Captain Munsey: Escape From Prison
At the underfunded and overcrowded Westgate Penitentiary, the situation is like a ticking bomb ready to go off.
Under those circumstances, the rebellious and tough-to-break inmate Joe Collins and his fellow prisoners in the crammed cell R17 are kept on a short leash by the sadistic, manipulative and power-craving guard, Captain Munsey.
Eventually, Joe with dreams of escape and at the end of his tether, he will finally have all set to crack the wall open, but with his rusty shackles so thick and heavy, is it possible to escape from the prison and Munsey’s ever-watchful eye?
In the end, when freedom is so expensive and precious, who knows what great lengths one can go to be free at

    Americans enjoy more personal freedoms than any country in the world, but, since the attacks on the “World Trade Center” and the “Pentagon” on 9-11-2011, and the subsequent passing of the “Patriot Act”, the American way of life has been forever changed, and a lot of the personal, private freedoms Americans enjoy are gone. The text in the center of the art piece sets the tone. It forces the viewer to ask themselves the question. Are we really free?…

    Earley also discusses some of the important figures and official representatives of Leavenworth, including Warden Matthews, Eddie Geouge and Lieutenant Bill Slack to provide a different perspective of the prison. He explores prison dynamics between inmates, and between inmates and guards to discover the forces at work inside the Leavenworth walls. The stories of the guards are just as interesting as the stories of the inmates, but they paint a completely different image of the prison and the people inside it.…

    Unflinching about what he sees and feels, Conover gets scared and intimidated, but he's not alone. Prison guards are significantly outnumbered by the inmates they're supposed to control. He portrays other guards as guys (and a smattering of women) who mostly do their best to corral their fear and who patch their psychological holes with whatever putty lets them do an unimaginably difficult job. For some, he admits, that putty becomes…

    Prison Overcrowding

    In America’s tough economic society, over population has become an exceedingly hot topic issue. However, overcrowding in America’s prison system has been a severe problem since the 1970's. The majority of the changes have come from different policies on what demographic to imprison and for what reason. The perspective of locking up criminals because they are "evil" is what spawned this (Allen, 2008). Because of this perspective the prison system in America is in need of serious reorganization. Since 1980, most states have one or more of their prisons or the entire system under orders from the federal courts to maintain minimum constitutional standards (Stewart, 2006).…

    Every night significant populations of people have almost no where to lay their head to rest. They are boxed up in tiny rooms, or shoved into cramped spaces to fulfill a quota on a balance sheet. Housed in makeshift units and stacked on tri-leveled bunks their population is only growing. Although the remainder of society views them as filth and scum, convicted felons, inmates and prisoners do not just deserve but also require humane treatment. Prison Overcrowding isn’t just a singular problem; it is an issue with far reaching consequences. Safety of both inmates’ and prison personnel are directly related to Prison Overcrowding.…

    Many of these facts are talked bout and proven by journalist Ted Conover in his engrossing account of the year he spend as a correctional officer. (correctional officers or COs as they are known as, dislike the term "guard") at the maximum-security Sing Sing Prison in New York. Conover, always fascinated by prisons and curious about what the life of a guard was really like, approached the New York Department of Correctional Services with a request to write a profile of the experiences of a new recruit, but was turned down. So he decided that his only option was to become a guard himself in which he would get better incite about prison anyway especially if he was working on the inside of the prison, instead of just hearing stories and not…

For some the idea of being trapped is the worst thing imaginable. This is why some people choose to respect their freedom through a lack of sacrifice. It is up to the individual to decide if their freedom is worth sacrificing. In the movie The Prestige, Christopher Nolan proves that to create true illusion an individual must make sacrifices that impact themselves and others around them.…
