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

JOE, 20’s, enters. He steps over a stack of old newspapers. Makes his way past a coffee table stacked with dirty dishes and flops down on a couch.
INT. JOE’S HOUSE – DAY
Nathan Lane – RIGHT:
Old newspapers strewn everywhere. Dirty dishes stacked on a coffee table. JOE, 20’s, enters. He walks over to the couch, flops down.
· There is commonly a theme of the CHANGELING CHILD. A classic childhood fantasy: “These aren’t my real parents. I’m actually a prince/ss in disguise!” Again, Harry Potter!
Nathan Lane – Deepak Chopra says this in a way that sums up the exhilaration of the Harry Potter series: “We are all wizards and witches.” Kids know that. Adults all too often forget it and spend a lifetime trying to remember.
· The characters often have SPECIAL POWERS or SUPERPOWERS. This is another theme of the teen age. Because it is the absolute truth: we all do have superpowers. We are all infinitely powerful; we just need to remember we are.
· There is often a REBELLION against entrenched adult values and political systems. The Hunger Games is a prime example, of course. It’s the teenagers who have to make moral choices and take moral actions against a corrupt or broken or even horrific adult system. This is nothing new AT ALL; it was the spirit that defined the sixties and is pretty much is the major theme of adolescence. And this is why, I think, dystopian fiction is so popular with YA readers. The genre, by its very nature, says that the system is broken and challenges the characters — and the readers — to fix it. I love that about dystopian! Makes my Berkeley heart proud.
