"When you go to a hospital you’re so glad to be out. The people there are trapped. Their bodies are where they don’t want them to be. They are incarcerated in an environment where they don’t want to be. From the hospital I got the idea of the personal jail and then I got the idea of the society that says “OK, we’ve got news for you. We’re going to take your nice, fresh body and give it to someone else more deserving and then we’re going to trade souls and you’re going to wind up with that fellow’s soul. This way we don’t need executions.” And it had a kind of wonderful justice about it. What worse punishment could there be than being jailed in someone else’s sick body and they, in turn, if they’re worthy, having a different body. No execution. No electric chairs. No switches pulled. I think it’s a fascinating idea." • Ray Bradbury discussing their 1961 Alcoa Premiere teleplay entitled The Jail • Conversations With Ray Bradbury • www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwTqiLmQ9Q p.s. someone please add it to TMDB. www.imdb.com/title/tt0507748/
