Step 1 - Proposal - Prisoner Abuse

My original idea for my video was going to be an act of some sort of Prisoner abuse. There are a lot of different types of Prisoner abuse including physical abuse, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, and torture. I was thinking of making a different scene for some of them, showing each of the different types of prisoner abuse. For my video based on psychological abuse in a jail cell, the prisoner would be subjected to taunting, sleep deprivation and white noise, where the prisoner is listening to an endless playing of static similar to the static you hear on unused tv frequencies. This can cause insanity and many mental disorders. In the physical abuse scene I would simply show a prisoner being mistreated physically with endless beating/hitting.

The main purpose of my video will be to raise awareness and show the audience that people are still being tortured in the modern world. I will be showing what happens to prisoners and how they are mistreated in jail. The first scene of the video will start off with a man in jail who simply flushes the toilet past 12 which angers the guard who was taking a nap on the job and that's where the abuse starts. The guard will than start to taunt the inmate and so on. For the physical abuse aspect of my video I will be showing an angered guard who has just gotten into a bit of trouble with the person in charge go down to the jail cells and take his anger out on a helpless prisoner.

Step 2 - Script

Scene One - Psychological Abuse

This is John's second night in prison and still has many more to come as he's been sentenced to 5 years in jail for drug trafficking. He awakes from his sleep and the first thing he looks at is the sleeping guard. He thinks nothing of it as he approaches the toilet.

John: *FLUSH*

Guard: *Wakes in anger and turns to the prisoner* Do you know what you just did?

John: I used the toilet what's the matter?

Guard: Around here, the rule is no flushing after lights out so you either go before or in the morning.

John: Who made that rule? What if someone simply wakes in the night and is feeling sick?

Guard: No flushing after dark. It's my rule, and you just woke me from the little sleep I get so you're in for it buddy.

John: ... What do you mean I'm in for it?

Guard: Since I'm gonna be awake for the next couple hours so are you.
 * Guard steps into the other room and returns with a small television*

John: Television?! I should've flushed yesterday.


 * The guard starts to laugh as he plugs the television in and sets it to a channel with no frequency and turns it up*

John: Uh... What's this? I hate this sound!

Guard: Good, I'll see you in the morning.
 * Guard walks upstairs and scene ends.*
