TV FAVOURITE Ross Kemp has spent a week inside Glasgow’s most notorious prison, Barlinnie.
The actor turned investigative journalist was in the East End prison as part of the new ITV/STV show, Ross Kemp in Jail - Inside Barlinnie.
Kemp, who rose to fame playing Grant Mitchell in the BBC One soap Eastenders, was given unprecedented access to the Riddrie-based prison, which mainly houses prisoners who are either on remand or serving a sentence less than four years.
The programme will show Kemp meeting both prisoners and prison officers.
He will explore the history of the prison and its dark past which included the execution of 10 men, as featured in the current Evening Times series, Hanged at Barlinnie, which is published every Friday and Saturday.
Kemp, 53, also joins lifers as they prepare for freedom, works in the jail’s kitchen and meets repeat offenders who struggle to end their life of crime.
He said: “I’m delighted to be working with ITV and STV Productions on a documentary about HMP Barlinnie in Glasgow.
“I’m looking forward to spending time not only with the inmates but also with the prison officers and attempting to get to the heart of what makes this iconic prison tick and trying to understand why so many who leave prison, often return.”
The new programme is expected to be show in the Autumn.
Kemp’s popularity has grew since leaving Eastenders’ thanks to several documentary series.
He produced a series called Ross Kemp on Gangs which explored the impact of modern gang culture in the UK and around the world.
He followed that up with documentaries including in Afghanistan, in Search of Pirates, Battle for the Amazon and Ross Kemp: Extreme World.
In 2012, he filmed Extreme World in Glasgow and reportedly said the city was one of the toughest he has ever been to.
From experience he would not last 5mins in here... Eh I mean in there....
Defo, makes a mockery of other 'celebs' like danny dyerShould be a good watch. He's certainly got balls of steel with some of the situations he puts himself in and places he goes to.

Is she a bloke?His witch of an ex-wife should be in there
Don't get the hype with Bar L
Had a mate who did a bit of time there.
He said there in cell almost 24 hours a day basically unless you worked.
Eat in the cell, out for shower and to pick up food.
Couple of hours a week socialising / exercise.
Also said Sky and DVD players in cells due to Lockerbie bomber.
Can't be that hard surely?
Had to be the toes on the telly that swung it for him"In 2012, he filmed Extreme World in Glasgow and reportedly said the city was one of the toughest he has ever been to."
Given the dodggy cities around the globe he's visited, I doubt that very much.
Of course I'm not.. Oft lights out night night all.You posting live from Bar-L?
Worked with a guy who done a wee bit in Bar-L.
When he came out(attempted murder) he got his job back where I worked. Made out it was great playstation in the cell at night, chocolate lottery on Saturday, bingo some other night, pool all day, the gym and a brand new set of teeth.
It was so good he killed himself when it looked like he was going back inside.
Actually someone else I worked with is up next week for murder so he'll probably be heading that way too.
