some jail thoughts from Non.
poor people, while going to jail a lot more than the rest of us, also tend to call the cops a lot more than the rest of us AND over stuff that we wouldn't think to call the cops over. (he threw the remote, she wouldn't give me back my bill ray cyrus CD, etc)
here's how race seems to play a roll. my white clients by-in-large all seem to suffer from major issues...mental health, below average intelligence, serious substance abuse...or a combination of all three.
many of my black clients on the other hand do not suffer from those issues, yet still find themselves caught up in the crushing world of poverty and crime.
a mentally stable white person of normal intelligence will most likely never need my services. I have mentally stable black clients of normal intelligence quite frequently.
a war with Russia will fix all this.
