The video I chose to watch was National Geographic America's Hardest Prison Predators. The show followed two inmates in Lebanon prison as their story is told. The first inmate was Alberta who was in prison for shooting a man four times in a drug deal gone wrong. He is also a leader of the Crip gang, therefor Albert is very respected in the prison because people are afraid of him. The second inmate was Scott and had just been sentenced to prison for getting into a car accident with a pregnant woman killing her unborn child. Unlike Albert, Scott was at the bottom of the food chain since he had only been there a few days.
It was interesting to see what goes on inside this prison and how many inmates turn to gangs just so they can be a part of a group for protection while they are locked up. During the shake down portion i defiantly thought the officers would find more weapons than they did due to the amount of gang members there were and it also seemed like a lot of fights occurred. What most surprised me was when Albert met with the mother and wife of the man he shot. While I thought it was very thoughtful of him to do so they could have closure, I wouldn't have guessed a leader of a dangerous gang would do something like that.
