We are very proud of this production – this is probably the most detailed and comprehensive look at the concept of punishment in a documentary format.
Original interviews with:
DR. DAVID SCOTT, Criminologist, University of Central Lancashire
PROFESSOR JOE SIM, Professor in Criminology, Liverpool John Moores University
DR. BOB JOHNSON, Prison Psychiatrist, Special Unit in HMP Parkhurst Prison
JOE BLACK, Prison Campaigner, Campaign Against Prison Slavery
SYNOPSIS: Punishment: A Failed Social Experiment provides a detailed, critical analysis of the current legal and justice system generally in operation across the planet whilst also providing potential solutions which work on preventing crime and creating a much more socially sustainable society.
The documentary film consists of interviews with various individuals; all of whom provide information on where we are going wrong when we treat offenders, and what we could head towards in regards to the solutions available.
It must be recognised that in order for change to occur in the system of punishment and ‘justice’, wider societal and cultural issues need to be addressed, as this documentary film recognises that there are inherent flaws in our current social system.
Although most sources of information originate from the United Kingdom, it is reasonable to state that the topics examined will apply to many other nations.
Punishment: A Failed Social Experiment is an independent film production and has been released online for free download and distribution.
Portugese subtitles are now available.
