HBOs Stranger Inside

Did anyone see this show last night? It was sort of like OZ, but with a female twist. If you haven't done so, check it out.

Those of you who saw it, your reaction please!

I understood why Brownie lied, for the manipulation of Treasure, and it worked. But don't understand why Treasure called herself Brownie. I asked AKAD to email me, because I didn't want to ruin it for people who havn't seen it.

I know it came on last night. But I missed it! I've been trying to get to HBO's site, but with no luck. Does anybody know when it's coming back on?

I didn't understand that either.
You can email me your thoughts.

I saw the movie......I wonder if there will be a sequel??

Okay, I had a few questions. I'm glad other people wondered why Treasure called herself Brownie.

1. What happened to Brownie in the end? I hope that's not giving away anything.

2. What about the Asian lady?

That movie reminded me of something I have known for years: CRIME IS BAD. I can't go to prison...I would be like that woman in the beginning.

I saw this movie last night. The acting was pretty decent. The scene in which Treasure received a 'revelation' after Brownie's fight was really sad. I wonder if this was a pretty good depiction of prison life. Anyhoo, Anyone who has questions about the movie, e-mail me. I don't want to spoil it for anyone else

Well I haven't heard of this, so obviously I haven't seen it...does any one know when its going to air again?

AKAD: I never want to go to prison is all I can sAY. The women are worse then the men. I seen it last week. The movie was excellent. But email me, I nned to know why Treasure did what she did at the end?

Question to anyone who saw the movie from the beginning: When inmates are being checked in, is the prison system really THAT unsterile? I mean, ew, they stuck that thing up everyone's butt without washing it off

That's disgusting. I mean let's say I'm at the end of the line. How can you tell me that you're going to stick that thingy in my rear when it has passed through everyone elses?? Um, I don't think so. I guess I would have been spending the night in the hole like that one girl.

I thought it was a really good movie. If that's how prison is, I never want to go, but I don't understand why Treasure called herself Brownie at the end. After what she'd done, I wouldn't want anything to do with her. Also, why did Brownie even lie in the first place?

I finally got through to the HBO website! Stranger Inside is coming on again this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. EST. It's coming on again after that next Monday, but I can't remember the time right off hand.

I also watched the movie but , I missed the first 1/2 hr. Being in Law Enforcement I can tell you that they summed up just about everything. Prison is no joke and especially maxaimum security one's like the movie.

BrandNubien thanks for the repeat time b/c I am dying to see it from the beginning.

If Brownie lied, where did Treasure get that picture from? Also, it was weird seeing Elenor from "Roc" playing an inmate.

I also saw the movie when it first aired. It is like the female version of the HBO show "Oz" I think Brownie lied because you see how she was all into "family" and stuff.
