Going to prison has always been one of my biggest fears…

So, for some unknown reason, I just watched Louie Theroux’s latest BBC documentary Behind Bars a exploration of life inside San Quentin State Prison in California. Holy shit! If ever anyone doubted, which I’m sure they didn’t, I’m not cut out for prison. I’m not saying that any of the crimes committed by the inmates were at all shocking to me, you see worse on CSI: Miami. However, could I live with inmate law and super-heightened masculine enviroment – hell no!

So this combined with an online conversation with a friend of mine about strange and unexpected occasions when people he knew went to prison culminates in the idea of going to prison scaring the utter shit outta me. AND now you can get a jail sentence for accidentally killing someone by using your mobile or SatNav prior to a car accident. I am never-ever gonna talk on my phone or text while on the motorway again! ever… ever!

And yes… I’m still behind on 365 films in a year. Don’t ask!
