Rule #1, dont go to prison. Rule #2, if you do go to prison get super jacked and learn how to fight, fast! After patiently waiting for this movie to come out, to my surprise I found it one night on Amazon, for free!!! I was excited to watch Jamie Lanister turn himself into a hardened criminal and watch as the system makes him into a monster. If you are a fan of prison movies (which I am) this is a pretty good one for you. Jacob is a successful business man, loving father and husband with a pretty great life. One night out with the friends and having a few too many to drink, he gets into a car accident and one of the passengers die. Well the friends wife doesn't like that much, so presses charges and low and behold, good ole Jacob ends up behind bars. We all know how the story goes, in order to survive, you need to put in work and get yourself some protection. All that does is earn him some extra years on his sentence, all the while building his cred to become one of the top thugs. When he finally gets out, he has to survive a different way with his old life in the rear view, its a struggle all around. I loved this movie and put it right up there with some of the classic lock up flicks such as Blood in Blood out, Felon, and American History X. I ended the movie wanting more but completely satisfied with the content. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the gritty underworld of the American prison system.
FYI: Many prisons in CA have adopted an inmate workout routine not unlike the one seen here.
