Give me a break, so the lead starts out as a yuppie with a great job, great house and a family, goes out with friends one night, has some drinks, gets in an accident and gets a friend killed, ending up in maximum security prison?
I've never been able to verify this is true, that you do get sent to Max for DUI manslaughter, but if you had to ask me, I'd think it was unlikely. I also would think it's unlikely someone would become a big crime lord while in prison, especially coming from a DUI manslaughter charge. Come on.
Like Oz, I think this movie was solely aimed to scare middle class, rich suburban types to attract more attention to it. Some ex-cons have shared their prison experiences on some other sites and basically said it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Many ex-cons also do not fit any sort of stereotype. For instance, looking at the lead coming out of prison with his hair and his shirt was hilarious. Got a huge red flag from that itself.
