Crime Movies and Prison Films

please read Chapter 7 and follow the directions below.  

1. Answer the following questions:1.  Why have prison movies, despite their popularity failed to inform penal reform agendas?  Do you agree with Rex Bloomstein that documentaries such as those he produces have greater potential to change public perceptions of prisoners and lead to less punitive attitudes more widely? 

2. You need to cite with the page number(s) from the text. (Please do not simply copy the text, but rather apply critical thinking.)
