Something that caught my attention on television this week, was the BBC documentary, Out of Jail and on the Streets.
This programme aired on BBC1 on the 5th of February, depicting the life of both probation officers and criminals on probation.
Giving audiences an honest insight to what probation officers deal with on a daily basis, for example, dealing with extreme cases of poedophillia.
On the other hand, the documentary shows the lives of criminals whilst on probation.
This part of the programme intrigued me the most.
Criminals such as rapists and poedophiles, were seen talking about their crimes and in some cases, even normalising sexual acts with children and young teenagers.
Although this may disgust many viewers, there will not be a risk of losing viewers.
I was completely and utterly fascinated listening to their perspective on such heinous crimes.
Not only that, but the documentary was extremely emotive. At times, I felt angry then a jump-cut later I was almost in tears.
Something I think a variety of audiences would enjoy watching.
You can catch up on BBC iplayer until the 12th of Feb.
