Goodyear, a guard who looks after the young inmates, is tough, but fair-minded, and urges the youngsters to play by the rules and quietly serve their time so they can earn a second chance on the outside. The new inmates have to deal with young men who have been in lockup for a while, many of whom have become accustomed to the violence and intimidation of life behind bars. Banks is a hard case who thrives on bullying those smaller and more vulnerable than himself. Once he targets Butch, the new inmate starts down a path of retribution from which there is no return.Actors

He buries her in his flat block's communal garden, where a dog uncovers one of his previous victims.
