I have never been arrested,
never spent a night in jail,
never had a loved one thrown into the back of a squad car
or behind bars,
or be at the mercy of a scary, confusing system
that at best sees them with indifference,
and at worst as a monstrous.
United States of America locks up more people than any other nation
on the planet.
And Louisiana is our biggest incarcerator.
Most of you are probably like me --
lucky.
The closest we get to crime and punishment is likely what we see on TV.
