Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
cdelany Very misleading title, it is in reality Hollywood's far left love affair of criminals while simultaneously hating Law Enforcement! Everyone in prison is innocent, the police are all evil and intentionally throw law abiding people in prison! Oh yes and Prison is so unfair, it is no fun and makes it hard to make phone calls as often as you want. Hey, prison does suck but it is supposed to! Do some people get wrongly convicted? Absolutely but thanks to DNA it happens less and less often. In reality, you have to either commit a heinous, violent crime or be a repeat felon to be sentenced to prison. This movie makes me sick! I was especially disappointed with Danny Trejo, I thought he was a "straight shooter" that supposedly has done a lot of work trying to rehabilitate convicts. THIS SHOW WAS GARBAGE!
offthewall101 Identity politics are jam packed in this liberal propaganda piece, white bad, minority good. Trying to sway the viewer that crime is good, white cops are bad. I don't see how any of this will help the current climate, one thing I do know is this will get rave reviews and high scores because it's politically correct at this time.
skot-watson I watched this movie expecting a gritty how-to for surviving in prison but the longer I watched the more it felt like an advertisement for a politician during reelection. Lots of percentages and statistics thrown at you with very little in regards to the sources of where they came from. It also felt very imbalanced in its portrayal of prison and prisoners, on one side talking about how terrible prisoners are but then talking the next about how they all shouldn't be there. They didn't seem to be very clear to what exactly they were trying to say. One woman in particular struck me as being in complete denial that murder is bad. I would have liked to see both sides of this issue not just the one that they seem to want to shove down your throat.
sjmiller05 This documentary is for the people that support the police and the justice system. This is for the people that believe they are law abiding. This is for the people that believe the old adage "if you do nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about." This is for the people that believe they will never see the inside of a jail cell. If this is you, it is a must watch. It is time to get out from under the rock you have been under the last 30 years.Hopefully, this will open your eyes.
