[quote=Anonymous]Besides that one confusing part, I find the documentary to be repetitive. It could've been a one night 2-3 hour documentary. They keep making the same case and arguments over and over in each and every episode. I think it could've been better arranged/executed. 6 weeks is dragging out the story. Perhaps one week could've focused on this issue of bail--for a person who's only been accused, not found guilty. Then another could've focused on the violence and (his) poor treatment inside the prison and the need for prison reform, etc.

According to my TV guide, the episodes are meant to be set up in that way, but every week they've repeated the same things. Every single episode talks about how poor the people in the Bronx are and how not having money leads to less justice for him, how damaging solitary confinement is, and the violence (he endured) in Rikers. Last night I found myself getting up to do chores and prepare for work while it showed in the background because I'd heard all of the same arguments before.

I think the documentary reveals very serious issues that need to lead to serious public discourse and CHANGE in the way we do "justice" in this country. And it could've been much more powerful if the same arguments were not repeated in every episode.[/quote]
