An up-and-coming detective who's a stickler for the rules has his certainties tested by the brutal realities of everyday prison life when he investigates the suicide of a young inmate. Why does this particular suicide warrant investigation at such a high level and who is really to blame for Hangdog's death?
This gritty drama goes behind prison doors and looks at the unusual process of the investigation of a prison suicide.
In 2012, Cat won a Butler Trust Award, recognising her contribution in improving experiences and opportunities for prisoners during her five years working in prisons.
Produced and Directed by Sharon Sephton.
