    Viewership would probably drop, and the product placement embedded in the show that funded the whole program would be difficult to do in jail.

      Jumping the shark and downsizing the operation is more realistic.

      The movie was before the realityshow boom, the least realistic part is everybody being hooked up in a such static show. They would have tried different things to keep the ratings, actually him being a molester would have given a hike to the ratings, maybe also offering him to join a gang in jail, or giving him missions to kill other people.

      Product placement is the least of my worries, give me any product I will shoehorn it in a jail environment.
