Social Stratification in the Deep South

Parchman Prison

Today I have learned alot about prison that I did not know. The first shocking news of the day for me was that 85 percent of prisoners are in prison for drug charges. That was interesting news to me when I first heard that. I guess that news was suprising to me becuase when I think about prison I think about murders, robberys and drugs may come to my mind time to time but I always thought that majority of people in prison were there for murder charges. I never imagined the day that I would visit a prison and all the reasons that I hear why I wouldn’t want to go to prison but today the heat of the prison solidified why I don’t want to go to prison. I learned that most of the older inmates are the least trouble makers and they want to do the rest of there time and get out. Just from going to prison just to visit I have made up my mind to never go there anymore.
