Well, I don't believe they would feel vicariously vindicated watching any of those shows. A friend of mine was recently at her father's bedside in an emergency dept. next to a rapist-murderer attended by 4 prison guards drawing their overtime paid by my NYS taxes. This guy kept talking to her and finally she said - "Buddy I am not your friend and frankly, you lost me at the rape and murder. I don't give a shit what has happened to you. Don't talk to me." However, he continued to try to talk to her and in particular stare at her. The prison guards did nothing. He got his surgical consult and an OR date and time the very next day. (Broken jaw d/t testifying against another rapist for a lesser sentence.. what can I say? snitches get stitches) but all paid for by us. I hope they break it again.
