Prison Life

The most interesting show on television isn’t some action or comedy or even a reality show with script running wild. It is a show highlighting the true struggles inside the U.S. prison system. It is a sorry and scary state of affairs as you see the stories of different range of criminals most of them showing regrets of what they did and trying to cope with life in prison whatever way they can. Some of them would not see the outside of the prison till they die and for them this harsh reality breeds innovative ways to spend their time which is all they have there.

The there is the female prison population which has its own set of problems. Most of inmates have families and it is hard for both the families and the children to stay separate but since the shows tell the stories from the inmates’ point of view, you see painfulness inside the mothers that they are missing out on their kid’s lives.

The occurrence of violence is much more for males than for females. And then there is the gang problem and the race problem and all this is being held in check somewhat by the prison guards who have a tough job handling these dangerous criminals. All in all you have see these shows which is so shockingly real and scary than any horror movie you can ever see and you feel like lucky to be not amongst them and try to obey the laws as much as possible.
