Introduction

A 2003 documentary about the British Army’s military police force.

Outline

Inside the Glasshouse in Colchester is C Block, a prison within a prison, where serious offenders are punished, while the alternative treatment for calming hard boys is a spell tending piglets in the Pig Unit.

Conventional education is available for all soldiers before they leave the services.

During her sentence, Sam Maunder, is the only girl inside, but she learns from her experience before returning to the RAF.

New recruits of 6 Platoon are finding training for RMP tougher than expected, but they stick together, especially when reconstructing a gory traffic accident with theatrical blood for realism.
