Self-fulfilling prophecy is when a person or group believes what is said about them so hard that they bring it into existence. The movie showed how many black men do not feel like they have options and winded up going down the wrong road. The jail system has no interest in help but keeping them there or coming back. The saddest part to me about this documentary was when I realized that people do not even get a fair hearing anymore. They are offered a bogus plea deal whether they did the crime or not does not even matter. To make matters worse if they try to take their case to court they are going to be hit even harder for having the audacity to want to fight the charges.
