The film was based on a compilation of true stories, so, in essence, it did (does) actually happen.Day Break would not be a film for me to see, plus the fact that this sounds like it could actually happen
If I'm not mistaken, our Government allows capital punishment, too.I hate to think of people living in that kind of government.
One of the fascinating components in the film is how well the prisoners are treated by their fellow inmates and the guards. No one is a saint, and there are prisoners who get solitary, etc. But there is a lot of compassion, too.
As I figured, this film won't leave me alone.
