Isn't this supposed to be what prison is supposed to do? Rehabilitate? Anyone human who feels comfortable locking up another and throwing away the key isn't any better then the person they want locked up.. in my eyes..

it seems that anyone like that (LAcoFIREguy) Is just as much of a 'monster' as the criminals he is so sure are all guilty of their crime.

The United States criminal justice system is 'faulty'.. this isn't news. You sound like a fool.. on various points in your statement.

Having been a former inmate at SQ, I truly appreciate everyone who was involved in manufacturing this series. Not only is it a healthy step for the inmates to progress forward in healthy manner, but it also gives the outside world a view that not all criminals are "monsters". I sincerely applaud Discovery for ther ideas and work, and the inmates who participated in this series!

How the fuck you supposed to take advantage of good programs when there's guys that wanna punk you or fight you for no apparent reason? You Have to fight. Its a double edged sword man

San Quentin is a very tough prison but they are well managed. And they care about their inmates enough to give them an opportunity to turn their lives around.

47 States Denied the film it tells you how America and its Government wants a change in the prison system and its for hate, divide, and money hungry making cash profit. What a hypocrite country we live in disgusting! But I respect California for accepting and inmates wanting change, education can make a difference.

@MacPete187 It's called a classification point system. If a person is housed with ppl with crimes more serious than their original crime, its usually due to their behavior once in prison.
