troyez70 ... did they get a camera in that type of unit?!?! I've been locked up in lesser security jails and we couldn't get away with a freaking lighter, let alone a video camera! We were regularly used as practice for the local SWAT team to practice on, so contraband of any kind was confiscated quick! It seems unreal that these cons had all the electronic devices they did in the film - it made me think that this film was/is fake. And if someone smuggled that camera in, on/in their person via a body cavity, DAMN!!! The guy could pass a coffee can! That's insane! The film itself wasn't much of a documentary - when you only focus on one side of an issue it is more like propaganda.
Scroobious Funny I would bring up Glenn Beck in this situation right? Wrong. This uh... homemade movie is one-sided and that side is given no real evidence or balance.An inmate at a prison managed to get a camcorder into his cell and the intriguing part of this documentary stops there. He claims to show evidence of correctional officer violence, but it's really just hyped up prisoner antics.The only informative aspect of this homemade movie is the cramped and horrifying living spaces you can look forward to if you rob someone with a sawed off shotgun; as the main subject, Omar Broadway did.
Rockhound6165 Here's the deal. I'm not going to sit here and say that there aren't incidents of abuse of force. There are. When there are thousands of people working in a system, there are going to be a few knuckleheads(the fact that a prison inmate in the most secure unit in the department was able to keep a video camera in his cell should be an indication of that). However, this idiot made it seem like he's just an innocent victim. Um, no. Omar Broadway is a piece of scum who made the choice to live a life of crime. And his mother isn't going to be up for any awards either. How can you be proud of your child for being a drug dealer? I particularly loved the cell extraction. Nice that they edited the entire process out. Here's the procedure: They need to get an inmate for one reason or another. They go to the cell and tell him that he's going to be taken out of the cell and is ordered on his knees with his hands on top of his head to be cuffed(proper procedure). If the inmate is compliant, he's put into cuffs, taken to where ever he's to be taken. Does whatever business needs to be done, and is returned to his cell. However, if he's not compliant, he's given several orders to do so and if he still chooses to be an animal, the extract team is brought in. Of course all you see here is the extract team doing their thing, not the events leading up to the extraction. Believe me, extract teams aren't assembled for laughs. It literally takes an act of the administrator to do this and most administrators aren't exactly custody friendly.The short end of it is, if you want to avoid this, stay out of jail. It really is that simple. And to Mr. Broadway, you are the scourge of the earth and it's people like you who don't allow the black community to to come out of the shadows. I hope you enjoy your life in jail because you are exactly where you belong.
sean-pash Boring, boring, boring. I would like to write the producers and ask for that hour and a half of my life back. This movie was pointless, it was about prison injustice yet the prison did nothing wrong. Very strange.Summary: idiot robs a cab at gun point, gets locked up, he and other idiots instigate trouble with cops, cops whoop ass (funny:), no one with any sense picks up production of terrible documentary, awful docu-pic fades away minutes after it airs.....Whatever you do, don't waste your time with this movie. Maybe clean out the refrigerator, organize your closet, clean the car, or punch yourself in the face for an hour and a half.... all would be far more enjoyable.
