I liked this episode, I didn't like how two characters were gotten rid of in the span of two episodes, I liked Toby's moment at the end, he plays everything as he's the bigger person to micheal, and he is. I loved how he set micheal straight in the end. He's the perfect straight man in the show.

Pure gold!

The entire episode was great and prison mike was the funniest bit i've seen in a while
Something about that ending is just so pleasing with that song (witch btw Andy is so annoying but he nailed that song) and with Pam looking at Jim, there are a couple of episodes in the show that ends in a super satisfying way and this is definitely one of them.

The only scene which was good was when he pretended to be a former prisoner, everything else was somewhere ok. I'm not saying this episode was bad or something, but considered that this season is one of the strongest so far it wasn't as good as other episodes.
Top Tier comedy level at its finest

How on God's green earth is this episode 8.3/10 is beyond logic, the whole episode start to finish is just absolutely mesmerizing and Michael specifically 👌🏻 he seriously nailed it to the coffin.. and to think he never won an emmy for his role, that's a damn shame.
The Convict (#3.9)
ComedyFan201030 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The office finds out that there is an ex convict with them. And then Michael tries to show them that prison is worse than their job.
Again an over the top funny episode. Michael trying to show how non racist he is. He reminds me of SJWs these days. Obsessed with race, pathetically needy to be seen as the good guy. But I still love him.
A little moment would make this episode "problematic", the character that is portrayed as a bitter b*tch dressed her boy in pink.
Best part was Michael dressed up as prison Mike and their whole talk about it. And Michael then locking them up in conference room. Toby was smart and sweet again to change Michael's mind.
And there is a sweet interaction between Jim and Pam as he plays a prank on her. He doesn't even let Karen into it.

PC Culture Ruined comedy

Some of the lines on this episode would never ever go live due to the pathetic PC Culture in our culture today where people are hurt by words.
Michael tells the camera "I just wish Josh had made a more progressive choice like a white guy..."
I miss those old times back in 2000s where people would laugh at the expense of everything. This episode is great in showing how fun the world was where we would laugh at simple stuff that we could carry on and just live with it.
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchants (uk office) original US office episode
carloss_ed2 March 2021
I was rewatching this to see If it hand Ricky's usual writers hand, but it was actually a great episode that fits in well with the other episodes in the series.
It's a shame it was the first and the last, except the first episode, which was based on the original UK office series.

Ex-Prisoner
vivianla28 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
A baby is bounced by its mother. Michael oohs at the baby and then acts childish himself. Michael says milk is needed and it comes from breasts.
Jim is dating the pretty girl from Stamford.
A phone call is received from Jan who informs that an ex-convict is working which is why Angela from accounting received that money from the government. The group looks around wondering who from Stamford is an ex-prisoner.
It turns out to be Martin and Michael informs Dwight. Dwight hilariously has bills peeking from his back pocket and he stands close to Martin.
After a long day we see Martin has his things in a box and carries it to the elevator. Michael explains Martin quit and he is glad. Michael is slowly getting each former Stamford employee to quit.
