Captain Munsey: Escape From Prison
At the underfunded and overcrowded Westgate Penitentiary, the situation is like a ticking bomb ready to go off.
Under those circumstances, the rebellious and tough-to-break inmate Joe Collins and his fellow prisoners in the crammed cell R17 are kept on a short leash by the sadistic, manipulative and power-craving guard, Captain Munsey.
Eventually, Joe with dreams of escape and at the end of his tether, he will finally have all set to crack the wall open, but with his rusty shackles so thick and heavy, is it possible to escape from the prison and Munsey’s ever-watchful eye?
In the end, when freedom is so expensive and precious, who knows what great lengths one can go to be free at

    Many of these facts are talked bout and proven by journalist Ted Conover in his engrossing account of the year he spend as a correctional officer. (correctional officers or COs as they are known as, dislike the term "guard") at the maximum-security Sing Sing Prison in New York. Conover, always fascinated by prisons and curious about what the life of a guard was really like, approached the New York Department of Correctional Services with a request to write a profile of the experiences of a new recruit, but was turned down. So he decided that his only option was to become a guard himself in which he would get better incite about prison anyway especially if he was working on the inside of the prison, instead of just hearing stories and not…

    Unflinching about what he sees and feels, Conover gets scared and intimidated, but he's not alone. Prison guards are significantly outnumbered by the inmates they're supposed to control. He portrays other guards as guys (and a smattering of women) who mostly do their best to corral their fear and who patch their psychological holes with whatever putty lets them do an unimaginably difficult job. For some, he admits, that putty becomes…

    Americans enjoy more personal freedoms than any country in the world, but, since the attacks on the “World Trade Center” and the “Pentagon” on 9-11-2011, and the subsequent passing of the “Patriot Act”, the American way of life has been forever changed, and a lot of the personal, private freedoms Americans enjoy are gone. The text in the center of the art piece sets the tone. It forces the viewer to ask themselves the question. Are we really free?…

    The Price of Freedom (An Observational Essay on the Freedoms discussed by Kennedy and King) Freedom is not free. A phrase that is heard many times when one is growing up, but that is not always pondered and thought about. Throughout the history of the United States, there have been multiple struggles for freedom and equality. For example, the struggle for the freedom of slaves in the 1860s and beyond, or the fight for women's rights in the 1920s.…

    Today, we enjoy a greater modicum of freedom that some of our ancestors could've only dreamed of. However, as we all know, freedom is, quite ironically, not free. Our ancestors all had to escape oppression, whether it be from a tyrannous ruler or a society that demeaned them to nothing because of the color of their skin or their gender. America, the land of opportunity, was a land built by the labours of our forefathers. These men and women fought so valiantly not only to ensure their freedom, but also the freedom of the future generations ahead of them. Even today, although we may not realize it, when we fight for a cause that we are dedicated to, we are not only cementing our futures, but the futures of those ahead of us. It is a quote from…

    America’s Gift to My Generation John Quincy Adams once said, “You will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.” I believe what he is trying to explain is that our freedom’s price was far too costly for it not to be taken advantage of. His quote provided a sufficient amount of evidence for me to prove that freedom is a very generous gift from America.…

    Freedom for Granted In this country, the United States of America, we have a reputation as “The Land of the Free”, as in every man and woman that is a part of this country has the same equal opportunity to prosper. According to Albert Camus’ idea, “Freedom is only a chance to be better.” Inspiring hope, it shows that here in this country, we have many chances to become better, and by becoming one step closer to freedom; we are one step closer to becoming a better nation. I would love nothing more than to agree with this quote, but the fact that every chance our country has gotten to move on from the horrible time of slavery, we choose to stay stagnant. On the contrary, we see that people who are emancipated, or given freedom…
