Los Angeles Federal Prison
1,089 wordsAmerican Me is a harsh look at the "reality" of prison and gang life, especially within the Chicano community.

American Drug Laws Do They Help Or Hurt
722 wordsAmerican Drug Laws: Do They Help or Hurt? I believe the drug laws are in serious need of reform. We tend to forget that alcohol is a drug and that at one time it was prohibited without success. Also, I believe that a civil body of government rather than a criminal one should regulate drug use. It is a social problem, not a criminal one.
