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

Use CAPS to introduce the characters! All characters! This helps the Casting Director who can skim through the script and pick out roles to fill. Capping a character’s name also tells the reader a new character is being introduced. This is the ONLY time a character’s name should be in CAPS with the exception of the secondary slug indicator to call for a specific shot.
There’s controversy on when to use CAPS in a spec screenplay and when not to use them. Here’s my two cents:
Meaghan Rath – Use of Caps
#NAME?
Also, secondary villains are often given the songs so you can have a vicarious musical delight in the evil before the real evil kicks in. Herod’s flashy honky-tonk song in Jesus Christ Superstar is a good example.
Meaghan Rath – However, as we see in The Nightmare Before Christmas, having a villain sing can make him or her less threatening to children, which is an important consideration.
But when it’s done well, the Villain’s Plan song can be really scary and effective; “Hellfire” from The Hunchback of Notre Dame is surprisingly graphic and true.
I want to point out that very often in musicals and especially in film musicals and animation, the Villain does not have a song; he or she will express the plan in words and action, not music. Except in the rare case like Sweeney Todd, music tends to undercut the impact of the villainy – you wouldn’t want to see the Wicked Witch of the West burst into song, now, would you?
