There definitely is a choice that has to be made, and while we may not know what we would choose, because you really can't know what it is like to be in prison until you are there, we can hope that we would choose not to treat other poeple with disdain or dehumanize them. Possibly we could bring some good into their lives. You go girl! Love, Mom Good for you for commenting on personal responsibility!
