Banged Up was created by Rob Morrison and Mike “Boats” Boateng, who met in 2017 while serving respective sentences in the UK prison system for fraud and drug-dealing.
This was Boateng’s second time behind bars, having previously been involved in a high-profile conviction for match-fixing as a professional footballer.
On his release, they teamed up with Boateng to start Banged Up, with the first series focused exclusively on their own experiences behind bars from arrest to release.
With their first-hand experience of the prison system, you’d be forgiven for thinking that nothing could shock the trio anymore.
