Commentary on video below
What feeds the popularity of such vids,*
Outbursts to sentences, abuse of kids.
The gavel brought down in final stage,
The criminal outbursts and fits of rage.
.
Just like survivor or big brother,
The audience revels in the pain of others.
Courts just like reality TV shows
Where beefy security absorbs wild blows.
,
.
The powerlessness of prisoner in the dock,
Sometimes in Correction’s orange smock.
It’s just another day in the court,
Dispensing justice to those it’s caught.
.
Ten, twenty years or thirty too,
A life without parole in view.
Imposing crazy sentence length,
Is what the system can dispense.
.
Private prisons, debate rages,
With profits made from folks in cages.
If money is made from misery,
Proliferation no mystery.
.
For those who are not aficionados the action gets going about the 18 minute mark
