Sorry I am out today. The lake effect snow in Chicago was pretty gnarly this AM. I had to drive Luella to grandma's house and the traffic at 5 am was already over an hour which meant the roads were atrocious. For her safety I didn't want to risk the chaos that is Chicago streets in a windy snow storm. I hope we are all doing most excellent though!
After viewing and reflecting on the 30 Days in Jail episode and the problem of recidivism, I want you to watch a couple video, albeit humor ones, on the sad state of the justice system. One that needs to be fixed to truly help make America safer and more just.
1) Go to the website at the end of the instructions after you read all the instructions.
2) Each person at your table should watch one of the following videos but do not watch the same video as you will be discussing with them the issue that your video dealt with.
One person at your table should watch the video on: Mandatory Minimums.
One person should watch: Public Defenders
One person should watch: Prison Reentry
One person should watch: Bonus Segment on Prisons
3) After watching your video discuss the issues of the video with your table.

Warning: There may be some swearing in the video, the video is also uses comedy to look at a difficult and problematic issues, although things he say may be funny the sad reality though is disturbing and problematic.
