This awesome filmmic trip through the one of the grittiest aspects of prison life - the subjugation and rape of the weak by the strong - held me spellbound. Kind of like having a dream while you're awake. It also provides prisoners' surprisingly stoic insights into what they get from benign homosexual relationships (more than just sex). A must see for anyone interested in just how twisted - and suprisingly tender - prison life can be. Actor Danny Trejo, who narrates, is a great touch, and the soundtrack is seductive. "Turned Out" has great picture quality and a very high end encoding standard for a home DVD.
For an independent documentary the extra features were indeed excellent. Extra features include in-depth interviews with assaulted inmates, interviews with main characters five years after the original filming, an interview with a female rape victim, an image gallery, and music videos by rappers C-Nile and Juvenile, and by country singer/convict Denver Holloway.

Don't judge this dvd by it's cover.....It looked like it was going to bo a good one from the start. The cover looks tough the topic is an eye catcher, the start of the documentary is good....and then...forget about it. I had a classroom full of at-risk teens and they all, including my self, wanted to change the channel. Like Danny! but he's not even involved with the interviewing.....save your money. Sorry Danny this is not your best work, I liked your videos for AA much better!

It was very boring and dull, im thinking that it was going to look in on like real prison in the newer years, it was like watching prison with ugly black and whites in the 1980s, if I known it was a prison in Alabama, i wouldn't have wasted my money omg

This films just goes to show that anything is possible when you are in a constricted area like that. Quite informative and interesting.

I feel that this documentary was informative. I have two young boys and I like to have visual documents to deter them from doing the wrong thing. This type of up front information helped me with my older two. Thanks for the prompt response.

Ok, but not as good as I was expecting it to be. I guess I was looking for more info EXACTLY what and how the sex goes on. Kinda just skimming over the info.

Excellent documentary on sodomy in the prison system. From pimps to hoes, this ones got it all. Might be shocking to some, but almost makes you want to get locked up to see how many guys you can get to be your bitch. Very good video. Fun for the whole family, your kids will love it.
