*** Probably for the same reason why Joe was getting male navigators in the first place, he keeps getting them killed, wasting good face talent would drop ratings.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Some people believe that she actually means it when she implies that she wants to give inspiration to the audience and move them, and simply views manipulating Jensen into participating as a means to a positive end. Hennessey intends it as a genuine gesture of goodwill, rather that using something "hard to come by" to her advantage as a hook for higher viewers and therefore higher profits.

** 2008 film: [[WardensAreEvil Claire Hennessey]] is introduced casually strolling through the yard unguarded to show how much even the worst inmates fear her. She rebuilt the Terminal Island prison to include a racetrack where the prisoners perform [[BloodSport Death Races]] with the promise of being released after winning five times, [[ImmoralRealityShow broadcasting the event]] to make a hefty profit. The racers and their female navigators die in the most brutal and graphic ways in the races, getting run over, blown up, or gutted by each other or Hennessey's armored trucks. She arranges to [[CondemnedContestant kill]] anyone close to winning five races, as she did with the original Frankenstein, a mask-wearing crowd favorite. She orders the innocent [[AntiHero Jensen Ames]]'s wife killed and frames him for it, then once he's in her prison blackmails him with his daughter's well-being to force him to take up Frankenstein's mantle.

* MagnificentBastard: [[BadassDriver Jensen Ames]] was [[FrameUp framed]] for the murder of his wife and wrongfully imprisoned and forced to take up the mantle of Death Race champion "Frankenstein". Learning that one of the racers is his wife's killer, Jensen pulls off a strategy that incapacitates and kills him. Learning that his wife's death was orchestrated by prison Warden Claire Hennessey and that she doesn't intend on letting anyone walk out of the prison alive, Jensen convinces Frankenstein's rival Machine Gun Joe to [[EnemyMine work with him]] so that they can both escape the island, and has his crew take out the bomb that Hennessey snuck into his car, which is then mailed to her and detonated.

** Hennessey does not seem to understand the rule of diminishing returns. If she had managed to kill Jensen and replaced him with a third Frank, then sooner or later, the viewing public is going to start falling out of love with a guy who keeps on losing.
