"I'm Going to Die Here"
Lamekia Dockery screamed in agonizing pain through tears streaming down her face. Fellow prisoners tried to help her, but officers, the men and women in uniform who are paid to protect inmates, ignored her pitiful cries and desperate pleas to go to a hospital. Frustrated with her repeated requests, the guards placed Lamekia into solitary confinement, where she died from a sepsis infection caused by an untreated perforated ulcer six days after first asking for medical attention. The mother of five was 36 years old.

Finding Andrea
Do you have siblings? There is a good chance you do. In fact, I have two younger brothers living in Indiana. Although I don't see them frequently, I love them both just the same. On Facebook I saw a meme that described siblings perfectly. The meme mentioned how siblings will argue over everything during childhood. However, as adults, they realize their siblings aren't so terrible.

Depravation as Justification
It is still very common to read or hear arguments attempting to justify criminal behavior by appealing to poverty on the part of the criminals. These often takes the form of statements like "they were just trying to feed their family" or "they had no other choice", etc. While I have some sympathy for this view, and in some cases it may even be accurate, it is a very poor justification for criminal behavior and a major turn off to readers/listeners, especially if they are Americans. The reason is quite simple, Many of these readers and listeners are very poor themselves and/or they have friends or relatives that are. They do not commit crimes and neither do their poor friends and family, so why is author/media person X saying that the reason these people are criminals is because they are poor. The argument is so weak, and so offensive to many, that it virtually guarantees a loss of 90% plus of your audience, including many of whom probably agree with everything else you are trying to say.
