Thanks Drango.
For four hours, they conducted workshops under the direction of the Actors' Gang, an ensemble from Los Angeles, which goaded them into acting out emotions that could be put to use in the 17th-century Molière farce about, appropriately enough, a con man working a swindle.
That's just about as appropriate as it gets, right down to this PR piece.

A ‘safety valve’ for Actors’ Gang, actually.

Enough of that art crap. Make them work off steam the old-school way.

The room burst into giddy smiles and rubbery limbs from men in prison jumpsuits.

Sure they're acting? Maybe they just got their bed assignments. It IS California, after all.

I’m more concerned about keeping the “safety valve for citizens” AKA prison in place than this program. BTW, in My state these type of programs are known sarcastically as a “hug a thug” program.

“As would a much more frequent application of the death penalty.”

If you do it right, one application is enough. :)
