Reading Rainbow of Desire*

Reading Rainbow is doing a show about prison! They're presently following kids on a visit to Sing Sing, where their father is in prison for shooting someone.

When the hell did RR get this depressing?

*Title is a play on the show's title and the title of Agusto Boal's "The Rainbow of Desire," which is a theater technique that my class is applying to the scene I'm in, which is based on a friend's experience visiting her honey at a nearby correctional facility. That too is depressing.
