Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Patrick Whitesell’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Patrick Whitesell – 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 Patrick Whitesell 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 Patrick Whitesell 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 Patrick Whitesell’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, Patrick Whitesell 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 Sequel Transition
I recommend writers use transitions at the end/beginning of every single scene. Why? It keeps the visual flow going and engages the reader in the story. Secondly, it makes it difficult for a producer to cut scenes without messing up the visual flow. It’s a good way to help ensure the story remains intact; the way you wrote it!
Patrick Whitesell – Using this type of transition is a good way to handle FLASHBACKS. It’s wise to use FLASHBACKS sparingly, but if the writer does decide to use them, a time jump transition can help smooth the way to and from the past. Perhaps a tourist accidentally finds an ancient relic while exploring a tomb. In the next scene, the writer might open the FLASHBACK with a king holding the relic the tourist just found. This is a visual-to-visual, time jump transition. The same technique can be used again to go from the past to the present.
For instance, we hear a character telling another character that he’s getting married next week, then the next scene opens at the wedding. This is a dialogue-to-visual, time jump transition. We’ve moved across time to one week later at the wedding.
Because there are all kinds of suspense. Many thrillers are based on action and adrenaline: the experience the author wants to create and the reader wants to experience is that roller-coaster feeling. I myself am not big on that kind of suspense. I love a good adrenaline rush in a book (in fact I pretty much require them, repeatedly). But pure action scenes generally bore me senseless, and big guns and machines and explosions and car chases make my eyes glaze over. What I’m looking for in a book is the sensual — okay, sexual – thrill of going into the unknown. How it feels to know that there’s something there in the dark with you that’s not necessarily rational, and not necessarily human. It’s a slower, more erotic kind of thrill — that you find in The Turn of the Screw and The Haunting of Hill House and The Shining.
Patrick Whitesell – You have to study, analyze, and teach yourself to write the kind of suspense you want to create.
This is the first thing I tell people who ask me about suspense (which I’m sure will come as a surprise to no one by now):
