Survivors Guide to Prison is a very uncomfortable viewing experience. It will make you angry and shock you. But with this sort of subject matter, maybe that is the appropriate effect. August 28, 2018 | Full Review…

A feature-length indictment of an American legal system in which justice comes a distant last behind the interests of politicians, prosecutors, private-prison operators and the big-name companies that profit from the forced labour of a million prisoners. July 19, 2018 | Full Review…

A sobering look at a life any of us, if enough things work against us, could find ourselves living, "Survivor's Guide to Prison" is a film that should not be missed. May 21, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Survivors Guide to Prison has changed the way I view the American justice system. There's not enough room in any review to account for all of it's essential information. It is a testament to how the 1% rule our world at the expense of everyone else. February 24, 2018 | Full Review…

As much an action plan for those outside prisons as it is a survival guide for those about to enter the darkness inside. February 22, 2018 | Full Review…

Cooke crams in so much persuasively appalling information ... that it's easy to forgive him for seemingly trying to push all viewers' proverbial buttons at once. February 21, 2018 | Full Review…

Somewhat star struck and glib, but always useful and sobering in its advice, chilling and damning in the broken system it portrays. February 20, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
