Reply #127: Sadly, we live in at least 2 Americans

The kids in the hood think of jail the way I thought of college. I didn't know where I would go, what I would study, how I would end up there, but I did know that college was in my future.

These kids in gangs see jail the same way I saw college. They don't know when they will go to jail, or why they will end up there, but they are all certain that it is just a matter of time before they do their stint.

In the inner city you cant let your kids outside. There are no jobs and dire crime and poverty. It is a very different world that I live in.
