2. It's a TV show

Where they take petty UK criminals and take them to US prisons to have the shit scared out of them. But, man, Britain's got its own badasses, I don't get it.

3. Sounds like you answered the question right there.

They took petty British criminals: burglars, dope dealers, that sort of thing presumably. And they're not doing like for like - they're not sending them to county jail. We all know some US prisons are hellholes; they're meant to be. But like you said, we've got some nasty fuckers of our own; they wouldn't get to go on any tv show, of course.
