Byline: Sophie Grove
Banged Up," a new U.K. reality show starring David Blunkett (the former British Home secretary who clamped down on youth crime), follows 10 unruly teens whose parents have volunteered them to be locked away. Blunkett sits Simon Cowell-like on a mock parole board. His charges are strip-searched by officers and kept in stark two- by four-meter cells for 14 hours a day. The producers have even thrown a gang of hardened ex-cons into the mix. So far, so crass. Except that Blunkett's tough-love tactics seem to be working: despite two inmates dropping out in the first episode, many of the kids have vowed to live crime-free lives.
