1
00:00:01,260 --> 00:00:08,233
I come from a rough backround and I saw a lot of shit growing up

2
00:00:08,233 --> 00:00:12,482
To see the devastation on my Mum's face when she came back from young offenders prison

3
00:00:12,482 --> 00:00:16,156
to wish my little brother happy birthday when he was eighteen. Then he progressed to a big prison.

4
00:00:16,156 --> 00:00:23,488
I know the human cost of prison,

5
00:00:23,488 --> 00:00:29,650
but what frustrates me is that the taxpayer forks out thirty eight grand a year to keep each

6
00:00:29,650 --> 00:00:33,852
of Britain's eighty eight thousand prisoners banged up.

7
00:00:33,852 --> 00:00:35,293
Yet only ten percent of them do any

8
00:00:35,293 --> 00:00:38,405
full time work.

9
00:00:38,405 --> 00:00:42,179
My plans pretty straight forward. It's about getting them working, off their ass

10
00:00:42,179 --> 00:00:46,773
and then working.

11
00:00:46,773 --> 00:00:49,442
Hey Gordon Ramsay, what's going on?

12
00:00:49,442 --> 00:00:52,111
I'm going to try to set up a business behind bars

13
00:00:52,111 --> 00:00:54,782
getting prisoners cooking on the inside to sell on the outside

14
00:00:54,782 --> 00:00:59,735
we are going to make some fairy cakes (prisoners laughing)

15
00:00:59,735 --> 00:01:01,019
whats the secret of a good fairy cake?

16
00:01:01,019 --> 00:01:02,571
I haven't a fucking clue, but I like em'

17
00:01:02,571 --> 00:01:09,148
I've given myself six months inside one of Britain's toughest prisons.

18
00:01:09,148 --> 00:01:14,375
I'll smash you to pieces.

19
00:01:14,375 --> 00:01:18,901
to see if I can get the inmates working, and earning

20
00:01:18,901 --> 00:01:23,891
who else has eaten the tarts - you've eaten one as well, this is an absolute joke

21
00:01:23,891 --> 00:01:27,823
but the prisionrs aren't the only ones I'm fighting

22
00:01:27,823 --> 00:01:30,093
the system has to come first

23
00:01:30,093 --> 00:01:33,100
if he really messes up - he'll be out.

24
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:34,693
this is so frustrating.

25
00:01:34,693 --> 00:01:38,009
Scoch egg? This is made by prisoners local in Brixton

26
00:01:38,009 --> 00:01:40,169
(hahah) they can spit in it, they can lay it on the floor, they can do anything

27
00:01:40,169 --> 00:01:45,373
Gordon is in for a shock, absolutely

28
00:01:45,373 --> 00:01:50,692
maybe I'm the next Gordon Ramsay, maybe I'm the black gordon ramsay (laughs)

29
00:01:50,692 --> 00:01:55,572
learning to become a great cook, a good cook, an average cook, it takes time

30
00:01:55,572 --> 00:01:58,129
stick your job up your ass

31
00:01:58,129 --> 00:02:06,293
if it's one thing these guys have got on their side it's time.

32
00:02:06,293 --> 00:02:11,052
I've never been in a proper prison

33
00:02:11,052 --> 00:02:12,242
if anything kicks off

34
00:02:12,242 --> 00:02:14,408
and it goes a little bit pear shaped

35
00:02:14,408 --> 00:02:18,854
it's not going to be a friendly place to be in the middle of

36
00:02:18,854 --> 00:02:21,575
Britain's prison population is exploding

37
00:02:21,575 --> 00:02:23,532
it's increased by twenty two thousand in the

38
00:02:23,532 --> 00:02:26,170
last deacade

39
00:02:26,170 --> 00:02:29,809
it cost almost two billion a year

40
00:02:29,809 --> 00:02:32,659
it just seems a complete waste

41
00:02:32,659 --> 00:02:35,653
the amount of money that we spend to keep these guys in there

42
00:02:35,653 --> 00:02:38,453
this is costing us a fortune

43
00:02:38,453 --> 00:02:40,452
there are some prison work schemes

44
00:02:40,452 --> 00:02:42,613
the government say they want to create more

45
00:02:42,613 --> 00:02:44,181
but in cash strapped Britain

46
00:02:44,181 --> 00:02:45,289
few offenders graft

47
00:02:45,289 --> 00:02:48,243
full time to pay anything back

48
00:02:48,243 --> 00:02:49,825
the whole purpose of this

49
00:02:49,825 --> 00:02:50,740
is to get in there

50
00:02:50,740 --> 00:02:55,132
set up a business and to get them grafted

51
00:02:55,132 --> 00:02:57,102
so I'm giving my time and energy

52
00:02:57,102 --> 00:02:57,368
to see if I can get offenders earning

53
00:02:57,368 --> 00:03:04,112
hi it's gordon ramsay

54
00:03:04,112 --> 00:03:05,950
its taken nine months to persuade the ministry of justice

55
00:03:05,950 --> 00:03:09,201
to let me try to set up my pilot business

56
00:03:09,201 --> 00:03:13,567
in the notorious hmp brixton

57
00:03:13,567 --> 00:03:23,435
look at the size of that wall

58
00:03:23,435 --> 00:03:25,564
the governor has put the word out about my idea

59
00:03:25,564 --> 00:03:27,836
and a few of the prisoners are curious about my plan

60
00:03:27,836 --> 00:03:30,217
to cook on the inside and sell on the outside

61
00:03:30,217 --> 00:03:39,813
ID - do you have a mobile phone and car keys? Mobile phone, yeah.

62
00:03:39,813 --> 00:03:42,373
Brixton is a victorian category b prison with eight hundred inmates

63
00:03:42,373 --> 00:03:45,726
locked up for anything from shoplifting to murder

64
00:03:45,726 --> 00:03:54,809
Mr Ramsay - morning -Mark Westguarth, how are you doing welcome to Brixton ok

65
00:03:54,809 --> 00:03:59,918
you handed all your personal items in to the gate there? yea phone and everything. Phone and everything like that

66
00:03:59,918 --> 00:04:04,910
I remind you to do that every day that you come, certainly of corse. ok, let's go inside

67
00:04:04,910 --> 00:04:11,959
Officer Mark Westguarth, is taking me in to the heart of the prison

68
00:04:11,959 --> 00:04:23,148
here the prisoners are kept in their cells up to 21 hours of the day

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If he tries to muck me up, by putting me in one of his plays, I want none of that, no problem. I don't need to be made fun of by him, or anybody.

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if he tries to muck me up by putting on one of his plays

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't want none of that, I don't need to be made fun of by him, or anyone else

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a lot of these people believe that they are going to do this

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and their life is going to dramatically change

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
do you?

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
No I don't

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what do I think about Ramsay?

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He can be a bit fierce with people that he's working with

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
yea, that's what I think of him (laughs)

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think he will loose a few people along the way

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's how it goes

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
only the strong survive

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hey Gordon Ramsay, whats going on? are you scared Mr. Gordon Ramsay?

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the prisoners are housed in five separate wings

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have no idea who I'm going to be working with
