Frederick Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Artsole ......Society is being given the wrong message when it comes to crime .....just look at the longest running TV shows ..Emmerdale ...Eastenders Coronation Street .....,most of the main characters in these shows seem to pop in and out of jail as a matter of course .......What a message to put out to the kids watching them .....Prison is just some place you go off you every now and again ....as seen on the soaps where crimes committed are a part of everyday life ....I havent counted them all but the number of characters having " done time " put together in these shows must run to double figures ?

Russethouse Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm afraid I disagree Frederick, currently a character in Emmerdale is in prison and it is hardly being painted as being glamourous, what is more the effect on his family is also portrayed in a derogatory sense. In Eastenders 'Jase' has been in prison and is anxious to avoid going back and Deans stay was hardly painted with a rosy glow.In Corrie Kevin Websters detention was shown to have consequences - to his family, his business etc........ what do you actually want to see ?
