Criminal Justice system

After watching a right wing government get elected over the weekend, I ended up watching a new doco-drama examining future justice system penalties and the sort of private prison management that may occur here. The film had a storyline that was very similar in many ways to the Shawshank Redemption. It featured a very nuanced commentary on the criminal justice system and alternative ways of dealing with prisoners and some of the possible outomes of the private ownership and management of prisons.

LOL the movie was of course called Death Race - trailer below. Yeah not exactly the most intellectual film I've seen - but great for an election hangover!



PS What the fuck was Joan Allen doing in this rubbish?
