30 days
Seeing the video of the guy trying out jail for 30 days was very interesting. Even though it the people seemed a lot less scary then i stereotyped them to be, the pain the prisoners suffered was even more frightening. Morgan was only in the jail for 30 days and he was craving being outdoors so much that I can't even imagine people who had been there for years. It also surprised me how much different the people are in the rehab prison, why isn't this used more? I had a lot of hope in the people who were being released that their life was going to change for the better, but instead they ended up back in jail. This shows that people can't get used to life outside of prison after being in it for so long. Why do people have such a hard time changing for the better? Why can't these prisoners refrain themselves from doing bad again? Do they not remember how much pain they went through inside of jail?

I totally agree with you and I also noticed how much Morgan wanted to get outside. Being locked up like prisoners are is very dehumanizing and they forget how to live and interact in society. Being put in jail doesn't help people change at all it just keeps them from society and then re-releasing them later on. There's no help! It's really sad and it should definitely change so that the prisoners could change themselves.
