Drugs at a young age
In this article i have read for homework it talks about how there are many kids doing drugs these days no matter what race they are. They are also saying that a majoirty of them are of the ages or 16,17 or 18 and are treat upon request on where they are placed in the jail system. 17 year old are placed in juvie but can be moved to a adult prison upon their 17th birthday and 18 year olds are automatically transfered on their 18th birthday no matter what because they are of age. They have also witnessed kids at the age of 15 selling narcotics and that means that their driving privilages when they get older are reasoned with. So the way that they have been cracking down and tacking care of this situation has impacts the different ways they are taking care of the situtations.

JAIL......dun dun dun....eh it wasnt that bad
So my post this week is about our class field trip to jail and the court house. From the moment I had got the sheet of paper saying that we had a field trip and that it was going to be to the dupage county jail in the weirdest way i was a happy man but kinda scared at the same time cause i mean comon jail is not a place to be all hyped up about because you are going there. But anyways i had thought thatit was going to be the coolest thing in the world with the little bit of scared down in the pit of my stomach. So as we were on our way to jail i was thinking on the bus what is going to be the reactions of the inmate and they going to talk dirty to us and make us feel real scared or were they just going to stand there and looks at us, well as that time came upon us it seems that it was a little bit of both. But as the trip went on it had seemed like i had been everywhere in the jail and court houses which was the funnest part cause you got to walk into real court cases and visualize and see what they were like and how the people of the court do their jobs.
But over all i would have to say that going to jail was not only educational but also showed you that once you have been there because you wanted to be there is one thing but to be there because you did something that got you there is a whole nother way of thinking about it. So with the information that i had learned and visialized being in the court system but also going into the jail system was something that i will alway remember and that i had alot of fun with .
