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
This excerpt from section 3 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", contributes to the theme of fate because <em>It suggests that Farquhar is wrestling with forces larger than himself.</em> In the first section, Peyton Farquhar is on a railroad bridge twenty feet above the water. His wrists are tied on his back and in his neck, there is a noose. He is surrounded by soldiers of the Northern army. His execution is going to take place very soon. In section 2, the narrator introduces Farquhar using a flashback to tell us that he is a planter devoted to the Southern cause. In section 3, the narrator goes back to the present and Farquhar is falling from the bridge. He is feeling pain but everything looks strange for him, the stars above him, the language that he hears, and everything appear to have a malign significance.
