Audience Member 12/11/15 Sundance Doc Club A look at a maximum security prison that would never be seen by the public without this film. Brutal, tough and intimidating where simple things like toothpaste or a shower become life or death. On the outside it shows a culture of violence, ignorance and a life style that all but guarantees a stay in the system. Very interesting film, the only criticism is the hand held camera can be herky jerky and limited to the area it can document. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This definitely did NOT deliver on its promise. Very hard to muster up sympathy for a guy who robbed a cab with a sawed-off shotgun OR his mother, who beams with pride at his having been a drug dealer and brought into the Bloods in prison. Sure, the prison conditions were harsh and the food sucks but are you supposed to be sent off to summer camp when you commit a violent crime? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This doucmentary does not bright by its direction and so on. But it has the merit to reveal the conditions & the violence that exist in U.S. jails. Recently a french documentary was done in the same way ... whatever the nationality of the jail, the result is the same. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
