Interview: Why the US Should Decriminalize Drug Use
Neal Scott may die in prison. A 49-year-old Black man from New Orleans, Neal had cycled in and out of prison for drug possession over a number of years. He said he was never offered treatment for his drug dependence; instead, the criminal justice system gave him time behind bars and felony convictions—most recently, five years for possessing a small amount of cocaine and a crack pipe. When Neal was arrested in May 2015, he was homeless and could not walk without pain, struggling with a rare autoimmune disease that required routine hospitalizations. Because he could not afford his $7,500 bond, Neal remained in jail for months, where he did not receive proper medication and his health declined drastically—one day he even passed out in the courtroom. Neal eventually pled guilty because he would face a minimum of 20 years in prison if he took his drug possession case to trial and lost. He told us that he cried the day he pled, because he knew he might not survive his sentence.[1
C. Since you're bringing the sandwiches. This is a fragment.
In the novel The Hate You Give, Starr Carter begins the novel as a more quiet girl at school who is just trying to blend in with all of her rich, white peers. She is balancing her two worlds. One where she is taught how to "properly" act at a traffic stop and one where everyone around her doesn't have to worry about the color of their skin. Throughout the novel she experiences many trials simply based on the color of her skin. This causes her to realize that she must fight to be seen as equal and stick up for herself and other people of color. The goes from a quiet, obedient girl to a strong girl who advocates for equality.
