Alicia I love this movie so much

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

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!

fpuwasabadpresident The movie wasn't that bad but it wasn't a survivors guide to prison at all. I feel like someone about to go to prison somewhere is going to watch this and be like "thanks for the stats but I learned jack about how to survive in prison". I mean the documentary brings up some good points, if a bit one sided.You might not feel the same way but I hate the fact that celebrities who never went to prison or knew anything about anything would comment throughout the film. Why are they here? They know nothing, they've never been to prison. If you want some good points for your college paper it's good (trust me that's what I used this film for), if you want to survive prison find something else.

ChronicCinephilia This documentary shows the viewer a handful of people who were wrongfully convicted and then suggests this could be widespread the USA. The current system is by no means perfect, and innocent people will sometimes be wrongfully convicted, but they represent a tiny percentage of those currently in prisons. Most of the people who are imprisoned deserve to be there because they've committed a crime and are being punished.This programme suggests that imprisoning individuals doesn't work. Then what should we do with rapists, murderers, robbers, and drug dealers? They can't just walk the streets. I'm all for rehabilitation but that needs to happen in prison where the public can be kept safe from violent offenders and other dangerous people. Lastly, this program pushes the idea that blacks are more likely to be convicted (which is true but not for the reasons given within the documentary). A disproportionate number of black people are incarcerated because of their culture, not institutional bias. Black people commit crimes in numbers way above that of any other ethnicity. There's a criminal culture within the black community and these people need to take responsibility for that. They're not being locked up for simply walking down the street.

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.
