I believe I've recommended Oz before. It's set in a high-security American prison, has story arcs across multiple series and, I believe, only series 1 is currently available in the UK. So it seems ideal.
I presume all the medical stuff is out as well (ER would keep you busy for a very long time), so about the only thing I can think of is Sports Night. There may be only one series, but it's by Aaron Sorkin, you'll recognise quite a few of the actors, and while obviously sport does get mentioned occasionally, it's always much more about the various friendships and relationships among the characters.
