Prisoner

Fresh out of training and wanting to make a difference, new guard Sammi arrives at one of Denmark's older prisons, where he finds that stronger inmates dominate the weak, and guards are too understaffed or indifferent to reassert their control.

Under pressure to clean up the prison before the visit of the inspectors, several raids lead to a breakdown in the balance of power between the dominant gangs. Meanwhile, Miriam agrees to pay Asger's debt to a powerful drug dealer.

Miriam is coerced into smuggling drugs into the prison. Benji continues to give Sammi insider information regarding his fellow prisoners, but the cost is high as the status quo is destabilised.

Sammi helps out his snitch Benji by allowing him to phone his girlfriend, Ariana, but Ariana admits to Sammi that she wants to end her relationship with the inmate. Meanwhile, Gert has made the difficult decision to move Torsten into a care home.

Sammi is caught in a dilemma, knowing that if he comes clean about the illegal restraint on an inmate, he will be ostracised by his fellow officers. Miriam, now acting as a mule for Kaled, is unprepared when sniffer dogs are brought into the prison.

As news of the death of a prisoner spreads, the guards prepare for trouble. Meanwhile, Benji is becoming difficult to handle as he waits for a letter from his girlfriend and has a major setback at his parole hearing.
