hello everyone welcome back to the film insight channel hope you're having a great day today
for today's video we are going to discuss some prisoners that made chef Ramsay emotional do you
know why chef Ramsay felt deeply connected to the prisoners first let's understand the goal behind
chef Ramsay's visit to the prison chef Ramsay was angry about the prison system chef Ramsay
was shocked after learning about the prisoner's lifestyle he believed that it was high time that
prisoners paid back the debt of 38 000 pounds from the taxpayers for their upkeep in the prison in an
interview with guardian weekend magazine chef Ramsay said that he hadn't imagined how simple
things were for prisoners he was surprised by the haven that the inmates created for
themselves while he struggled with the five meal options the prisoners had it without any issue
he found the whole arrangement to be a massive joke chef Ramsay even spoke about his experience
in the brixton prison and its system he said from day one just sat in that waiting room trying to
get in with no phone and then being treated like a piece of [ __ ] everything was going against me
the system was completely screwed and the governor treated me like one of his and i was banging my
head against a brick wall chef Ramsay was also not impressed with some of the prisoners in terms of
their work ethic he added why would they want to come and bust their ass for 10 hours a day when
it was easy for them to do nothing i find that hard to come to terms with chef Ramsay owns over
40 restaurants that earn several michelin stars restaurant gordon Ramsay is one of the few to hold
three michelin stars chef Ramsay is undoubtedly very successful but his life was full of ups and
downs before becoming a celebrity chef Ramsay's childhood was not easy his family had to deal with
constant abuse from his alcoholic father dealt a dysfunctional card my father became an alcoholic
what do i do chef Ramsay's father often became violent with his mother and all the presents he
his brothers and sisters got for their mom would be smashed right in front of their eyes by his
father chef Ramsay also spoke about an incident where the police had to get involved his father
got so violent that the police had today and his mother was admitted to the hospital while
he and his siblings were sent to a children's home from an early age he and his siblings had
to keep switching schools and homes because his father often lost jobs because of his behavior
dealing with his alcoholic and violent father was not the only issue he had his younger brother
ronnie had been struggling with drugs for many years gordon revealed in 2014 that his brother
had been struggling with addiction for years his family tried hard to be at his side most of the
time but ronnie's heroin addiction had always gotten him into trouble and this was not only in
their hometown but also abroad there was a time when chef ramsay had to do something for ronnie
that he had never imagined when their father passed away ronnie refused to attend the funeral
to make him attend chef ramsay persuaded his brother by taking him to a drug dealer
the culinary and restaurant world has seen many drug addicts the chef and food services pressure
has coerced them into drug addictions many people were taken aback when an itv program called gordon
ramsay on cocaine revealed disturbing realities about the chef's business in 2017. the cocaine
documentary by gordon ramsay told that drug usage particularly cocaine is widespread in the industry
another tragedy was when his friend david dempsey passed away because of an overdose however these
tragedies motivated him to teach the prisoners how to cook and earn a living chef ramsay's arrest in
1993 also inspired him to open bad boys bakery he and his friends were out drinking all night
when in the morning his three friends started screwing around in the restrooms of a subway
station and the police officer arrested them after the station master contacted the police
what is bad boys bakery chef ramsay's six months of teaching at the brixton prison and setting up
the business was a huge success though in those six months several situations took a toll on him
of chef ramsey's prisoners for his brigade a couple of them were sent back by the police
officers and two were dismissed as they became increasingly aggressive
of the whole lot we found the following three managed to move chef ramsay jerome samuels
when he was going he was thinking like right they have no luck jerome samuels was one of the 12
candidates that chef ramsay chose for his bakery brigade samuels had been in and out of trouble
all his life he was 12 years old when he first hit the streets samuels lost his father and then
his grandfather at a very young age he revealed that one time his grandad had burnt his face
down and that his mother too had shot him these traumatic incidents pushed him into giving up his
everyday life like my mom and night who shouted me you wouldn't shout you just give me the look
you wouldn't do it again now you stop samuels was doing great in the kitchen when he was recruited
onto the show he was a fast learner he could follow all the orders that chef ramsay laid
before him still unfortunately jerome's senior officer andy cole bomb drops i've been called
to see jerome's senior officer on a wing andy cole took him out of the course because he was verbally
abusing the officers and disrespecting them chef ramsey tried to convince cole that despite being
surrounded by sharp objects implying knives and cutters samuels was doing great and that he was
disciplined inside the kitchen what'd they say you are making it hard they want you off the course
and i don't want you off the course we can't go back chef ramsay tried to get some more time as he
believed he could change samuels in disciplined behaviour chef ramsay didn't want samuels to
go back to square one but he was pulled off the show after he was charged with verbally abusing
a female officer he was later transferred to a max security prison in weyland norfolk they pull
themselves up by their behavior don't they i've sat down with him so in a way you're writing him
off yes sorry anthony kelly are you signed up yeah are you kings alert yeah good can you cook
no i can't cook i'll try it out anthony kelly has been in and out of many jails for over 16 years
over burglary charges stealing heavy goods from vehicles drugs and other felonious activities
kelly revealed to chef ramsay that he had never worked his entire life he expressed how ashamed
he was of himself and kelly even said that by the age of 10 he was already addicted to pot
a year after the series ended kelly changed the direction of his life completely in an interview
kelly revealed about his childhood he said that both his father and mother were alcoholics who
constantly fought it didn't matter what the objects were in their fights bottles knives
anything they got their hands on was their weapon kelly also told the interviewer about how once his
mother put a hot iron on his dad's back when he was sleeping and that his dad almost jumped out
of the window by the time he was six he had to do several odd jobs to pay for his mother's alcohol
kelly first started smoking cigarettes at the age of seven at the age of 10 he went into drugs he
stopped going to school after being moved into the care of a care home he spent a significant
part of his childhood in many care homes as he always managed to run away kelly revealed that
at the age of 15 his criminal behavior escalated that was around when his mother died because of
an alcohol-related illness at 15 he was sent to a juvenile offenders institute for stealing because
of chef ramsay's program kelly got to learn a lot after getting out of the prison he worked with
prisoner peer-mentoring charity the saint giles trust and later he became a stage actor trainee
kelly in an interview said that he owes chef ramsey for all the changes in his life he said i
owe gordon a lot he was genuine in the prison away from the cameras he was as good as gold he told us
about his troubles his brother has addiction problems and his old man was an alcoholic
but as much as i got from that experience this place has given me what i needed to change
kelly was referring to anchor house where he has been in and out of since his childhood days on
the streets after his release he worked for the st giles trust which helps rehabilitate ex-offenders
he also became a stage actor trainee and performed a stint at the theatre royal in plymouth currently
he is undertaking training supported by anchor house to become a lifestyle architect a sort
of life coach come counsellor for those struggling with troubled lives and finally we have paul wyatt
my biggest mistake in my life taking drugs paul wyatt had been doing drugs for many years
he expressed his feelings about how he wanted to get out of drugs and be clean but he couldn't do
it as it was not easy on him i've been taking drugs for so many years from the heart i mean i
want to stay clean at the time of gordon behind bars wyatt was recovering from heroin addiction
he always had to start his day with a dose of methadone he revealed that he started smoking
heroin at the age of 16 or 17 and started taking crack at 23 that was the time when things went out
of control wyatt always wanted to be a chef he dreamt of becoming a chef since the age of 16.
with that dream he joined cajun college but he lasted there only for a few months
i started taking her room when i was about 16 17. i didn't start taking the crack till i was 23.
wyatt reminded chef ramsay of his brother and for that he wanted to give wyatt a chance to prove
others wrong and make a name for himself it's all shot i'm just taking it all in at my mom but yeah
after getting out of prison wyatt was given a trial offer by chef ramsay at the savoy
grill restaurant he was able to pass his trial period in the restaurant with ease
i can say gordon's helping me stay clean and giving me
opportunities to sort my life out and be the person i wanted to be when i was 16. however
after three weeks of working in the restaurant it was reported that wyatt was back on drugs
wyatt dismissed all the allegations and assured chef Ramsay that he was still clean chef Ramsay
wanted to support wyatt but he worried if wyatt was lying i want to support paul but i know from
personal experience addicts don't always tell the truth wyatt was put through a drug test
wondering what the result was and the big question for me is have you stayed clean
unfortunately wyatt lost his job in the savoy grill as he had relapsed he couldn't handle the
immense stress in the working environment but rumor has it that wyatt came clean once again
and moved to the us where he opened a soul food restaurant in the meantime brixton's bad
boys bakery continues to thrive with over 15 000 products and 14 branches the bakery has provided
hope and support to those who have lost them all welfare to work provider working links has
now taken over the kitchen and the training program with that today's video has come to
