This documentary totally demystifies the "cool" part of being an inmate. There is no such part. All goes down hill for you when you are in. Jails are to keep you apart, not to tech rehabilitate you, it is the worst and best crime school on the planet. I hope many youngsters watched this doc., for it is a real walk on life lesson we all must learn. Sheldon,

Cons like Dominic, the bull-devilish-looking con, the one-eyed one, Joe, who tells the kids,"When you see us, you better see yourself. Because this (prison) is the future for youse." and Willie, the tall black inmate with the vicious overbite, exists in jails and prison all over the country and they will committ a violent act on a target in there. The documentary remains a lesson against crime and a warning about it's REAL rewards. In fact, one inmate said it best. "Degradation, aliention, humilation, aggrevation, extermination. That's all prison half to offer a m.f. (person!" No doubt.
