I really can't stand all these so-called prison reality shows on TV now-a-days. What a bunch of crap. These shows are not reality. I know, I've spent 16+ years in jails/prisons after being falsely accused of rape in 1988. Sure the cops, prison guards, and all the others who profit off our so-called justice system love them because it makes it appear that prisons only hold crazy, out of control, violent cons who deserve their lot. These shows also makes it appear that the U.S. needs more and more prisons/jails and more and more laws to "protect" us. Here's some really good articles about all these for-profit, bullshit, exploitative prison reality shows:
