i found this amazing amazing blog today.
site's description:
Eddy Zheng is facing deportation for criminal convictions from 20 years ago. He served 19+ years of a 7-to-life sentence for a robbery he committed at 16. He is currently being held in Yuba County Jail in California. He is an avid writer, and he organized the first poetry slam at San Quentin State Prison. This is Eddy Zheng in his own words.

thoughts about the tragedy of our nation's prison industrial complex and criminalization of youth run rampant while i read about this. not to mention all the craziness with deportation that's been going down lately.
sometimes this kinda shit makes me want to cry.
but the stories this guy tells, while simple, are really moving. definitely worth a read.
