14 Days in May
This documentary is about a black american citizen accused of killing a white police officer and raping a white woman. The documentary is set in America. The prisoners name is Edward Earl Johnson, a religious man with a big family. He had spent eight years in prison on death row convicted of the crimes mentioned above. He was said to have shot the white police officer five times, and raped a white woman.
Life in the prison didn’t look bad for the prisoner. He was treated equally among all the other prisoners, regardless of colour, and all the prisoners were treated the same. The atmosphere in the prison was good, and calm. No-one was rude to anyone else, and no-one did anything bad or anything they were not supposed to. The prison staff had mixed feelings toward whether he was innocent or not. Some believed he was innocent, but others didn’t. The people who believed he wasn’t innocent may have believed it for different reasons, but I think one of the main reasons for this was prejudice. The prisoner himself was coping with the situation very well. Even though he knew there was a strong chance he would die, he was very calm. He prayed everyday, he slept soundly, and he was at peace with himself. The different people in the prison reacted and responded to the prisoner in different ways. The prison guards treated him well, as an equal to everyone else and themselves. The prison governer believed that the prisoner was guilty, but despite this, he didn’t treat him any differently to anyone else in the prison. The other prisoners treated him well. His family treated him well. They all believed he was innocent of all charges, and treated him as a proper member of their family. His lawyer also believed he was innocent, and treated him well. The T.V. crew treated him with caution when they were around him, since they hadn’t been there from the beginning and didn’t know whether the accusations were true or not.
