Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Charisma Carpenter’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Charisma Carpenter – 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 Charisma Carpenter 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 Charisma Carpenter 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 Charisma Carpenter’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, Charisma Carpenter 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.

A story like Mystic River is far more likely a candidate as a first sale because it’s integrated character/plot without sacrificing one for the other.
Every scene that points a suspicious finger at one of the childhood buddies in the murder case becomes an external conflict that forces the unresolved issues of the past to the surface.
Charisma Carpenter – A devastating case of child molestation happens to one of three boys when they’re children. This event is the catalyst that separates them and it remains an unresolved internal conflict until they’re adults and an external conflict – the murder of one of the men’s daughter – brings it to the surface. It’s a character study wrapped around an external plot.
Mystic River successfully integrates a character study with an external plot. This film is also based on a book, but here we have a character study intertwined with a visual external plot.
And I think we all have our own processes for creating character, especially our main characters, who may very well be some version of ourselves… or who may arrive breaking down some door in your mind and demanding to be written about. Some people dream characters whole. All of that is fantastic. I would never in any way want to get in the way of whatever someone else’s process is, and I think the only real rule there is for writing is: “Whatever works.” And I mean, anything!
Charisma Carpenter – I think — I’m pretty positive, really — that most writers have characters in their heads from a very early age. Maybe all people do, because that’s what fantasy is, and we all daydream being other people, or super fantastic versions of ourselves. So in a way we’re all creating character all the time.
First, a disclaimer. While I am perfectly comfortable expounding about how to structure a story, I am not so comfortable talking about how to create character.
But if you are already happily into your index cards, and want to skip ahead to Act Two and keep going, absolutely, do it! (It starts in Chapter 12.)
