The Lock Up S01E02 - Episode 2

The Lock Up is the place to sober up. Whether you are smashed, steaming or sozzled, alcohol plays a part in a million violent assaults countrywide every year. In the second part of the series, Sgt Rich West, policeman and Football League linesman, calls time on the prisoners who kick off.

When a fight breaks out after a wedding it gets fruity for the custody team as they get a frisking from a guest - a fresh first-timer and mother of two. The sergeant talks down a violent headbanger who gives himself a headache on the cell door. A teenage graffiti artist arrives smashed, and so is his mother's house after he has been on a drunken rampage. And an old regular is still standing after blowing five times over the limit, a level that could have have killed some people.
