great contribution to anti-imperialist literature! split into three parts, easily digestible, and informative! no prior readings necessary to follow along. genuinely infuriating but eye opening and necessary.

Last Chance in Texas: The Redemption of Criminal Youth by John Hubner

5.0

highly emotional, complex and progressive analysis of a juvenile detention center in texas, filled with children who committed highly violent crimes. the detention center aims to truly rehabilitate them through an intense therapeutic and social experience. the stories of these children’s lives and the violence they then inflicted on others tug deeply at our most intimate feelings of empathy. violent criminals are commonly treated as aberrations of societies, not products of them. this book and this detention center serve as a means to understand “how,” children could ever do such violent things, and “what,” is to be done afterwards instead of giving up on them and sending them to serve life sentences in prison.
