What you want to do is convey the sense that the lifestyle afforded in a corrections institutional environment is highly undesirable.
Okay, try again.
You want to go to prison? Do you? You wanna get passed around from cell-block to cell-block like a box of Kleenex at a showing of Beaches?
Right. Again, what you want to do is use references that will resonate with the youth, at the very least. Ideally, those references will bridge the gap between youth and prison culture.
Okay, okay. Sorry. I’ll try again.
Ready?
Yeah.
Go.
You like the idea of prison? Huh? You want to get your butt swapped around like Pokemon Trading cards?
No. No.
Magic: The Gathering?
No!
You want to, punk, umm… get dished out, your butt, like a tray of hors d’oeuvres at a SoHo art opening?
No, no, no, no…
dished out like, like, a box of donuts at a corporate group synergy meeting?
I’m sorry, but I don’t think this is going anywhere.
I need the work, man.
Please hand in your bulletproof vest and padded combat gloves at the front desk.
Can I keep the cap at least?
Sure. Keep the goddamn cap.
