I just watched an episode of "I (Almost) Got Away With It" on television and became peeved at what I saw.

Kerry Silvers was sentenced to 61 years in a state prison for forgery and theft, contrary to what the show stated, which they said was 55 years for robbery and battery. Remember he's the bad guy. The sentence has to seem fair, somehow.

Anyway, he and a few other inmates escaped from prison. He fashioned a fake gun from toilet paper, a permanent marker, and tape. Again, the show had to make it seem bad by saying it was toilet paper and a homemade knife. He and the other inmates used the fake gun to subdue a couple of guards and secure their weapons. They then use the real guns to hold them up and they calmly walked out of prison.

The other two inmates were picked up rather quickly. He on the other hand, made it to the buffer zone between America and Mexico. He thought he was in Mexico when he quickly found out that he could not make past the military checkpoints neither into Mexico nor back into the United States. Nobody there would give him a job, so he ended up eating out of the trash and started to plan to swim through the Rio Grande back into Texas.

At this point, an American man offered him a job growing pot. They started growing, exporting, and selling high-grade pot. He and the American man stopped selling pot after a while, and now that Kerry had enough money, he and a woman that he had fallen in love with moved to Veracruz, Mexico where he got a job a a banana farm. Now, I don't remember where the baby came from, if he and the woman had it or if it was the woman's from a previous relationship, but he was now supporting the woman and the child now. Eventually, they got married as well.

One day, he set up his computer, the only thing he brought with him from America. His neighbors, noticing this, asked him to give computer lessons to their kids. After a while, he started teaching about computers at a school in the area. He then opened up his own business, an Internet cafe, as well.

At some point, he was approached by a man who offered him a job at the largest school in the state, teaching English. He sold his business and moved. After settling in, he opened up a video store.

One day on the way to his store, he was grabbed by a Mexican man and he quickly tried to fight back. He was then told by an American man behind him that they were U.S. Marshalls and he was under arrest and Kerry stop resisting. Kerry has now been back in prison for five years and is still awaiting trial for escaping prison.

Kerry Silvers had not only left behind his life of crime, but had become a more prominent contributor to society than the Marshalls that picked him up. He never killed or even injured anyone. He may have scared the shit out of those guards, but he didn't harm or have any intention of harming them.

Now, am I the only one who thinks that this is bullshit and that the justice system has missed the point? This story here is proof that the justice system is not about justice; it's about revenge.
