Another Day In The Life

Its like this...
Today a study came out that 1 in 100 american adults is in prison, one in 15 black adults is in prison.
Another study I heard about is that children in rented housing do worse in school than children in housing owned by their parents.
Most blacks live in rented housing.
They need to do a study about how many adults who lived in rented housing ended up in prison.
They also need to enforce existing housing laws in a way that causes greater compliance and better standard of living for people who have to rent.
Most lives of crime begin with an eviction, usually of the childs family and the child then misses opportunities to feel included in the opportunities of life. All the hardship they go through due to the eviction, which is often full of legal irregulatries or racial motivations, are discounted and not mitigated and educational opportunties lost at the time of the housing hardship turn into a record that excludes them even when the family gets settled again.
Most people who have been though any portion of the stuff I have been through are in prison. Their stories are infact true. And had they benifited from law enforcement at those times, they would not be costing the tax payers $24,000 a year to keep up.
Im costing you less than $6,000 a year right now BTW (not counting the educational loan in default that I took out while trying to get educated while having persistant housing difficulties which I could have payed off my first year of employment had I been properly educated at any point).
