The Prisoner

An interesting story but how unrealistic is the premise. The authorities allowing the prisoners to control the prison for at least 5 days! How embarrassing for any State Governor politically. As for the authorities allowing Matlock in because prisoners demanded it? Again unlikely the authorities acceding to prisoner demands. The prisoners acting with a sense of justice? I think not.

Yep. I think in reality if it had gone on for more than a day, The National Guard and Police would've went in there with guns blazing killing anything that moved.

Of course we're not talking about reality, either. Lol.

This was done on an old Hawaii Five0. Similar episode, but not one bit of comedy relief.
