What does Mason Abraham do in Netflix's Unlocked? Details explored
Netflix's Unlocked: A Jail Experiment introduced Mason Abraham as part of an organization called Young Vice Lord. In the show, he claimed to enjoy chaos and called himself "crazy." He has been depicted as being protective of his family, which includes his mother and daughter.
Although he knew that he would either be given the death penalty or life in prison if found guilty at his trial, Abraham hoped to be reunited with his daughter. He was one of the inmates who were appreciative of Higgins' experiment and enjoyed his newfound freedom.
However, he disagreed with older prisoners who wanted to control the crowd and impose their own rules and regulations. He often found himself in conflict with others such as Randy "True Story" Randall due to their differing opinions. While Abraham believed that everyone should be free to do as they pleased, he gradually realized that some sort of organization was needed to limit people who often took things to the extreme.
Towards the end of the show, he also spoke about how he appreciated the older inmates and their attempts at making sure that their newfound freedom was not jeopardized.
All episodes of Unlocked: A Jail Experiment are currently available to stream on Netflix.
