Letter to Editor from Benny R. Martin

July 19, 2018 by San Quentin News Contributor

The Antidote for Oakland

City leaders instead of more police of the streets, you need o get on education reform. Job creation, Economic Development and Restorative programs.

The Ghettos are entitled to better set of options and if so, whose responsibility is it to provide them?

Why is it so much violence in the streets? These youths don’t see any hope, don’t have faith in the Lord. They fell like lost souls.

These kids see their fathers getting locked-up, brothers die from gun violence, sister in prostitution, their young bodies, and their mothers struggling to put food on the table.

All these kids see is violence and struggling. So ask yourselves Oakland how do you think most of these kids are going to turn out?

If you know better, you do better. These kids don’t know better. To America, if you think locking us up is the key were going to be the land of the prisoners not the free.

Truly
