This is a leftist / progressive propaganda piece. The level of bias against law enforcement is ridiculous. There are definitely systemic issues within the criminal justice system, which must be addressed. However, torching the entire system out of spite, isn't a solution.

I am fascinated by prison, especially in the US so I watch a lot of the documentaries and shows. Most of the time they focus on a few inmates and show their lives for awhile. This was different it was really all about the system itself and how messed up it actually is. It really focused more on how easily innocent people can get washed away in a corrupt system that is designed to make corporations money and not about reform.

The style is a mix of interviews with actual people who were locked up and later found innocent of their crimes and narrated by a variety of celebrities (not just Danny Trejo) It is a fast paced expose into the reality of the justice system and the mentality of the US in general. There are some gorey scenes of blood, they show a couple scenes of people who have been stabbed but overall it's pretty mild. I would recommend this to everyone.

I really resent how this is marketed as a survivor's guide to prison, because it isn't. There are a few basic, generic suggestions given - i.e., be polite, don't speak much, defend yourself if necessary - but it's hardly any sort of guide on anything. The documentary is frankly all over the place and tries to accomplish way too much. It's overly ambitious and the end result is a scattered, disappointing mess.
