Madea Goes to Jail
Madea Goes to Jail is a 2009 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Tyler Perry, which was based on his 2005 play, and starring Perry, Derek Luke, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Ion Overman, RonReaco Lee, Sofía Vergara, Vanessa Ferlito, and Viola Davis.
The film tells the story of Madea going to prison for her uncontrollable anger management problems as she befriends a young incarcerated prostitute whom an assistant district attorney has known since college.
The film had its premiere in Atlanta, Georgia on February 16, 2009, and was theatrically released on February 20, 2009. Madea Goes to Jail received negative reviews from critics and grossed $90.5 million worldwide.
A freeway police chase results in Madea being pulled over and arrested. Assistant district attorney Joshua Hardaway is set to prosecute prostitute and drug addict Candace "Candy" Washington-Collins. Josh, who already knows Candace, asks his fiancée and fellow ADA Linda Davis to fill in on his behalf. Afterwards, Brian Simmons and Davis secure Madea's release when it is revealed that the officers failed to read her Miranda warning. Unable to put Madea away, Judge Ephriam places her in an anger management course.
Josh then posts Candace's bond, and they eat at a diner. Josh keeps helping Candace to the point of rescuing her from pimp Arthur, who harassed her and her prostitute friend Donna. Josh brings Candace to his apartment, further angering Linda, who threatens to leave him unless he cuts Candace out of his life. Madea's anger management course overseen by Phil McGraw does not go well.
Josh runs into his friend Ellen, a former drug addict and prostitute who has become a minister and helps other women get off the streets. Josh convinces Ellen to help Candace get a job interview. However, Mr. Brackman sexually harasses Candace who attacks him and Ellen states that he set her back. After confronting a woman who stole her parking spot at Kmart, Madea wrecks the woman's car with a forklift truck. Later that night, Madea gets arrested.
At the DA's office, Josh's best friend Chuck discovers that Linda is falsifying Candace's file to get her sent to prison, a practice she has engaged with other defendants too, including Madea. Linda blackmails him to keep his mouth shut, threatening to expose the fact that Chuck cheated on the bar exam to get his law license.
Josh later reveals to Ellen that he and Candace were close friends from childhood, but during their college years, all of Josh's friends bullied Candace because of her background. Out of embarrassment, he started pushing her away. One night, Josh took Candace to a party, where his friends gang-raped her after he left to go on a date. Since then, Josh has harbored guilt for failing to protect her. Ellen says that he should not continue holding on to the guilt.
