While one brother rises… the other begins to fall apart.

In Episode 5 of The Krays Web, the Kray twins are separated — with Ronnie behind bars and Reggie building an empire on the outside.

But power takes different forms, and as Ronnie tightens his grip inside prison, his mental state begins to unravel in ways that will have devastating consequences.

In this episode:
• Ronnie’s prison influence and the “Cray pension” system
• How tobacco became currency behind bars
• Reggie’s expansion — clubs, gambling, and business growth
• The launch of the Double R club and new ventures
• Ronnie’s transfer to Camp Hill and growing paranoia
• Mental breakdown, diagnosis, and institutionalisation
• The early signs of a plan that will lead to murder

Why it matters:
This is a pivotal moment in the Kray story — where power, control, and mental health collide, setting the stage for the violence that will define their legacy.

Follow the show for more deep-dive episodes into the truth behind the Kray twins.
