Stuart Carolan is the brain behind the gritty crime drama.
“I talk to an awful lot of people – that’s a big part of it. There’s a huge amount of people I talk to,” he explained to The Sun newspaper.
“Guards, for example, helped me out and I became friends with them. I owe them a huge amount just in terms of getting it right factually.”

The cast and crew are currently gearing up for the fourth series of the show which is due to start filming later this month.
