That would definitely depend on the politics of the particular state, and prison. For example the inmates are not segregated in NYS prison, and they don’t bang based on what race you are. They have almost 0 politics of a state like California. Many of the white inmates belong to the same gangs as every other race.

Whoever did Apocolypse script stole about 5-6 scenes of actual events in Dispatches and plugged them in movie based on JC's HEart of Darkness. If you're a fan of the movie read "Dispatches", it's full of little stories of "no way that could happen" but it did. Think Fear And Loathing meets up with a war book.

    Ok, FIRST, I'm OLD, VN old. Second, my first MOS was MP, BUT, as an MP for FORCES COMMAND HQ, Fort Bragg. NC-specifically a former XVIII Abn, Spcl Serv/Wfare "SKYDRAGON" here. Just so you know, in those days, units within my jurisdiction were primarily- XVIII Abn, 101 Abn, 82nd Abn, 75th Rangers, SpclForces (these "Green Beenie" types), Marine Recon, the UDT peeps, and a few more official (and 'un official') 'snake-eater) type units. My personal function? Well, it wasn't writing traffic tickets...Primarily I guess you could say I was one of the guys that got sent out to 'secure' ' members of the various "elite" forces, both in and out country, who for one reason or another, went 'off the reservation' and engaged in 'unauthorized behavior' as we called it back then: This ranged all the way from bar fights, drug trafficking; National Security concerns, to just plain going bat shit crazy and engaging in unsanctioned homicides /mayhem etc; Now, remember this was wartime i.e. LOTS of people were out killing people. As a consequence, along the way, I "assisted" a number of other units (got 'farmed out' :) ranging from CID, MPI, State, the FBI (who almost got me killed) a host of other Alphabet type units as well as being sworn in as a US Marshal (I was one of the first "Air Marshals"" after the Patty Hearst(SP?) incident). For Treasury I would run Customs inspections for contraband on some of the 'skull f*cking' type ' forces returning to Bragg from overseas in un marked aircraft- most often at like 2-3 in the morning, I was also the initial cameraman for the team investigating the Golden Knights crash disaster(all died) back in like 72, or 73- (sorry for the vague dating as I've done my best (unsuccessfully) over the years to wipe those images of the crash site/debris field from my mind :(
    I also had some success as a young Abn,/Naval Diving qualified LEO 'DC' ("Deep Cover") investigator: as a Ranger Trainee (homicide); as a Navy ship's Finance Officer(embezzlement); a Marine Private (homicide/fragging); and even as a principal 'song and dance'member of a noted USO show (drug trafficking .) There's a bit more, but my point is , though it might be different today, I would still caution against unilaterally dismissing the importance of MP's/SP's etc. - EVEN if only because they are armed at all times, and are Officially Sanctioned to dish out deadly force when circumstances permit which, at least in my time, happened quite a bit more often than you might suspect.
    PS. one other thing, I've used zip ties in a pinch before...AND, haven't you ever seen anyone break a pair of standard police hand cuffs? Stings a bit...but NOT all that difficult.

    In the books they talk about how MP's aren't liked and how when he was still in the army, it was hard to get information from other soldiers. So far, all the movies/series made are when Reacher left the Army, but there are some when he was still in the Army and they deal with this.
    Need to remember, this is some small rural town in GA, probably small budget, would a police station like that have XL cuffs or those zip ties?

    The TV show is loosely based off of the books written by British author Jim Grant under the pen name Lee Child. If you read any of the first few, it will give you the character Jack Reacher's military background. As ex-USAF military working dog handler (76-86), I worked with Army MP's as well as Army CID and Army Provost marshals while stationed in Europe. I can say I never came across a character quite like Jack Reacher. I did work with many troops that if you combined their traits, you could come up with someone like him. So being its hollywood and they really stretch realities for entertainment, I can understand how the character was invented. Compared to most of the crap that comes out of hollywood and how they portray our military, this show is better in the sense that it is entertaining and most of the cast are pretty good actors and actresses in the show. I joined the military because I was too young to be a civilian police officer and thought it would be a good way to serve my country at 17 year old and bide my time until I was old enough to pursue a career in the real world. After 30 years as a civilian cop in a large city and a small rural towns. I retired from LE, knowing I fulfilled my dreams working my way through the ranks. I do agree with you, that the movies with tom cruise were terrible and at least the this new TV show follows the books a bit more. Thank you both for your service in a very tough MOS to get into...but K-9 leads the way!!! lol

    I spent a year as an MP at Ft Campbell while the division was deployed. The only Soldiers on post were broken, or 18s from 5th group. Every traffic stop I made, mainly for speading seemed to be these 5G 18s. They almost always replied to my request for ID and driver license with "Hey Sarge we're with 5th Group". Being half civilian on my mother's side I generally let em go if they agreed to do better, but they had a severe entitlement attitude. Gotta love what they do though

    Yeah....The Reacher books are excellent, and while the Tom Cruise movies weren't horrible, it wasn't really Reacher. Jack Reacher from the books IS this guy. 6'5" 240lbs, and thanks to his back story, extremely physical and kinetic. He ran a CID group of special investigators who did high end/high speed stuff. He wasn't manning gates and writing tickets. The most recent book, which I just finished, is set back in Reacher's active duty days, and he's in Germany searching for tactical nukes that are being sold to terrorists. You should do some homework before posting. I realized 3 minutes you didn't get it. No offense, but watch a whole season before reacting to any episodes, and you'll have a much better perspective. This is a show with a ready-made audience of the 28 books in the series, plus several shorts and novellas.

    I loved Amazon’s Reacher compared to Cruises. The Amazon Reacher is just like the Reacher in Lee Child’s books. In the Books he’s 6’5 and 270 pounds, Tom Cruise is 5’6 or 5’7 and 170 pounds he’s a shrimp. And season one was from Child’s first Reacher Book “The killing floor” and season 2 in from Book 11.

    He's not a regualr MP, read the books they later make it clear he was CID agent. Still yeah it takes liberties, but the truth would make a shitty movie.......just allow it's Sherlock Army. Also I think this police dept is incredibly small, and makes use of a local county jail. I have seen that done. When the town is tiny, and a larger prison facility is nearby. I do want to know what MP unit/CID does sniper school, and a killer SCAR like martial arts system filled with eye gouges etc. LOL The story I tell myself to explain it is that we don't know WHAT his dad did in the military, maybe his dad was some crazy LRP veteran, who tought his kids. I love the jail fight scene here, right up there with The Raid (2011) Which if you haven't done, PLEASE DO IT. Fight scenes so good I have to just rewatch other people watching them.

The actual criminals (1 cop and the chief) needed a patsy when their victims got found. Still, so many parts of this show are off and cringey.

  • @Daddy53751

    I guess I’ll chime in.
    MP’s actually do all the things a regular beat cop does, for starters.
    They also have a combat (field) mission, and a PSD mission.
    There’s also a separate thing called Military Police Investigations, or MPI. (Name says it all)
    Not sure where these fellas got the idea that CID doesn’t do investigations. (Again, name says it all)
    Reacher had a little mistake (unless it’s changed) in that CID Agents don’t wear rank on their uniforms, they wear the U.S. insignia in its place.
    We don’t even need to get into the “DST Teams”.
    In the event the cuffs aren’t big enough, you could use leg irons I guess.
    Going to a state prison mainline without having been convicted and sentenced? Nah.
