About this title

Synopsis

The second volume in capturing the shocking collection of quotes by prison inmates that reveals a sad truth about today's education among youth. - An inmate was on a lesson of the American Civil War. “If I had slaves they’d grow me marijuana, not cotton!” He was African-American.- “Canada isn’t part of the US! Since when?”- An inmate was telling another why he was afraid of boats. “You never know when you’re gonna hit an iceberg like in that movie.”- Another inmate, working on science, was sure he was a gas. “'Cause I got cuffed when I was high,” he said.- A young Hispanic inmate asked an older one when he left Mexico. The older inmate told him he was born in the US. “No way,” the younger one replied. “What are you, a fake Mexican?”
