In ch.4 I like the idea of them mentioning the unrealistic goals that are placed on these young men to set them up for failure. The idea of punishing these young men but not providing resources does nothing to help them not "recommit" the crime. It also places a high alert for them being arrested for anything and everything without the chance of change. #so345
My question leading with this is how does society reconstructs what has been constructed to ensure success. We isolate, criminalize, and more specifically, these young men in this book, but we expect change from them when there hasn't even been a chance to change or to escape a label that is already placed on them before a criminal act. #so345
