Corrections. But i did believe that those Early Experiences helped shape and mold that desire in me. And i can say that i never learned that i was an at risk youth until i sat in my First College course in psychology and hearing the definition of at, i thought, i my reality was normal for me. And my mother thankfully helped shape and mold our family unit so even though my father was in prison we had sunday dinners a the prison. Prison was much different then. This was in the 1980s. And every saturday i remember her cooking our sunday dinner and we would take it in a picnic basket to the prison. That was my truth. And by not running from that truth, i was able to grow into the woman that i am now. I obtained my doctorate in psychology and decided that i wanted to help other people that may not have had that supportive network, to help them to rebuild life and see life beyond that part of themselves. How have you tried to change the system so that an inmate coming to cook county now has
After her sixth prison sentence in los angeles, she was fortunate in that she was given access to Treatment Services in santa monica. It made her realize if i have access to this service in santa monica, why cant we have it in south l. A. And southcentral l. A. . Now she runs a new way of life.

We have the military front, which is nicely orchestrated. We have clarity of hierarchy. Everything is clear. How the orders go. But when we come to the issues of the civilian front, which is much more complex, much more complex, nobody knows what who is responsible for what . We dont have this whole issue of accountability, authority and responsibility. Israel is excuse me for using french, primitive. Its primitive. And we cannot come and bring ourselves to structure it in accordance with my logics, politics is a major obstacle, major obstacle in this respect. I dont want to end with grim prospect.
