dots/2

10 out of 10 men incarcerated. 10 new beginnings today.
today individuals convicted of any drug felony are not eligible for food stamps
no work + no food in a round about way = recidivism: working back on the streets in the underground economy
arrested because of the color of skin at that place and time
attempted arrest, at least, oh you're not... who we are looking for

calculations of non-white males in elementary and middle school add up to prison space estimates in 2020...

would you hire a man convicted of a felon?
would you hire a woman convicted of a felon?

working part time at mcdonalds for minimum wage after x amount of time making x amount of money in another trade
chemist, banker, broker
focused, role-oriented

the cars, the clothes, the comforts, the life from ladue to ...

i have to have hope for new beginnings and the hope feeling felt then
and that a lot of people work hard together to keep that hope alive
