'Doing Time - Verdict'
(Channel 4, 9 to 10pm)
This three-part series tells the stories of the prisoners' children and their families as they struggle to come to terms with an enforced separation. Here two young mothers wait to hear if they will be sent to prison. One is an habitual burglar who has been in and out of prison since her teens. In the past her two children were too young to understand that their mother was in prison, but now, aged five and nine, they are much more aware of the prolonged absences, prison visits and taunting at school. The other mother knows that a prison sentence will result in her daughter going into care.
