"I'm a criminal"
In the article "I'm a criminal" the article was mainly discussing how everyone at one point in there life has committed a crime whether big or small. I totally agree with the publisher Michelle Alexander. She says that she thinks that just because you have done a crime and ended up locked up it doesn't mean that they can take your equality away from you. I think that after the person has been incarcerated they most likely learned there lesson. But don't get me wrong , I don't think that if you were locked up for like rape or murder you shouldn't be allowed to take up jobs like a nurse or a daycare because I would not be able to trust anyone that has committed such crimes and have them around people that can't really stand up for themselves. But as I said before I don't think that government should just take there equality away from them. In the article the writer also says that she disagrees with the fact that the government is being unfair about not having incarcerated inmates not having the same equality as people that weren't incarcerated. I think that is totally discriminative because what if the person that was once in jail were not guilty and it was all a setup or what if the person that was once incarcerated was you,would you want the government to discriminate on you. Just something to think about when thinking about the issue.
