Leave your thoughts about Survivor's Guide to Prison.
| Sydney Morning HeraldBrad NewsomeA feature-length indictment of an American legal system in which justice comes a distant last behind the interests of politicians, prosecutors, private-prison operators and the big-name companies that profit from the forced labour of a million prisoners. |
| Entertainment VoiceAlci RengifoSurvivors Guide to Prison is a very uncomfortable viewing experience. It will make you angry and shock you. But with this sort of subject matter, maybe that is the appropriate effect. |
| Film InquiryAmyana BartleySurvivors Guide to Prison has changed the way I view the American justice system. There's not enough room in any review to account for all of it's essential information. It is a testament to how the 1% rule our world at the expense of everyone else. |
| Movie BoeufDavid N. ButterworthWhat if you're not a murderer or a rapist or a thief yet find yourself facing incarceration? You're going to need the "Survivors Guide to Prison." |
| Film PulseAdam PattersonA film that, though it may be a bit too boisterous for its own good, is nonetheless one that everyone should see and talk about. |
| User ReviewMary KPrince, moving and eye opening. Thank you for making this documentary! |
| User ReviewJ BThe average American commits 2-3 felonies a day, probably not even realizing it... So yeah, don't leave home without seeing it. |
| User ReviewPawel UI found this to be an honest depiction of what is wrong with the criminal justice system in this country. Education and knowledge is very important and i believe this to be a very good start in exposing the injustices that people fave on a daily basis |
| User ReviewJon-Paul SGreat documentary that touches on some real problems in the criminal justice and court systems in this country. This should be required viewing in schools. Highly reccomended. |
| User ReviewRazvan Florentin Pmandatory education, step towards a sane direction To be a doctor, 00:10:54,952 --> 00:10:56,953 you have to go to school for many years. To be a lawyer, you have to go to school for many years. I don't understand how somebody with just a high school diploma or a GED can have that type of power, to be an officer of the law with a pistol that can take someone's life, literally, or with the charges they put on you." |
