Regents Prep

Today I went to regent’s prep and I feel like it’s really helping me. Before i did any regents prep I use to go home and just read about something that had to do with U.S history. I realized that what my version of studying was not working for me after i went to regent’s prep. I realized that I needed to practice doing regents questions and documents. Right at this moment I know I have no choice but to pass this regents because it’s holding me back and putting weight on my shoulders. I regret messing up and now I have to make it up it’s a priority. I know all I do is talk but know I have to show myself that nothing can’t be done if I don’t do it and put my all into it. I'm going to do what i have to do and pass the regent's

In Ms. Horne's Class, in which she teaches economics. We are reading about Corrections and the percentage of ethnicity that are put in jail. The U.S achieved the highest rate of imprisonment in the world, at the cost of $55 billion a year. 1 in 4 black men are in prison, on parole or probation, 10% stripped there right to vote. 70% of prisoners are locked up for crimes that did not involve violence.There have also been unrepresented numbers of children that are locked up, many sentenced until there adult life. Native Americans have the highest percentage  of their population in prison, Latinos and women are the fastest growing populations in the prison system. There have been new prisons which are being forced upon rural communities to revive there economies. All of these statistics is giving the U.S the highest incarceration rate in the entire world.

CRR(Eonomics)

In economics class we are discussing the history of prison labor in the united states. After 1861-1865 civil war, a system was introduced in order to continue the slavery tradition. Free slaves were charged with not carrying out their sharecropping commitments or petty thievery, which were not proven, and then were hired out for cotton picking, working in mines and building railroads. about 88% of hired-out convicts were black, African American. in Alabama about 93% of hired out miners were also black, African American. During the pot-civil war period, Jim crow racial segregation laws were imposed on every state, with legal segregation in schools, housing, marriages and many other aspects of daily life.
