I'd like to start off by saying "Bravo" to macktan894. That is the review that inspired me to watch this documentary. What a great review. I must say, he/she was dead on. Within the first two minutes, I felt like a piece of crap for not knowing this poor soul's story and not helping. I am a Floridian. I don't know how I missed it!

In my opinion, there is no way, ever, on God's green earth, that this poor individual should have been imprisoned to begin with. The fact that he contrived multiple escapes is completely understandable... and, in my opinion, quite forgivable. Who, in his position, would not? It's extremely sad to me that we were (and are) beyond sending fellows like this to the military... because I am pretty sure he would have returned as a hero. He is obviously the real MacGyver.

I was also disgusted to hear about what happened to him while in prison. But what I am really disgusted about is the FACT that prisons seem to contribute to that behavior. We put people in prison to punish them. WHY WOULD WE ALLOW THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO HURT ANOTHER INMATE? Our system clearly should be re-evaluated. PRONTO!!!!!!!!!!
