Ringo's 'nice guy' character is unrealistic
we learn during the movie that Ringo was first in prison when he was 16, 'going on 17'. i was always under the impression prison system in those days made hard men even harder and was not designed to rehabilitate prisoners. i can understand why Ringo takes a liking to Dallas but his overly nice-guy demeanor throughout the movie towards everyone else is unrealistic.
