Do you think this video is scary?

Asked by luigirovatti (2950points) May 6th, 2020

First I asked you about an image, now I do about this video. Here’s the link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIjO_HZN2UE

Now, a bit of background information (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_Scared_Straight), the show is called “Beyond Scared Straight”, it ran from 2011 to 2015, the PEOPLE are real, the dialogue is scripted. It SHOULD not reflect real prison life, but you know, can’t say. I ALSO can’t say if this is “special effects” to make America scary, or just an example of what scary America can be. Brrrr.

I have no reason to be scared.
I remember Scared Straight being around in the late 70’s. The idea is nothing new.
Prison would be scary in any country. Some way worse than ones in the American system.

This is just more trashy “reality” crap, right up there with “real” housewives and professional wrestling. What should scare you about this stuff is the fact that others will hear you admit you have the bad taste to be caught watching it.
