Behind the iron bars and concrete walls of Britain’s prisons, a hidden world thrived—one the outside world was never meant to see. Inmates didn’t just smoke or drink; they built entire economies, hierarchies, and brotherhoods around cigarettes and illicit prison brew.
From the 1960s through the 1990s, cigarettes weren’t just nicotine—they were currency, traded for favours, loyalty, and survival. Homemade hooch, fermented in secret corners, became more than alcohol—it was defiance, connection, and a fleeting taste of freedom.
In this documentary, we uncover:
How cigarettes ruled as the prison’s underground currency
The ritual of smoking and its power to bond enemies or allies
The rise of prison hooch—crude, dangerous, but cherished
Gangs, debts, and power built around smokes and brews
The brutal punishments and eventual decline of this hidden culture
This isn’t just the story of drinks and smokes—it’s the story of resilience, rebellion, and survival behind bars.
