Prison Break

Undisputed From ESPN.com:

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Thai inmate Samson Sor Siriporn boosted her chances of freedom by beating Japan's Ayaka Miyano to win the vacant women's WBC light flyweight title at the notorious "Bangkok Hilton" prison on Tuesday.

An inmate drug dealer fought a championship bout that was staged in prison, and, by winning, has improved her chances of parole. For real. In other words, now that a felon has shown herself to be not only violent but skillfully violent, she is ready for reintroduction to society.

That ringing you just heard was the phone in FOX's reality TV programming office. Mark Burnett is in talks with the Mississippi Department of Parole to produce Fight For Freedom. (If my guess is wrong, then that idea is © Charles Star, 2007.)
