Cover your Mass.: Captive audience wasn't ready for "Brokeback"
Massachusetts’ largest prison is reprimanding a correctional officer for screening “Brokeback Mountain” before inmates, says the AP.
The Massachusetts Department of Correction said the c.o had not followed the standard procedure of not screening movies for “excessive violence, assaults on correctional staff, nudity or explicit sexual content.”
“I want to make it clear, it wasn’t the subject matter – it was the graphic nature of the sexually explicit scenes,” a spokeswoman said Monday.
