I posted it above. It's on youtube from BBC. It's two parts. Very scary. The only thing not scary in the whole thing to me was the sandwich they gave them in their cell. Let's just say I am a law abiding person but it has me scared straight regardless.

If you want to see a good lecture, be near me when my kids are complaining, I give a fantastic "when I was your age" speach

LOL. Do you ever utter the phrase "Sonny boy" or "whippersnapper"?

They are so crazy. They give a bad name to Christianity. They have their own agenda and translate the bible according to their whims. I came across it because the city my mom lives in, in Missouri, had a guy killed in Afganistan. The guy was a friend of my brother's in school. Westboro came to his funeral and announced they were doing it because they hate fags. Nothing, nothing to do with this dead soldier or his family. Their behavior was reprehensible.

The people there were angry and so much so that thousands (I think my mom said nearly 2000) of ordinary citizens gave up their day and made a wall for blocks around the church where the funeral was held. Blocking the crazy Westboro people from yelling at the soldiers family as they grieved their child. It's a good size university town so educated population. They don't go for that ignorant behavior.

I was googling Westboro and came across that and when I saw it was also a documentary by Louis Thoureax, and the same guy as the Miami Mega Jail one I had just seen, I watched it.

Ore you should watch the Miami one. So scary. Most of the people there have been there for years and never convicted of anything yet, just accused. Just awaiting trial. Here is America. Sigh. :(

They are just plain evil. :(

I watched the other two you posted. Jail/prison is a fucked up place to be. I would never make it in there.
 
I recommend Trinity And Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie. It shows the development of nuclear weapons. I bought a three dvd set that included Atomic Journeys, a documentary about nuclear test sites in states other than New Mexico and Nevada as well as scenes of tests from other countries. It will surprise you. Rounding off the series is Nukes In Space: The Rainbow Bombs. All three were narrated by William Shatner and it had a great musical score by William Stromberg and Jonathan Morgan, performed by the Moscow Symphany Orchestra. The special features are an eye opener, too. Check all three out.

I recommend The Loving Story, Standing In The Shadows Of Motown, Trinity And Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie, Atomic Journeys and Nukes In Space.
 
Hidden colors 1&2 should be required viewing for the black men on here. It's a real eye opener and sheds light on history you weren't told in school.
 
Went to the Full Frame Festival and saw documentaries like Standing 20 feet from Stardom,Citizen Koch,and ones I wished to see like Mussle Sholes,Doc Remus,and Free Angela Davis and all Political Prisoners.
