How the Portrayal of Prisons on Film and Tv affects how people are treated on the outside

This paper is going to talk about the portrayal of prison inmates in media and how their dehumanization is part of why we see an uptick in incarceration. The reason why this is the topic in a paper about feminist and anti-feminist issues is because of the division in how the prison system affects Americans. As many people are aware, the judicial system oftentimes shows favoritism to white cis men, which inherently allows cis Black men and other minoritized groups of people to be harshly sentenced or to be the target of programs such as the say ‘No to Drugs’ era during the Reagan administration. But the reason why the racism in these types of programs is so prevalent is due to manipulative propaganda or negative portrayals in media that go out to American consumers. In this paper, we're going to be seeing media from YouTube that talks about Holes and how it portrays the prison industrial complex. Also, in that same vein, we're going to talk about Criminal Minds and how their portrayals of prison lean into some of bell hooks arguments about white innocence. From there, we're going to look at a TED Talk talking about how the dehumanization of prison inmates leads to an inability to properly reassimilate and truly be rehabilitated. Unless they were going to talk about how universities are being tough on crime and how that presents itself as inherently Pro police in the eyes of students that don't want Police on campus due to the inherent policing of minoritized students who are more likely to be racially profiled than white students. leading back to minoritized communities being portrayed as inherently violent through media consumption about prisons and perpetrators of violent crimes. 

Film 

Holes & The Prison-Industrial Complex | Criminal Minds 

In Yhara Zayd’s youtube video Holes & The Prison-Industrial Complex, Yhara discusses the parallels between Camp Greenlake and the prison system. This includes how poverty and homelessness are two of the many reasons why children end up at Camp Greenlake. These examples, whether intentional or not, are, in fact, two of the largest reasons why people end up in prison or juvenile detention centers in the first place. Many people often don't think about how poverty can affect one's outcome in life, especially when the outcome eventually ends in a prison or detention center, with the exploitation of hard labor and how it equates to changed behavior. Another topic this movie also demonstrates is the inherent racism in the prison system and the portrayal of inmates in prisons. Yhara gives us the example of Zero and how he is living at the intersection of Blackness, poverty, and illiteracy. With this combination of disenfranchisement, the viewer sees how Zero is treated at the camp and his treatment once trying to improve his ability to read and write. So this very particular instance falls in line with how people treat passed felons when trying to better themselves. 

Washington, DC has a 46.31% Black and African American population; however, this same group of people has a 25.64% rate of poverty, similar to the last paragraph of this paper. This may tell us why so many Black inmates are portrayed in D.C. prisons. When looking at the series Criminal Minds, which takes place in Washington D.C. In season 12, Dr. Spencer Reid goes to prison, and the viewers can see that Spencer is one of the only white men in this prison. What this means is that he is largely surrounded by Black men and other minoritized groups of people. To the viewer, this portrayal of prison inmates allows for a certain stereotype to move to the front of their heads about how Black men and other minoritized groups are inherently mischievous and criminal. This stereotype is perpetuated by dialogue between the characters and the other plot lines. So if this is the way that Hollywood is portraying prisons and the people in them, how are anti-feminists and consumers meant to look at people being released from prisons or entering prison? 

In both of these film examples, we can see the way that whiteness is used in contrast to minority groups, specifically Blackness. In Holes, the white characters are allowed to focus on their mental health and are often spoken to by the camp Green Lake counselor with compassion while minoritized children are often dismissed, The example in the video was of Zero and the intersections of his disenfranchisement which led him to Camp Green Lake in the first place. While in Criminal Minds, Dr. Spencer Reid is basically set up from the beginning as an innocent white man in a sea of “guilty minorities,” and he is inherently seen as nonviolent while being all consumed by the rules outside the prison instead of trying to assimilate and survive in the prison that he currently resides in. This very much falls into hooks thinking of the inherent white innocence and the idea that white people do not need to assimilate, but Black people and immigrants have to assimilate in order to survive in America. So it's almost as if the example of immigrant assimilation is flipped on his head when Spencer refuses to assimilate, leading to this idea that white people inherently think that their way is the best way.

Humanizing Prisoners

The humanization of inmates is very important when talking about prisoners' re-entry into society, but also, the humanization of inmates in portrayals on TV allows wider society to understand what it's actually like in persons instead of allowing misconceptions to fill the minds of viewers. Speaker Anthony Wyatt uses the example of jokes often told about prison, an example being ‘don't drop the soap’ this example makes light of the sexual assault of prison inmates. Wyatt tells the audience about how this joke allows the public to dehumanize prison inmates and the violence they face in prisons. Wyatt also poses two different kinds of mentors in prisons: the content and the ambitious. The way that he describes these inmates is how content prisoners don't particularly learn from their experiences, and they tend to just sit in their anger while people who are ambitious are active in encouraging new inmates to find spiritual release, read, deal with their emotions and accept what they've done and try to grow from it. This kind of mentorship can be seen in the portrayals of prison leave; however, it's usually only one individual who holds this ambitious mentor characteristic. Oftentimes there is inherent blame on other inmates who do not hold this characteristic of ambition.

 The dehumanization of prisoners really does lead to many of the debates that we see happening right now about mass incarceration and prison reform programs. Many people who do not agree with prison reform still view inmates as less than people and as objects or as their crimes. Instead of seeing these people as someone who has made a mistake or someone who is capable of rehabilitation. This again stems from the portrayal in media and what consumers are engaging with. If white people see something on the news that involves a Black man doing something violent or even the assumption of a Black man doing something violent they are inherently wary of all Black people. This reaction is due to the historical realities of white supremacy and the objectification of enslaved Africans during the Atlantic Slave Trade and its continued repercussions. Again because of these white realities, it makes it harder for felons to assimilate back into society after their prison sentence. That felony is on their permanent record, and people and employers have preconceived notions of people who have been to prison. 

OSU’s  “Tough on Crime” 

Dr. Shari Stone-Mediatore is a professor at Ohio Wesleyan who has an article titled Tough Questions for Tough-on-Crime Policies this article talks about how tough-on-crime politics didn't really help anyone. In fact, just made people feel more unsafe; the abuse of minorities and those in prison skyrocketed and made the right to a speedy trial much harder to obtain in our current legal system. This reminded me of universities implementing neighborhood safety emails, especially the neighborhood emails at The Ohio State University, which have been the talk of students for the last year now since they implemented them on the Columbus campus. Some of the questions that stem from these discussions are generally about if the school is using this to trigger white parents and push them to demand more police presence on campus, using it as a way to police students and the community surrounding campus, and are they using it as an excuse to gentrify places in Columbus? This definitely comes from the tough-on-crime generation, as administrators are constantly not listening to students at universities across the United States. The general consensus among students is that this is for parents or for the advantage of schools and not for the safety of students, as many students don't feel safe with police on campus. This does have to do with the portrayal of prison inmates because of the view of crime even before a perpetrator is arrested and the way that crime is portrayed on college campuses in cities all across the US. 

This paper did not directly engage with anti-feminist sources; we did talk about the outlooks and topics that anti-feminists use when talking about tough-on-crime politics and pro-mass incarceration policies. Hopefully, this essay was able to bring to light some of the ways that media consumption can subliminally imprint stereotypes and negative feelings towards minoritized groups of people. As well as how if mass media corporations made the active decision to portray people in humanizing light that the public opinion of formerly incarcerated people may change and allow for former inmates and current inmates to have the opportunity to be rehabilitated truly and get the help that they need in a place that largely disenfranchises those with felonies.

久し振りの #駅弁 #かしわめし #中央軒 子供の頃、日本全国旅のすごろくが家にあり、温泉、駅弁など10種類くらいのテーマシートに沿って、日本全国を巡るゲームがありました。 私はいつも駅弁。 そのため、今でも駅弁を見つけると、わくわく♪してしまいます。 こちらは、中央軒の 1913年の発売当初のパッケージを再現した「復刻版」らしいです。 以下、中央軒のHPから 佐賀県鳥栖市と、鶏（かしわ）との関係は深く「肥前風土記」によれば、応親天皇（270年）の頃、この地方に鳥屋があり、いろいろな鳥を飼育して天皇に献上したことから「鳥巣の郷」といい、後（奈良期）に「鳥栖」となったと伝えられています。鳥栖の地では、昔からお祝事や来客の際には、鶏をつぶして料理をしたりご飯を炊いて、もてなす習慣がありました。この郷土料理を中央軒は「かしわめし」として大正２年、日本で最初に販売を開始しました。味の決め手は、米を炊く「だし」。かしわと鶏ガラを長時間煮込んでスープをとり、醤油、味醂などで味をつけます。この味付けご飯に細かく切って甘辛く煮たかしわ肉と錦糸卵、刻み海苔うをのせた伝統のお弁当です。 #復刻版かしわめし #鳥栖　#tosu #佐賀 #saga #お弁当 #鉄道旅 #ekiben #japan #ig_japan https://www.instagram.com/p/CdhHbO_v5nu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Man, this anime. People have been really hard on it since day one (and yeah, I understand WHY), but I've been really enjoying it honestly.

As a refresher, My Home Hero is about a dad who sees his college-aged daughter in an abusive relationship with a dickhead yakuza fuckboy, and through circumstance, ends up alone in her apartment with him, and decides to just fucking murder him. After beating yakuza boy's head in, Dad realizes how utterly fucked he and his family will be when The Organization inevitably finds out, and has to quickly come up with a way to not only hide the body, but fabricate an extensive web of lies to try and outwit The Organization. It helps that Dad is a salesman who used to collect and write crime novels, and knows how to - rather gruesomely - dispose of human remains in ways that will be nearly impossible to trace. While he is figuring shit out, Mom also stops by and is now inevitably tangled into this as well. She surprisingly is on board with it, and helps him get right to work.

But The Organization is no slouch, and they're onto these two. The whole anime so far (6 episodes) has been about the slow burn paranoia of every single lie being fabricated while the organization hunts for the missing fuckboy. The story itself is absolutely fascinating and honestly kind of thrilling in a very adult way that you just don't ever get to see in an anime. You would expect this from something like CSI or any daytime crime drama that your stay-at-home grandma watches while the kids are at school. Very unusual to see it in an anime (albeit a low-budget and very limited animation production).

What makes it truly interesting though is the lens this story puts on Dad. He is portrayed as very mild-mannered, nervous, a good conversationalist but still a bit of a geek, and yet, there is clearly a very dark undertone to his demeanor, given how quickly he is able to come up with convincing lies, act on his knowledge of crime and body disposal, predict The Organization's moves, keep calm under pressure, and quickly jump toward committing even more murder. One of the yakuza involved in their ongoing interrogation even commented on him being far more of a monster than he lets on. And Mom is hardly better, as she effortlessly follows his cues and assists with the body disposal and as of episode 6, even improvises her own solutions without even a speck of fear staring down the yakuza.

I haven't seen an anime this tailored for capital-A Adults since about the mid-00s, in the vein of stuff like Paranoia Agent and Ergo Proxy. And while I wouldn't put My Home Hero in the same boat as either of those, it's still super refreshing, in a similar way.

You bet your ass I'm gonna see this one to the end. I'll let you know how it goes!
