Locked Up - Extra Credit

For this week’s blog, I decided to do the show Locked Up.  It’s a show where a camera crew goes to a real prison or correction facility, and films inmates and basically everything that goes on in the prison.  At one point of the show it was comparing all male prisons to all female prisons, and including the amount of each gender in prisons that have both male and females.  In the statistics that were stated, there is almost double the amount of prisons for males than there are for females.  Without assuming, a correctional officer blatantly said that men are the main cause for crime in the world over women because of the much higher number of men in prison than women.  People can say that, that statement was sexist, but by the statistics it seems to be true.
