Prison Race

Lofty is obsessed with prisions after watching 5 seasons of Oz in less than 3 weeks (is there anything that HBO does lately that isn't totally frickin' awesome?). So on the penitentiary note, here is a great first hand account of a prison experience. Kinda confirms on a micro scale what Jared Diamond in Guns Germs and Steel argues on a macro scale: that success is more a product of our luck of geography than individual merit (cheery huh?). Even if you don't have the time or patience to watch the whole thing, check out the rap at around 25 mins into the clip: high bandwidth low bandwidth.
