The film was loosely based on the non-fiction book, You Are Going to Prison by Jim Hogshire. It was released in theatres November 17, 2006. The film received mostly negative reviews and was not financially successful. Plot After serving three prison sentences, repeat offender John Lyshitski plots revenge on Judge Nelson Biederman III, a tough judge who presided over each of his trials, passing him stiff sentences. John calls the courthouse to determine when he will next preside over a case, only to discover that he died three days before John's release. John turns his attention to the late judge's obnoxious son, Nelson Biederman IV. At a dedication ceremony for Judge Biederman, he breaks into Nelson's car, emptying his emergency inhaler. After the ceremony, John stalks him in his van and a hyperventilating Nelson frantically searches through a pharmacy's shelves for a new inhaler. His erratic behavior horrifies the owners, who think he is a junkie. After Nelson finally finds an inhaler, he uses it; then he holds it up to prove he means no harm, but the pharmacy owners mistake it for a pistol and call the police. John fires a real shot into the air. The gunshot further terrifies the shop owners, who think Nelson is shooting at them. The police arrive and arrest Nelson. John is ecstatic that Nelson has landed in the criminal justice system which he suffered in for so long at the hands of Nelson's father. Nelson is charged with felony assault. Demanding that the Biederman Foundation get him acquitted, the board nearly complies. However, as they are fed up with him, they realize they can get rid of him. They purposely provide Nelson with a grossly incompetent defense team at the trial. The incompetent jury find Nelson guilty and he is sentenced to three to five years in state prison. John, not satisfied with Nelson merely going to prison, decides to join him there by purposely selling narcotics to undercover cops. At his trial before the same judge Nelson had, John pleads guilty and convinces her he be sentenced to three to five years in the same prison as Nelson. He becomes Nelson's cellmate, pretends to be his friend, and gives Nelson terrible advice on surviving in prison. Despite being
