Dear Journal,
I sit in these meetings day after day, listening to my peers tell their crime and life stories. I look around to see everyone with bus cut hair and the same pants as me. Not much differnt i suppose then the life i lived outside in "the free" because in my gangs everyone wore the same colors. I am different though. I have a lettermans jacket i recieved after almost making it to states with our football . I sit here and think how messed up i have become because of the lack of mother i had as a child, or maybve it was the abuse my aunt inflicted. when we do role play i am a person i would never want to imagine again, but it is to help a peer. So i suck it up and do it,. I begin to think about the pain i have infllicted through my years, murdering, beating, and tormenting those around me.. Sadly i have wound up here, but i am hopefull to get out soon because i am in the capitol offenders group and almost all of us get off our 25 to life sentance with just a few years,, I remain gaurded but i will have to show my feelings when it is my turn. I am nervous..
Sincerely,
Me
This paragraph is a great choice of how these kids actually feel and what they are going through when they go to their group meetings.
ReplyDeleteI think that this post pretty well sums up the life of a prisoner. They have very poor conditions and even less protection from abuse and rape. I think that it sends a good message to other kids about what crimes can do to there lives.
ReplyDeleteThis post is just like that movie we watched in class last week. How the prisoners sat around and talked about their crimes. Sadly more kids dont take their advance and the eventually end up sitting in jail wasting their lives
