i went to visit a friend in jail last night. jail was surprisingly like it is on tv (the visiting part at least). we had to wait around for an hour before we could get in, so of course i spent that time watching the other people in the waiting room. there were so many kids there. it amazed me. i wondered what it would be like to be 5 or 7 or

My brother was in and out of jail for years and I used to go visit him all the time. Once I took my Grandmother who was about 75 at the time and it was the middle of summer and we had to ride on this rickety bus with no a/c for about 1/2 to the prison from the parking lot. We were the only white people in about 200 others. It was quite a day!

i'm taking "the criminal mind" as a class in school this semester, and it was weird b/c we talked about female offenders today and i learned that in the u.s. there are approximately 1/4 million kids whose moms are in jail. then we talked about the summer camps and stuff like i'm trying to do this summer. i just found it interesting that we talked about that today since i was thinking about this last night...and it made me a little more reassured about my choice (or application at least) for the summer. *don't want to jinx myself* hehe

That sounds like an interesting class! I've worked with kids both afterschool and summer camp and it is definatley a wonderful experience.
