Rest in Peace, Chris!
Dear Chris,
I may not have known you for long, and I may not have known you that well, but it was nice meeting you when I did; you was a really nice guy!
You are now in heaven, looking down at your mom, dad, friends, and most importantly... your baby girl. May God give strength to your family and friends. My family, my boyfriend, and my condolences are with you all!

This is not a "good-bye," but a "see you later!"
Sincerely,
Sincerely,

My Field Trip Experience: Inside Charlotte Correctional Institution
Hey guys!
I wanted to share to you all about my experience going to Charlotte Correctional Institution, a minimum security prison. For those who have never been to a prison (as an inmate or visitor), I suggest watching Lockup: Raw and Lockdown; everything you see in those episodes is exactly what I saw, but without the fighting! There were no fights during my time there.
The places that we were being shown were (not in specific order):

Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story
You may know him as the infamous gangster who co-founded the Crips (street) gang. He was tried and convicted on four counts of first-degree murder and two counts of robbery. As a result, he was sentenced to death and sent to San Quentin State Prison's death row. After two years in solitary confinement for multiple assaults on guards and fellow inmates, he started to examine his life choices, and repented for his past actions. Before his execution in 2005, he began to speak out against gang violence, and published books mostly aimed at kids with the intentions to warn them away from following his life of crime. This is the story of Stanley "Tookie" Williams.
