Gordon Behind Bars

"Life changing taste" is a tag from the show. Mr Ramsay goes to work in a prison to get prisoners working. This is about change. Prisoners, with no real sense of direction, are taught that hard work and skills equal pride. Mr Ramsay has his own personal reasons for wanting to help these gentlemen. This show is about redemption for some, and is about rehabilitation for others. Kitchen Nightmares was always one of my favorite shows. This show, might not have the immediate sense of action in drama. However, the emotions triggered by seeiing one rise from the ashes, is more heart felt. There is still more than enough drama to keep us entertained. Thank you Chef Ramsay for changing lives in such a positive way.

Prisons should be abolished, prisoners shouldn't be used as slave labour. It's sick and disturbing that Gordon Ramsay thought this was ever a good idea. I've lost a huge amount of respect for him.

Gordon Ramsay has become so popular with his cooking shows that by now I assume everybody knows who he is; but other than him being a renown chef and successful businessman I really never saw him as more than another "show-biz" rich guy. In my opinion this tv show is not like his usual shows.

This one has profound meaning since it gave prisoners a chance to learn a trade, better themselves in every way; and rejoin society by becoming productive responsible individuals. It would be great if more people could ( and would) donate their time and participate in this kind of productive programs.

I wish Gordon Ramsay could do more shows like this one. It gave me a deeper appreciation for the "real man" behind his "famous persona". I like this Ramsay better.

This is my favorite of his shows! It truly has meaning behind it, and you can't stop watching because it is an interesting show, and you want the prisoners to succeed so badly!

This is the first time I've seen Ramsey in a reality show that actually seems to be real. It's a shame that the series was so short. He was in the prison for 6 months and only got 4 episodes, with a lot of stuff repeated several times.

I first saw "Gordon Behind Bars"when it first aired. After re-watching again, i was surprised that there was not even one single review for this.I never write reviews but "Gordon behind Bars"is to me was personally heart-touching and full of goodwill.No dramatization,heart-endearing&the message that was carried out throughout the 4 episodes made me smile,teary-eyed,and a perquisite yet deep sadness i can relate to with people who don't get a second chance in society and spiral into a never-ending deep hole.

I do enjoy Kitchen Nightmares/Hell's Kitchen and his other TV"reality"shows,but the"staged"feeling was of course always present. Gordon uses his cooking skills to give the opportunity to the inmates in prisons to rehabilitate,no happy endings,no trophies,no shock value,just Gordon being him not being able to control his authority,and making an effort to boost that tiny glimmer of hope in some inmates.

I gave a 8/10 scale based on Gordon's Shows ratings,wished Americans would have enjoyed this more instead of stating this being boring...
