Crime and Punishment viewers were flabbergasted tonight when a convict expressed his outrage that he was being made to miss Love Island due to a raid on his cell.

In Monday night’s episode of the Channel 4 documentary series, a group of prison officers were seen restraining one inmate at HMP Winchester outside his cell, which was being raided for drugs like spice and contraband including mobile phones.

But it seemed the whole raid was a real inconvenience for the inmate who ordered the officers to speed up their search so he could ‘watch Love Island in peace’.

As his mattress and other belongings were being flipped over, the man said furiously: ‘I got a programme to watch, 9 o’clock. Come on hurry up man.

‘I’m just trying to watch Love Island in peace.’

It seems Love Island fever even reached prison this summer.

Needless to say, viewers couldn’t believe what they heard and shared their reactions to the inmate’s TV addiction on Twitter.

One entertained viewer said: ‘You gotta admire the keeness to watch #LoveIsland in Prison eh lol [sic].’

Another quipped: ‘“I’m just trying to watch love island in peace” hun, get a grip, give up your spice and you can get back to Cazza [sic].’

Clearly not a fan of the Love Island dating series, another remarked: ‘I suppose love island is a type of torture.’

Another viewer was furious that the prisoner even had access to a TV, commenting: ‘You shouldn’t even be allowed to watch love island. Such a joke. Shouldn’t even be allowed pen and paper in prison let alone a fucking tv [sic].’

After calming down, the prisoner addressed the spice epidemic in the prison, saying: ‘They can never stop the wave. Obviously we’re going to find a way around the system.

‘We’re just trying to make a living so by locking people up, you’re not doing anything.’

He continued: ‘When you outside they don’t give a f**k about you. Why have we got the highest rate of reoffending in the whole of Europe? 50% of prisoners are all in here on licence recall. One in two is going to come back to jail, it’s just a f****d up system and it’s always going to be like that because them politicians are a bunch of batty boys.’

During their raid, the prison officers discovered a mobile phone stashed in the middle of a pack of biscuits, and one which a prisoner had kept ‘up his backside’.

Crime and Punishment continues on Channel 4 next Monday at 9pm.
