SUMMARY:
Last
March 10th of 2016, in Spartanburg County (South Carolina), suffered
from one of the worst health rates a couple of years ago, but after a
collaboration, in which the writer participates, with nonprofits and other
foundations, there was a big change in the health rates of Spartanburg.
Then
the writer explains that she has the opportunity to visit the Spartanburg
Detention Center and experience something that can only be described as
life-changing.
Finally she explains her experience and what she learned and what she’ll never forget:
Ø Being in jail doesn’t necessarily mean you’re guilty. She learned the difference between being arrested and being convicted. The writer found in the jail a lot of people that are put in jail are people who were arrested and are awaiting their court date so maybe they aren’t convicted felons. She also discovered that some of the people are in jail because they don’t have enough money to bail themselves out. And the rich people who committed a crime roaming freely around the county because they have a lot of money to bail themselves out.
Ø You eat where you sh*t. The writer can saw the rooms of the jail and she can also saw the awful conditions in which they lived. She realized that there was absolutely no room for activities that involved any kind of physical movement
Ø You can’t judge circumstances you’ve never experienced. The writer learned something that I think that is one of the most important lesson of her life: It’s wrong to judge someone before hearing his or her story. I think that all of us have to learn this lesson.
Ø It could be anyone. In this point explains that we have to think about our
decisions because one bad decision can put us in jail.
Finally the writer say that she don’t trying to minimize the actions of some of these inmates because some of them have done a lot of bad things, and they know that. She is trying to show our communities that just because someone is in jail or has been to jail, that doesn’t mean he or she is necessarily a bad person. And she also remember us that we cannot judge a book by its cover.
MY OPINION:
In my opinion I completely agree with the writer, Mercedes Leguizano, because we know that a lot of inmates are in a jail because they done bad things but we have to remember that so inmates are in the jail because they have to be drug trafficking considering that they don’t have money to keep on his family or they don’t have money to survive.
I also saw a programme that show us the
conditions of some jails in the world and I think that for the bad people that
they done terrible things It’s fair but for people that they didn’t do so
terrible things and his acts are justify by a rational argument I think that we
have to help them.Finally I want to comment another aspect.
The most of the citizen judge people when they don’t know his history. I think
that we have to change the mentality in that regard because we don’t like to judge us and maybe we can meet
someone fantastic and we don’t talk to him for his appearance or another stupid
thing.
Ø It’s never too late. The Spartanburg County Detention Center has many programs that are used to encourage the inmates’ mental health.
