The Officers, Part Two: Thirty-Eight Weeks

When I tell people I'm a Prison Officer they always say 'Why the hell would anyone want to do that' and so, I tell them. James Fritz shifts the focus to Officer Rihanna Campbell.

James Fritz's award winning drama series continues. Prison Officer Rihanna Campbell has been shown the ropes but is under pressure. She is the new key worker to Steven, a prisoner who can be challenging. Can a young, poorly paid and poorly trained officer perform miracles or will she be broken by a system that is struggling to cope with overcrowding, under staffing and lack of funding.
