it's all false I've took the first step by changing the knee I'm doing tape I've got to take responsibility for my actions so I've got three lovely kids it's about the time I [ __ ] grew up and [ __ ] got a pair of bollocks uh Anthony I just can't how many loaves are there please with the ovens fired up the kitchen's really delivering on bread and scones third batch how many you made about seven seven eight but there's a major problem with the lemon tree called Tarts oh [ __ ] now I mean honestly I mean honestly who lined this look they'll never cook [ __ ] what a waste of time I didn't anticipate that mass-producing these Tarts would be so difficult and this is supposed to be the centerpiece product of the bad boys Bakery absolute [ __ ] disaster that's what's going on total waste of time effort money disaster haven't got one tart cooked we'll be going for three hours everybody else has been producing great scones great bread at the back and here we're looking we're looking stupid then the bomb drops I've been called to see Jerome's senior officer on a-wing Andy Cole yeah he wants to have a word because he wants to kick show him off the course never ending what's up discipline new hearing may have been delayed for a week but Mr Cole has his own opinion of what should happen to Jerome on the discipline side he is an absolute nightmare he is on basic um is so disrespectful to stuff and when he comes back on the wing he's demanding this demanding that right it's just unfortunate what you're telling me I totally respect but I don't see any of that to that level inside that kitchen No but from my point of view as a discipline so you know officer we would like him removed if he was 32 and he'd been around the block a few times I would 100 agree with you get him out of there what I would like to ask for it's just a bit more time just to convince you and I'll have a word with him he needs to knuckle down and he can't walk in here like King dick and he can't start treating the officers like he's Untouchable he's going to be shown it's not acceptable I'm gonna make Jerome my personal project I'm gonna stick my neck out and keep him in the kitchen but I hope it works out for you come back and let's catch it Mr cult he thinks he's a big privilege but if we don't give these guys a chance and tolerate that for a certain amount of time in order to get through this this system's ever going to change not in this prison not in any prison so it's just I was [ __ ] annoying I mean it really is annoying [Music] what do they say you are making it hard they want you off the course and I don't want you off the course we can't go back on that wing and act like King dick just but listen to me you get kicked off this then where do we go don't fight against them it's the system right okay let's go I've been sticking my neck out for this lot all along but they keep letting me down so that tarp goes back in there yeah where's that tart you wet it honestly guys I mean you you make it difficult for me why did you eat it all I've got was um chips for my lunch who else has eaten the Tarts you've been one as well why do you want so you think stuff in your face is better than selling it and getting money in here to keep you in here it's the first rule of business don't eat your profits I need those orders you've eaten them you've I didn't expect that from you I didn't expect that from you the rule I asked don't eat anything every step of the way it keeps flooding back to me I'm trying to set up a business with a bunch of criminals okay get out of here make those calls please okay I'll see in the morning these guys better not let me down the baking might be finished but tomorrow they've got 300 cakes to ice thank you [Music] [Music] two hours until the opening of the bakery and my bad boys have got in touch with their feminine side that's nice a little love heart out smiles yeah a bit romantic um yeah but there's always one who has to go too far lick me who put link me on a cake do you want someone to lick you stand it Jesus Christ almighty let's go Adam where's uh Jerome I think you've been uh suspended for today what happened you got suspended this morning yeah it's China what was the screws thing is he's giving all the stuff that's stupid where is he now in his self on a day like today no one's even bothered to tell me they're keeping Jerome on the wing I need to know what's happening with my own kitchen workers so I'm back on a-wing to see Senior Officer Cole Mr Cole for me is getting more and more uh difficult this morning we sent to a bakery and you know I've got over a thousand items to sell I walked in this morning and there's um there's no Jerome I can't run a business in there when you guys are just pulling people out and I'm none the wiser um I understand that but we don't pull them out they pull themselves out they pull themselves up by their behavior don't they I've sat down with him right I've explained to him I've talked to him I've taken his issues on board I've gone through the system and helped him so in a way you're writing him off yes sorry you drop yourself off don't you but I I'm gonna fight for it because I can't see that behavior in the kitchen which I think is more of a dangerous environment when he's around knives around other individuals and the discipline when he toes the line he actually he Knuckles down that's what you don't see and that's my frustration but now I'm a man down a busy day and okay because as far as lay Wings concerned it stays on basically thank you thank you take care thank you [Music] that's where it's so wrong because no he's on basic he's out of the course and he shouldn't be on there in the first place well how are you ever going to change these young guys mindset how are you ever going to get into them to he's young enough to be taught that's the frustrating thing it's not Lawrence Gibbons you know it's he's 22. literally foreign nice nice nice today we start selling on the Great British High Street for the first time but there's yet another hurdle before I can deliver all this stuff to my pop-up Bakery so later on we gotta get an x-ray what do you mean x-rays what happens if we've lost a nut or a bolt and it's fallen in one of these Jesus and can we just forget about that for now or do we have to go no no we're doing it properly yeah no but there's no nuts and bolts here at the end of the day we're in one of our Majesty's prisons we have systems that we have to go by no matter who it's for we do not change the systems for anybody else uh that was that trolley nearby just coming thank you pizza boxes so all the [ __ ] work that's gone in so it's time to make my Escape aided and abetted by prison head chef my accomplice Daryl Hatfield that'd be brilliant this is crazy you know that this is absolutely ludicrust check there's no bolts and nuts and guns and dowels them till lunch show some flexibility going to the supermarket is bad enough but [ __ ] me this is ridiculous this takes the biscuit every single cake and tart has to be x-rayed I'm going through two [Music] morning two more doors to go two are out man the logistics the logistics bloody hell there's times like this you really do know you're in a prison Island they know come through reverse up please come on come on girl then honestly [Music] see you later all right now hello searches again give me two seconds hello goodbye um it's been x-rayed sir yeah man Daryl are you going to explain sir with my shop opening in half an hour it'd be quicker to Tunnel our way out what a [ __ ] palava [Music] 5 000 red rolls or treat the Tarts out there a day [Music] Jesus [Music] it's amazing how good the food looks outside the prison I mean it's extraordinary listen we're moving a pop-up but yeah I mean I'm uh I'm hoping this stuff goes look at it [Music] amazing lemon curd drinks by the local brics prison and they hear that you're working with my son you also yes Jerome Samuels I'm his mother my God what a boy when he focuses he puts his head down and he gets stuck in but from Little he's always he's always like booking in the kitchen over anything I just think he's just mixed with the wrong company right and that's why it's where he is but you know yeah um I walked in this morning uh bad news he's been suspended it was some some verbal abuse giving up as good as they get I know that for a fact I suppose what I don't want to do is break that pattern he's in the course you know he's focusing when was the last time I went to see him um that's something I don't really do do not thinking he needs to see you well he speaks to me all the time he can write to me it's not somewhere that I would like to be on a regular basis no it's not for me this is Samuels thank you for coming I appreciate it any messages for him I mean I'm gonna kick his ass when I see him tonight it is to ship himself up get himself together yeah tell him no I will tell him I will tell him two of these I was worried that people wouldn't want to eat prison made food but the bad boy's bakery name seems to be pulling in the punters very creative they are very creative aren't they and how does it make you feel they're made by prisoners local that's cool one idea yeah that's cool it doesn't put you off [Music] I know people that are in prison and stuff and I think it's you know life's the learning and if they can go in there and educate themselves and learn new skills then why not it's lots of delicious little trick or Tarts are Delicious lemon curd at the bottom I was expecting more more negativity it's a slime off the shelf I mean really good but positive feedback hello how are you Paul White's been this month for coming like any addict's mum Christine Wyatt has felt helpless watching her son Paul ruin his life through heroin do you think is that enough you had enough yeah um maybe something like this might just bring out yeah I have a little brother that's in a position uh who's younger than me and I see the work that my mum does in terms of trying to keep him on that now at the end of the day she's gonna put her hands up and say we can't do any more please Focus there yeah he's very focused actually that'll be what he finds to keep him on the street any message from him I love him tell him I will do that with pleasure it's a good turnout from the prisoners mums and it looks like Anthony Kelly's call home to his girlfriend Tara has paid off is this his little lady you stop dad from Talking any ideas no mate which one would you like this one here certainly thank you mate a handshake it's a proper man's handshake you know that message for Dad what should I tell him quickly Happy Valentine's Dad thank you good to see you take care thank you that's when it hits home when you see uh 11 year old kid like that Jimmy this one here that was personally made by Anthony Kelly as one of his Shop's got another three hours trading but I need to get back and let my kitchen Brigade know that all their hard work has paid off Bad Boy Bakery bad boys of Brixton bad boys are Brixton yeah [Music] thank you Miss by the time I get back the wings are locked down do you want to have a quick catch up with the boys do you mind thank you hello guys listen they flew off the shelves even the large tasks we're going as well 10 quid each well done everyone who came in there I said how does that make you feel yeah at this yeah was made by prison I said you know what we are so glad they're doing something yeah yeah we're so glad I just got sat there yeah do nothing yeah we made over 300 pounds in four hours that's profit I've got a weekend a message from Josh [Music] without projects like this we're just locking people up they are just people at the end of the day albeit that they've uh committed crime and they're now in prison but they are still human beings with feelings as well we've got to try it and make a difference after today I can see my baby's got a real future here but for one on my team it's the end Jerome Samuel's Behavior has finally seen him kicked out of my Brigade so frustrating you know I had him on that line that straight now yes it wasn't for months years but he found something and got a little glimmer of bang I want that I know he's not an angel we know that but is it right thrown back of herself forget about him no it's not uh right how are you all right what's going on what's going on you tell me what's going on you've been
