Others on the platform have posted similar videos. One shows how to make a giant tamale-like prison potato log. Another person prepares a similar prison wrap. There are also many videos of cooking made by people who are still imprisoned. Dishes cooked using methods that may or may not be legal in prison, perhaps not the process recorded on the phone. (You can see clips that look like frying empanadas in cans, cooking eggs in plastic bags, or baking wraps in a metal bunk.) The videos tend to be bright and nostalgic. Often carried. For example, Marci Marie says Cookie Rolls was a special treat that someone made to celebrate something.
Cooking is just a subset of the TikTok content created by people who were previously (and now) imprisoned. Some people face the camera, seriously educate their viewers about prison life, tell stories, and focus on answering questions. Marsi Marie gives many answers, such as “Is it safe to make friends in jail?” She (yes), and answered a message about how to iron clothes (soak in water, press with a cup or pot lid, and dry under the bed). Others explain how their liberation day or holiday was celebrated or the best form for burpees. The more you explore prison life content on TikTok, the more it seems to reflect all the popular genres of the platform, including cooking, life advice, boring dance, and training tips. On the outside.
Not in usa Lack of stories about prison life. It ranges from memoirs and novels 100 years ago to recent movies and television. But in recent decades, most of these depictions have focused on the most shocking aspects of safer prisons. Reality and documentary shows such as National Geographic’s “Lockdown”, MSNBC’s “Lockup”, A & E’s “Behind Bar” and Netflix’s “I Am Akiller” focus on escape, riots and fierce conflicts and at worst. Focuses on the most dangerous facilities. TV dramas like “Oz” and “Prison Break” did the same. The imprisoned population of the United States surged in the 1980s and 90s, but it was Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black” in 2013 that television extended and portrayed everyday life in a prison with minimal security. It was until the appearance of.
This focus on extreme conditions certainly distorts our perception of prison life. A hostile, alien and sneaky environment filled with violent and dangerous people (“murderers, robbers, rapists”) (“another world” with “unique rules”, “Behind Bars” (In the episode intro) is shown, “for each episode intro of” Lockdown “). These horrific situations are undoubtedly real in both documented prisons and other prisons. But when it comes to the entire system and the lives within it, they may not be completely representative. The United States has a surprisingly high percentage of people imprisoned. Most estimates are higher than any other country on the planet. The majority of the 1.2 million people in our prisons are sentenced to shorter sentences in less secure facilities, often due to nonviolent crimes. Their daily experience, even the toughest, tends to go unnoticed in prison dramas that go through imprisonment setbacks — glitchy and expensive video calls. Inedible food; the painful time of cell confinement — due to the swirl of murder plans, escape plans, and sexual violence.
