More evidence of the media ignoring the harsh realities of prison

As noted in the book, life inside prison mostly goes unnoticed in the media. With the exception of unrealistic infotainment shows such as Lockup (MSNBC), major events like the protest of conditions inside Georgia prisons go mostly uncovered by the mainstream press.

Simply stated, the inmates claim "slavery."

Consider that about half of the inmates are being locked up for non-violent crimes.

And consider that since you have most likely committed some kind of felony in your life, you could very well have ended up inside.

You would think this might make the story relevant to the press. Apparently not. Instead, you see more and "lifestyle" and "soft news" stories in the corporate owned media.
