VIDEO: MacBeth on Lockup RAW (MSNBC)

[Ryan Goble]

Most of you are probably familiar with the incredible This American Life radio documentary about Hamlet in Prison (218: Act V) - also see this MC POP post.  Just last night, channel surfing I came across a clip on MSNBC's Lockup: Raw about an Indiana State University Professor who teaches MacBeth in a Maximum security prison.  Unfortunately, I can only find the transcript of the episode ("Lockup: Raw - Hard Time" MSNBC - Aired on Saturday, Jul 31, 2010 at 08:00 PM) and a bootleg video on YouTube.

Here's the bootleg clip:
