This was a challenging read for me. Betts was 16 years old when he was tried as an adult and sent to prison. His poetry focuses on prison reform, life after prison, and unfair bail practices. I thought his redacted poems (pictured above) were really well done. The challenging part for me was when I read that his crime was a carjacking at the mall where I take my kids. Such an important book that gave me so much to think about.
