I Don't Wish Nobody to Have A Life Like Mine:

Tales of Kids in Adult Lockup

 


David Chura taught high school in a New York county penitentiary for ten years.  Here are his powerful stories of the kids he got to know. Though these young people have remarkably slim chances for success in life, their personalities come through in these snapshots into lives full of neglelct, abuse, drugs, and violence. The result is a compassionate look at the effects on these young lives of radical social inequality and an antiquated, overcrowded, and paranoid correctional system.
