The tagline for Oz was, “It’s no place like home.” The creators thought they were being clever, riffing off Dorothy’s line from The Wizard of Oz. But therein lies the central problem with all shows that portray prison as exotic: Prison actually is very much like home. Nobody gets to choose their family, the cast of characters we all have to figure out how to get along with for years. We wake up one morning and realize our life has intersected with people who might have shitty histories, knucklehead intelligences (or generic emotional pain and fumblings), and we just got to figure out how to cope. Home life. Same inside. The world behind bars is full of the same stupidity you find out here: the same sloppy sufferers, the same professional prevaricators, fantastic fornicators, addicts of every stripe — basically, the same wide range of human behavioral tics that you’ll find in the general population. And that’s why I started this essay with the claim that Orange Is The New Black is the real deal. The show — though not a biopic, therefore not literally accurate — still captures truthfully the zaniness of prison. And the sex agonies. The fortunate camaraderie. The hidden likenesses between the guards and prisoners. The collaborations. The antagonisms. The pain of family visits.
‘Orange Is The New Black’: The New Way To See Prisoners
Joe Loya: The Beirut Bandit at Toronto International Film Festival. Here is the trailer for the series.
Episode Two. Joe Loya. The Beirut Bandit.
On this episode of Crime: The Animated Series, Joe Loya, former bank robber and author of The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell, talks about his early bank robbing days.
On Wednesday, July 10th, the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles will launch a new webseries called CRIME: The Animated Series through its new contemporary art video initiative MOCA.tv. The series was created by Sam Chou of Toronto’s Style5 and author/filmmaker Alix Lambert, whose book CRIME inspired the series. Each of CRIMEâs six parts are produced by a different animator/designer in their own personal style, albeit using the same spare red-white-black color palette, and feature interviews with law enforcement, criminals and the victims of crime. The episodes shine a light on the “dark, compelling, heartbreaking, and yes â sometimes funny” subject of crime and how it affects society. The screening, which is FREE, starts at 8pm (doors open at 7) at MOCA (250 South Grand Avenue, LA, CA 90012), and will be followed by a panel discussion with Sam Chou, Alix Lambert, bank robber-turned-author Joe Loya, sociologist Althea Wasow and true crime writer Jimmy Wu.
