As I have been settling in for the evening lately, I've noticed that the MSNBC news channel has been airing a lot of documentaries about life in prison.
Every night last week, it seemed there were two hours of prison documentaries followed by Keith Olbermann’s nightly attack on the Bush administration. Then after Olbermann, they went right back to the prison documentaries.
Don't get me wrong. Studying life in prison can be informative. For example, Johnny Cash's concert albums made at Folsom and San Quentin prisons are lively documents about life there.
However, MSNBC seems to have opened the floodgates when it comes to prison programming.
Am I missing something here? Is the demand for these shows that great? Or has MSNBC thrown in the towel when it comes to programming and has decided to show the same type of programs over and over again.

I'm going with the "throwing in the towel" theory.
Come on, now ... MSNBC broadcasts all them "Predator: Raw" shows. That's high drama, ain't it?!
