Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay thinks it's time Britain's prisoners paid their way. There are 88,000 prisoners in the UK and it costs the taxpayer 38,000 pounds to keep each of them locked up for a year. Gordon's given himself six months to set up a successful food business behind bars. His aim: to get prisoners cooking food on the inside to sell on the outside.

Gordon arrives at the notorious HM Prison Brixton, in the hopes of taking non working prisoners and molding them into working cooks. Can Ramsay deal with offenders from murders to a man who was found with a shotgun under his bed?

Now narrowed down to twelve prisoners, Gordon must try to get the pilot prison food program off the ground with members who in thirty seconds could destroy half the team.
