The fascination about prison. Is it just Americans?

02-20-2007, 09:15 AM

Seems every channel I turn to lately is about some prison documentary.
What is the fascination about it? Other then it being a huge business.

Also is it just Americans or do other countries have the same fascination?

We lock people up for being bad (Supposedly) then we want to see them act like animals what a fucked up system. It shouldnt be glorified in anyway.

I completely agree. I think prison shows and police shows should be banned from television, with the exception of educational shows.

Those "World's Wildest" video shows are sort of glorifying police actions and criminal actions. It seems that these shows want to create a police state or something...

The same goes for prison shows... it is as if they show the prison to scare people into conforming completely... just my though..

Everything is glorified these days music, drugs, violence, cops, criminals etc etc.

Saying it should not be glorified is like saying there should not be any violence in video games or that singers should not be able to make music about drugs.

It is human nature to want to peek into anything that is not a part of your regular day.

Because watching "Prison Break" is less gay than watching Men's Ice Skating but just as satisfying.

Hi Roger,

I don't know if it is a fascination unique to Americans, but I have a story related to this topic.

Last week I was in the local Pizza shop waiting for a take-home order. While waiting, I noticed they had a documentary about prison life playing on the plasma widescreen. All of the pizza patrons were glued to the widescreen...they were fascinated. Why? Perhaps we are curious about what happens to bad people.

I like to do crazy stuff but Prison is no Joke. Fuck that.. it sucks! I dont know how people survive in that enviroment. I would go nuts.

I dont think Europeans have the same fascination.

Which shows are you referring to? I've notieced plenty of documentaries about murder, law, and forensics (American Justice, Cold Case Files, City Confidential) but not prison per se.

Yep I have noticed an increasing amount of shows about prison...but there are definately more just about crime in general. Actually just to prove that it can be a bad influence on some people:
I remember a few years ago there was an episode of one such program, which showed people using famaldihyde in relation to drugs...then the next day after it aired, a funeral parlour was robbed of it's entire stock of famaldihyde. Coincidence?...I think not!

It isn't just the states..the UK is like that too now. It is part of the whole glamorization of criminals. Over here it is old style British gangsters that are talked about like they were gods over there it is other types of criminals that are treated like worthy celebs.

without getting into a long, drawn-out i think primarily because it's a world that the majority of people will never know and there's a curiosity that goes along with that.

Probably for the same reason people are interested in gangs, mobs, drugs, murders, etc. Its something most people have little to no experience in, therefore they don't know how it operates. People are curious. They want to know.

here's the Freudian answer

prison is a center for alpha males and the subliminal thought is that alpha male straight guys get a pass for being gay in prison. it's OK there...

those that are glued to it are the closet homosexuals or people who are just a litle bit gay and havn't admited it to themselves and are intrigued by the whole idea of it.

Why is it that it is always blamed on Americans on this forum? Who cares if people want to watch shows on prisons or cops. I watch the tv shows Cops. I like it, if you don't, then turn the channel. I think people in general have a facination with criminals and murder. My wife is studying forensics and she is always watching Forensic Files, The First 48, Cold Case Files, etc. Her favorite channel is Court TV. People like crime and murder, just not when it happens to someone they know. They like to watch shows on real crime stories. It may be fucked up, but that is the way it is. It is not an American thing, it is human nature.

Are you fucking kidding me? Blaming a tv show is so stupid. Just as stupid as killing someone and then blaming it on a video game. People like you are the reason there are gay ass excuses like that. Heaven forbid that it is actually a choice that someone made to rob the funeral home, the tv show made them do it. I guess we all must be in porn because we watched a lot of porn movies and they made us get involved in the biz.

It's not really a fascination...I think cable tv is starting to cater to niches, kind of like porn, and they realize there's pretty much an audience for every type of topic and to cash in on it. There's tons of reality shows that most of us would avoid like the plague...i.e. wedding shows, decorating shows (has to outnumber prison shows 2 to 1), etc, etc, etc.

The thing with reality shows, etc, is that people get to look into situations and scenarios that they would never be in, etc. Cops, robbers, etc, etc, is interesting to people because they can vicariously live through that scenario while eating nachos. :D

Probabaly, but half of them I bet are not even US citizens. Here in AZ we have a lot of illegal aliens from Mexico in jails.
