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

IT’S BEEN THROUGH A REVIEW PROCESS
DO NOT SEND OUT MATERIAL UNTIL
Yaya DaCosta – What happens if you ask for an expedited review and the review comes back recommending a page-one rewrite? You’re screwed because a producer isn’t going to remember you three months down the road when you’ve completed the re-write.
#2 You’re only going to get one shot at this – don’t blow it by sending something out that’s not ready.
Coming to consciousness, Jake sees Evelyn’s face (LOVE PLOT). She’s come to pick him up; the grove owner and his wife called her because they were worried about Jake (indicating that they’re good people, and likely telling the truth about everything).
Yaya DaCosta – SEQUENCE FIVE
ACT TWO, PART 2
This MIDPOINT has a lot of classic elements: it’s an action scene, both with the car chase and the fighting; Jake is almost killed, there’s a big location feel to it (we haven’t seen the orange groves before), and there’s a big REVELATION: the water department has been sabotaging the farmers’ wells. (Which is the precise opposite of what Yelburton has said — that the farmers have been sabotaging the dams.)
