Super Size...Jail for 30 days!

Yes, I failed in the title, but I left it for comic use...In class we watched an episode of 30 days, with the same actor from Super Size me. After his great success with humiliating the famously delicious Mcdonalds chain, He created his own show in which he does some random act of (stupidity) for 30 days...One detail I found funny in this show, was he only did 25 days in prison becuase inmates only serve about 85% of their time. Soo...False Advertisement. Anyway, Great show. I actually learned alot from watching little clips of convicts..(good or bad?)... He was served three meals a day, each costing about 60 cents to make, ironically the same company that makes our food for lunch Sodexo, yet they charge us 3 dollars to eat Hooray for the patriots. But even though they were put away for various reasons, they got along like brothers, even with no structure really. They took in Morgan right away into a room. And he met George who has been in and out of jail for 30 years or so. He did 15 years and was in there for a little while longer for more crimes. He got a letter halfway through the show saying he was being released, and the one man who had some mental issues was upset because George was really the only one who looked after him. In a jailcell with 30 other people, convicts no less. they really looked out for eachother and tried to help out, giving food, keeping things clean, Not shanking like morgan originally thought. keep in mind he went into the drug unit, so it wasnt rapists and murderes, but convicts still. a few of the guys that were in there were trying to get over their addiction so their first few nights were very rough for them, and seeing as we pay alot for jails I would've thought that they would've gotten some extra treatment. None. except for what they're buddies in jail provided, which was sufficient. The last, yet saddest fact was that like 70% of people that went in, went in again for offences. because they're so used to the social norms that they become accustumed to in the jail world. Take george the man that was released. He is 50 years old. been in jail multiple times. some for years and years at a time. Yet 2 weeks after he got his early release...He went back. A sad story but thats the true life that some people have to live. After seeing the show I feel differently and dont really want to end up in jail like that. But if I do, I know that there will be some structure for me. (thumbs up).
