"San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me"

Hello Friends...
Watched a great documentary last night Louis Theroux: Behind Bars,BBC journo Louis Theroux explored the notorious San Quentin Prison and spoke to it's guards and inmates. It was weird to see how people adjust to life behind bars and what becomes normal to them. One of the prisoners who was handed a sentence of over 500 years (yup 500) admitted, he just can't allow himself to think of what is going on in the outside world or he would go mad (some might say he's that already for the crimes he's committed). He even went so far as to delude himself into thinking he has it good because he will be taken care of for the rest of his life, never having to worry about work or bills, now that's losing touch with reality!

As Johnny Cash described it... a living hell!
Great show to watch... from the comfort of your own home!
