>In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam free.Why wouldn't this work IRL
>>221370198All it's missing is the wall
>>221370198Why even building a wall around an island?
>>221370198you cant make any money off that
>>221370198We skipped to the sequel, and we call the place California
>>221370198It's a very American concept. In other parts of the world the core of the city is the expensive and exclusive real estate because you're close to everything there. In America the 'inner city' is often used as a nigger crack slum. So it's not so much of a stretch to make Manhattan a place to exile people. You could implement the concept now with some other US cities, with just the fence needed. It's only harder to picture NY because it's been fixed up from being like that since the movie was made
>>221370198America is already an open air prison.
>>221370259This. Private prisons make a shit ton of money from the government for taking on prisoners. It's a whole business and they also spend a ton of money lobbying (bribing) government officials to influence laws to keep a steady supply of prisoners going because if by some chance not enough people were being arrested at any given time then they would lose money. Exile solves a problem for citizens who just want criminals kept away from them but provides no income for the people who actually run the country.
