Short Sharp Shock

Monday, June 17

When football hooligans and other young offenders are sentenced by the courts, what sort of punishment do they get? Panorama has spent three weeks behind the walls at New Hall, where the Government has introduced a tougher regime for young prisoners. Philip Tibenham investigates how tough it is in practice, and whether the offenders really can be deterred from further crime.
