First Week In

[BBatesokc]

Anybody else here watch 'First Week In' (Discovery Channel)? About a convicted first week locked up. Looks like one of the few docu-reality shows that's pretty real.

Last nights episode featured a guy named Stephen Paige from Muskogee, being locked up somewhere in Tulsa. He was locked up for the first time for a string of burglaries. He appeared pretty scared straight.

Certainly a good program for the kids to watch as a little warning.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

First week - scared straight

Second week - In training to better burgle next time

and a few other skills he can use when he gets out.

I actually know quit a few people that had early in life run-ins with the law and all it took was one short stay in jail to put them on the right path for life.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Yeah, but that short stay can prohibit them from getting decent employment.

Just ask my brother-in-law.

I hear ya. I'm all for, after a period of time, convictions for non-violent crimes being taken off someone's record. Go a decade with no more issues - all for expungement.
