[QUOTE="donna723, post: 666532, member: 1883"] About the prison shows ... I don't know if you've seen the one called "The Squad" but it is absolutely real, not contrived like some of the reality shows. It follows the institutional Internal Affairs officers working in the Tennessee prison system. It was originally filmed by A&E as a limited series of about 20 episodes and more than half of them were filmed at the prison where I worked while I was still there! Those people were underfoot for months and we'd find ourselves ducking and dodging them so we wouldn't accidentally be caught on camera. It was filmed about six years ago but is still being shown in reruns on some of the cable channels. It's so strange now to watch it and see all those places that were so familiar to me for almost 25 years. I know ALL of the staff members they show and many of the inmates! There's a new show out now called "Rookies, the First Year" about new Correctional Officers in their first year on the job. It too is a very accurate representation of how it really is on the inside and the things they have to contend with. [/QUOTE]
