Corrections takes you behind the scenes of a complex, confusing and corrupt modern American institution: the prison industrial complex. Before seing this film, I wouldn't have known what that term really meant. Corrections sorts out all the political and commercial rhetoric and shows how people are making money, lots of money, by putting people in jail. Maybe you've heard that prison's are profitable, but it doesn't hit home until you are taken into a "correctional corporation's" convention, and hear sales people pitching their special restraining devices, or their long-distance plan, or their FILMS. Yes-one of Hollywood's fastest growing markets is the prison population.
Sadly, it's no surprise that all this "healthy" business would go under if crime decreased or less non-violent offenders were put in jail.
The filmaker of Correction has done an important job in creating an accurate picture of the whole situation, one the average person can't get from normal media. It's vital people start learning more about things happening like this in their communities, and Corrections is an important step in that direction.
