People often make some mistakes inadvertently in their lives. In the final analysis, some mistakes are unintentional mistakes, which are inevitable and cannot be prevented in advance. Nevertheless, if there is a negligence, there is always a price to pay for it, and the negligence is greater, such as manslaughter, and even more legal responsibility, and even jail time. The American film "Prison Life" filmed in 2008 tells the story of an ordinary American young man who suffered from jail because of manslaughter. It’s just that this young man paid a heavier price and brought out the inside of the prison. The shady scene eventually regained his freedom and regained the lost family.
Like thousands of ordinary young people, Way Porter is a good man at home. He is preparing for the wedding and is about to enter the marriage hall to form a warm home. Wei is funny and humorous. He loves his girlfriend Laura and their son Mike, who have been together for six years. This is because his girlfriend complained that the price of the wedding dress he wanted to buy has risen again. Wei and his son teased and encouraged his girlfriend to buy it. The girlfriend was very happy. It can be seen in his expression. In terms of career, Wei founded a company of his own. In the eyes of employees, Wei is a good boss who manages well and treats others graciously. He pays employees on time.... What's more gratifying is that Wei's company finally obtained the long-awaited bank loan, which indicates that the company's business will take a step forward. At night, his girlfriend nestled in Wei's arms. The success of his career and Wei's care made his girlfriend very proud and satisfied. The two happily looked forward to a bright future. Do you know that disaster is quietly coming to them.
In the middle of the night, Wei was awakened by the noise in the living room. He vigilantly pushed his sleeping girlfriend, Laura, to the next room, and found his son safe and sound. Afterwards, Wei asked the mother and daughter to stay in the room. He picked up a baseball bat and tiptoed towards the door. Suddenly a stranger rushed out of the dark, knocked him to the ground and fled to the door. Wei got up and chased the gangster to stop, but the gangster refused, and reached out to take something from his pants pocket. In desperation, Wei hit the gangster on the head with a stick, and the gangster fell to the ground. Wei stepped forward and found that the gangster had died in anger. He rummaged over the gangster and found only one of his own wallets. Wei suddenly became confused and muttered: "Please, don't die," but it didn't help. This irreparable mistake was made.
The police arrived as scheduled, searched the scene, but did not find the murder weapon of the gangster. Based on the fact that the gangster did not pose a threat after leaving the house and was still knocked down and killed by Wei, the police preliminarily determined that Wei was guilty of murder and arrested him on the spot. Although Wei and his girlfriend argued with the fact that they were accidental and burglary and the possibility of shooting and threatening their children, the police still decided that it was better to stay in the house and call the police. In order to get out of jail as soon as possible, unable to pay a million bail and no relatives to help even sign a guarantee, Wei reluctantly accepted the lawyer's suggestion to admit manslaughter in court and was sentenced to three years in prison.
On the way to escort the prison, Wei witnessed a vendetta among prisoners, and was administratively quarantined by the prison for being coerced to hide the murder weapon. This series of disasters left Wei at a loss. He lost control of his emotions for a time, and he almost broke down and burst into tears. During the review, the prison authorities threatened and lured in every possible way, but Wei finally did not confide a word. The angry prison guard put Wei in the interval prison, and Wei also offended a group of prison guards headed by Lieutenant Bill Jackson. Wei didn't know, more trouble was waiting for him. On the first day of the release, Wei witnessed a fight between the prisoners in full view of the prison guards, and even witnessed the various illegal behaviors by the prison guards to intimidate the prisoners after abusing violent lynching. It turns out that the one-hour-a-day interval between prisons has actually become a vendetta time for prisoners under the acquiescence or even connivance of prison guards. It is also a daily entertainment program for prison guards, and prison guards bet on winning or losing.
Soon, a cellmate called John Smith came to Wei's room. After witnessing the brutal killing of his wife and daughter, he frantically retaliated, killing the two gangsters and their families, and let the gangsters understand how they felt lost. After the murder, John wanted to die so as to be with his wife Maria and daughter Anne forever. Unexpectedly, he was sentenced to life imprisonment inexplicably, which, to the frustrated, was no different from walking with a corpse, rotting to death in pain. John deliberately incited the prisoners to make trouble and was transferred to this prison. The infinite memories and longings for his wife and daughter are his courage to live. The strange tattoo symbols on his arms are actually an important calendar for recording the time with the mother and daughter. There is also a blank space for reunion in fantasy. Recorded. But the perverted Lieutenant Jackson took away his last photo of the mother and daughter and his only consolation for survival.
The life in prison was very difficult. Wei often had nightmares. In his dreams, he recalled the terrible scene that caused him to go wrong today, and he deeply regretted it. What's more troublesome is that the moral codes of the outside society are all abandoned in the prison, replaced by the police game rules, and gangs and racial homicides flood the prison. The group of inmates who once made Wei a scapegoat invited Wei to join the group. John stopped him in time when he found out, and opposed him joining the gang, accidentally boarding the thief ship, and pointed out Wei Jin and taught Wei the rules of survival in prison.
After Wei was imprisoned, the life of his girlfriend Laura was also in trouble, and the mortgage loan expired, Laura simply couldn't afford such a heavy life pressure. At Wei's repeated requests, he sold his house, house, car, and everything that could be sold, and sold all his belongings. Laura, who had nothing, had to stay with her son at her mother's home, and found a temporary job, and her life was very difficult. She couldn't see her son often, and she had to endure her mother's nagging. People she knew stared at her sympathetically, which made Laura unbearable. During a visit, she couldn't help but quarreled with Wei and turned away.
The tortured Wei, who was troubled internally and externally, decided to change his face with the help of John in order to be able to live until the day of his release. He chose to deal with the abhorrent and violent prisons and inmates, staying strong and forbearing, gradually. He also became cruel and cold-blooded. After the meeting with his girlfriend broke up unhappily, in an important guest watched by Lieutenant Jackson, Wei gave up without a fight, letting the guests who were waiting for the good show leave without interest, and Lieutenant Jackson, who was so embarrassed and angry, shot with rubber bullets. Defeated Wei.
Lieutenant Jackson has been dealing with prisoners for 19 years, and he has personally experienced six attacks on the police. In one of these incidents, a prisoner named Samson attacked him with poison gas and insulted him with feces and urine. Unfortunately, Lieutenant Jackson was infected with hepatitis A. , Also infected his wife and children, and eventually caused his wife to leave. From then on, Lieutenant Jackson held a grudge against the prisoner named Samson and waited for an opportunity to retaliate. Finally, Lieutenant Jackson seized an opportunity and successfully instigated the prisoner who made Wei a scapegoat and dragged him to join the gang. He obtained evidence of Samson's murder in the prison car. While accusing Samson of the murder, he also accused Samson of murder. Wei went to court together. In the end, the court convicted Samson of first-degree murder and life imprisonment. It also convicted Wei of conspiracy after the murder, with a maximum sentence of three years. In view of the strong testimony of Lieutenant Jackson, he added three years of imprisonment for his involvement in gang activities. Wei's sentence was extended by another seven years, who was released after serving his sentence in four months.
Extremely desperate and almost mentally broke, Laura, who could no longer hold on, accepted her mother's advice and decided to leave Wei at one time. After receiving the breakup letter from his girlfriend, Wei didn't care about anything. He was almost crazy. In every fight, he beat his opponent to the skin and flesh. He didn't stop until he was shot down by the prison guards with rubber bullets to vent his heart. Resentment.
Wei's son Mike asked his mother why he put his father's clothes in the storage room? Laura tried her best to explain, but she did not expect that when she turned around, her son had carried her father's clothes back to the room. Laura was deeply moved, feeling that their mother and daughter could not live without Wei, so she went to prison again. The arrival of Laura caused Wei's sadness and happiness to come together, and immediately confided: Without them, mother and daughter, he would rather not go out, hoping that Laura would wait for him. Laura was very moved, saying that he would wait for him no matter how long, and hope that when he comes out, he will be the same. Love is the most elusive force in the world. Wei, who regained love, is determined to seek justice from Lieutenant Jackson, the guy who deprived him of his seven-year reunion with his family, and expose their sinful behavior. His idea was supported and helped by John.
Lieutenant Jackson’s management of prisoners became more and more brutal and unbelievable. He often shot and killed the prisoners after instigating them to fight each other in order to vent and make fun. All this got the acquiescence of the warden, and was silently watched by a new prison guard Roger Collins, who transferred from the US military in South Korea to this prison at about the same time as Wei's imprisonment. Colleagues of Lieutenant Jackson for many years have repeatedly persuaded him to act according to the rules. But Lieutenant Jackson disagreed, still clinging to his own opinions and going his own way. Lieutenant Jackson’s only son, Todd, was killed when he was hit by a drunk driving. Lieutenant Jackson, who had not recovered from the worries of his wife’s departure, completely lost control. Kneeling down on the side of his car, crying bitterly, helplessly begging the Lord, Jesus.
Wei took the initiative to meet with Lieutenant Jackson and proposed to dedicate him to a beautiful performance. His opponent was a black man who had fought against Wei when he was just in prison. Lieutenant Jackson, who had lost his beloved son, said viciously that only one of the two could go out alive. Wei ventured through his girlfriend to find Mr. Gordon Camos, John’s old friend, contacted the FBI and rushed to the prison as planned. He wanted to get the video tape first. The duel performance was held as scheduled at 8:00 in the morning. The prison guards and prisoners were all shrouded in prison. In a tense atmosphere. The conscientious prison guard Roger tried to dissuade Wei from giving up the fight and confessed that he was different from Lieutenant Jackson. Wei took the opportunity to ask Roger to help. After John's last encouragement, Wei Yi walked into the yard where the duel of life was about to be met without hesitation. The opponent snarled and rushed up when he saw Wei, and the two twisted into a ball. From the very beginning, Wei was at a disadvantage, unable to fight back, blindly avoiding. Seeing this, John quietly took off his glasses, took out a small sharp blade hidden in the temples of the glasses, hid it on his body, and prepared to pass it to Wei. In the surveillance room, Lieutenant Jackson’s accomplices reminded Wei that he had learned a lesson and wanted to stop the game. Lieutenant Jackson flatly said, "No." Wei Zhunzhun, who had been passively beaten, grabbed his opponent's private parts and started a counterattack, finally knocking his opponent to the ground. Lieutenant Jackson encouraged Wei to continue to put his opponent to death, but Wei abruptly stopped the last blow, stood up, clenched his fists, and glared at Lieutenant Jackson like a demonstration. The furious Lieutenant Jackson fired a warning shot, threatening Wei to kill his opponent, otherwise the next bullet would be shot at him, and Wei was unmoved. Lieutenant Jackson raised his gun and aimed at Wei again. At the very moment of the shot, John, who was watching, stepped forward and stood in front of Wei. Then Samson led the other prisoners to stand in front of Wei. Facing the sudden collective resistance, Lieutenant Jackson was mad and wanted to kill him. His colleagues stopped him again and reminded him: this will ruin us, we still have a home, it is not worth it, forget it. Lieutenant Jackson had no choice but to give up. A massacre temporarily passed. Lieutenant Jackson’s associate Diaz had a foreboding and turned off the surveillance video. The prison guard Roger watched what happened.
Back in the cell, John was still worried about whether Wei's girlfriend could contact Gordon. Wei sighed to John: "I can't believe it. You can make so many inmates stand up bravely." John explained: "For them, they hate the police more, especially Lieutenant Jackson." At this time, the prison guard appeared outside the door, and viciously told the two of them to go back to the yard.
Back in the deserted yard, John and Wei were asked to raise their hands and lie on the ground. "Crack", when the door rang, Lieutenant Jackson and his accomplices walked out of it. Lieutenant Jackson threw away his baton as he walked and asked if Diaz in the surveillance room upstairs was ready? In the surveillance room, the panicked Diaz hurriedly took aim at John and Wei and replied: "Sure." I saw Lieutenant Jackson with a murderous face and took out a dagger from his waist. Dare to stop, hurriedly leave with excuses, a murder is about to happen. Roger, who had been monitoring in the dark, quietly turned on the video. Lieutenant Jackson mumbled to kill the two people, faked the murder scene and walked to Wei. While he held Wei, he raised his dagger and was about to stab him. John, who was lying next to him, jumped up like lightning, holding him already. The blade in his hand stroked towards the back waist of Lieutenant Jackson. Suddenly, Lieutenant Jackson's knife-raising hand stayed in the air, and blood sprayed from his back through the torn clothes. Almost at the same time, the gunfire from Diaz in the surveillance room upstairs also rang, and John was shot. Just as Lieutenant Jackson turned his face in astonishment, John tried his best to slash a fatal knife at his neck, and Lieutenant Jackson fell to the ground immediately. The gunfire sounded again, and John fell to the ground with two shots. Before he died, John asked Wei: "Do you think God will let me see my family now?" Wei replied: "Yes." John closed his eyes in relief. Seeing that Lieutenant Jackson was dead, Diaz in the surveillance room upstairs suddenly panicked. At this time, Roger pressed the alarm button, and the ringing sounded suddenly. Roger bravely said to the terrified Diaz: "You are finished."
At this moment, FBI agents arrived in time with Wei's girlfriend and Gordon, and intercepted the warden who was going to the scene of the accident at the door of the office. After learning that a prison guard and a prisoner had died, Wei's girlfriend was paralyzed at the time. After asking in detail that it was not Wei, she recovered. FBI agents intervened in time and successfully obtained the videotape. After watching it on the spot, it was announced that the FBI had taken over the case. As an FBI witness, Way Porter was held in protective custody until his release. During the preliminary inquiry of the warden, the most exciting scene was the warden questioning: "Camos, how did you know before the incident?" Camos replied, "You know, Frank, what is incredible about me is you I don’t know!” After the investigation, the FBI agent told Wei’s girlfriend that Wei had been protected and would testify for him to try to be released after the end of the original sentence. In other words, in less than three months, Wei had Can get out of jail. Girlfriend Wei excitedly stepped forward to hug the FBI agent. At this point, the prison shady was completely exposed.
Everything in the prison is back to normal, and the Bill Jackson era is over. The prisoner who was instigated by Lieutenant Jackson and led to Wei's innocent sentence was transferred from a single cell to an ordinary cell. The roommate who greeted him was Samson, who was sentenced to life for his informant... Wei was released from prison as scheduled, and he was greeted with a warm hug from his girlfriend and son. The prison disaster caused by a mistake has passed, but Wei will always remember it, let alone John Smith, who died for him. Three years of nightmarish prison life made Wei understand what is most important: family and loyalty!
