See Dinah? I wasn't the one bringing up criminals that time. But speaking of serial killers, I'm reminded of <A HREF="http://www.dailynewarticles.com/article/762/13275/The_First_Serial_Killer_Ed_Gein.html" REL="nofollow">Ed Gein</A>. Gein lived as a man but he also occasionally dressed himself with real female genitalia. Does this make him a transexual, a transvestite, transgendered, or just a taxidermist?ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1149913497603684762006-06-10T00:24:00.000-04:002006-06-10T00:24:00.000-04:00Okay, there are more episodes to come.

If I were a mean person I would just leave the comment at that on the blog and let you explain it. I'm not mean, so I'll just say read <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1588515583/sr=8-1/qid=1149910883/ref=sr_1_1/002-1228639-3981648?%5Fencoding=UTF8" REL="nofollow">The Book</A> and you'll get it.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I'm wondering if you have to stop lithium a day before a sweat lodge ceremony if it's true body temperatures get to 102-106 degrees.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1149895362555978452006-06-09T19:22:00.000-04:002006-06-09T19:22:00.000-04:00If she's really not in jail, then I'd love to hear...If she's really not in jail, then I'd love to hear about her.

I posted on The Sopranos because I'd had enough forensic/correctional psychiatry to last a lifetime, and still you've managed to turn my post into What the Prisoners Watch!

That was a classic moment in television history. I too watched all the available seasons on DVD, although I have to say I didn't get to the point of calling around to find the missing episodes. When the daily dose of Sopranos wasn't available I augmented my entertainment with <A HREF="http://www.tv.com/oz/show/108/summary.html" REL="nofollow">Oz episodes</A>. Now there was a prison drama. As a general rule, I don't watch legal shows or police procedurals. In real life, serial killers and other murderers are never as charming, clever or interesting as they are in the movies. Real killers can't spell. Remember the old Eddie Murphy skit on Saturday Night Live where he recites his poem <A HREF="http://snltranscripts.jt.org/81/81apros.phtml" REL="nofollow">'Cill My Landlord'</A>? He nailed it. (Actually, real police have trouble spelling too. I can't tell you the number of police rape reports I've read where the victim suffered 'pencile penetration'.) The only thing I didn't like about Oz was that early on in the first season they couldn't seem to figure out what that nun actually did for a living. It was clear she was a mental health worker of some type, but they interchangibly referred to her as a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Eventually they settled on just calling her 'doctor'. And the prison was far too clean.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Then there's <A HREF="http://www.fox.com/prisonbreak/" REL="nofollow">Prison Break</A>. The only reason I started watching this series was because I read it had been filmed in the old Marion facility. The set was better---it actually looked like a prison for the most part, except again it was just too clean. The season ended recently with the promised breakout. The best part in the season finale was the scene with Haywire, the mentally ill inmate who also escaped. He was last seen wearing a football helmet for no apparent reason, riding down the street on a bicycle with his arms outstretched in a Titanic-ish 'King of the World' moment. Whatever happens next season, Haywire better be free, healthy and happy.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.com
