Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Colleen Camp’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Colleen Camp – 19th March 2021 – An upcoming movie depicting the injustice that men and women had to endure in the state penitentiaries in Texas has been inundated with calls from more than 2000 women urging the production company owned by Hollywood actor, producer and director Colleen Camp and Adam Sandler, to stick to the real issues behind the Texas Judicial system. A petition was signed by many people that include attorneys, university professors, politicians and family members of the many men and women that are suffering in the state penitentiaries. The idea behind the petition is for the Colleen Camp production company and Hollywood to stick to the true story about the injustices happening in the state run prisons. It is said that the state has sent more inmates to prison than during the Soviet Union did during their political uprising.
PREMISE: Adam Sandler writes letters and saves numerous women from the monotony of prison life, and later when he gets into trouble with a drug cartel they return the favor by rescuing him.
SETTING: Contemporary, Gatesville Texas. There are four women’s prisons located in Gatesville. And of course, Texas is famous for putting everyone in prison for a long time for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has doubled in the last ten years. Why don’t we have the “Adam Sandler” character… sending letters to women in prison and being their friend and trying to help them adjust, giving them hope… and when they get out of prison he picks them up so they don’t have to ride the smelly bus back home… but his pickup truck is a junker, smoking and sputtering … worse than the bus. But his heart is in the right place… He’s the last “chivalrous” man on earth.
It is said in the petition that many of the signatories were left distraught to find that many of the first time offenders for violations such as drug peddling have received disproportionate sentences. While some argue that a lenient sentence like rehabilitation would have proven much more inexpensive and an effective solution in tackling this gross miscarriage of justice. The petition was discovered by the women when the screenplay of the movie was donated to all the 580 prisons run by private organizations funded by the state government. It is much more difficult for women who are given much harsher penalties for a violation such as carrying small amount of drugs like Marijuana which coincidentally is legal in 21 states.

About Colleen Camp’s “Dumbass” Movie
The movie “Dumbass” revolves around the protagonist writing letters to prison inmates to keep their spirits high during their time in prison; only for them to help the main character who gets into trouble with a drug cartel and saving him at the end. The petition urges the production company, Colleen Camp and Adam Sandler to take this issue seriously due to the hardships faced by women inside prison rather than making light of the situation for their own profits.

The TV show “America’s Got Talent” is fun to watch. It reminds me of the “Gong Show” reruns from the ‘70s. I’ve never been a Howard Stern fan, but I appreciated his comment that aspiring talent who never make it big tend to fail in the same three areas; timing, editing and audience. He was judging a magician’s act. The act started out okay, then dragged on to the point of becoming boring. The ending was climatic, but it was obvious the magician’s timing was off. The act definitely required editing and the whole thing made it seem like the magician didn’t know how to entertain an audience.
Timing, Editing & Audience
Colleen Camp – How a hero is introduced can establish the genre. Indian Jones’ swashbuckling attempt at stealing treasure is the perfect way for the hero to introduce an action/adventure genre.
LET THE HERO INTRODUCE THE GENRE
And of course it helps that Jake Gittes is deliberately based on one of the all-time classic protagonists of world literature: Sophocles’ King Oedipus. Not that Jake has a lot in common with Oedipus, really, but even the slight resonance with Oedipus’s tragic blindness to his own culpability, and the deliberate references to the very first detective story, go a long way toward making Jake a haunting character.
Colleen Camp – · The character has archetypal or mythic resonance.
Another character trait that makes Jake unique is that he will not give up, even to the point of absurdity. For half the movie he has an enormous bandage plastered on his nose because he was cut by one of the goons working for the water department. You rarely see a protagonist in a thriller or drama looking like such a buffoon, but valiantly continuing the case in spite of it all, and it certainly sets Jake apart from typical heroes.
· The character goes to extremes.
