America: the land of the free and the home of the brave. The people of America like to see their country as the epitome of virtue, equality, and human decency. But if one was to take a deeper look into America’s culture, its government, the “system,” well they wouldn’t have to look very far to find cracks in its impeccable facade. Vincent Schraldi makes an admirable effort to peel back that front and reveal deep issues, namely “What Mass Incarceration Looks Like for Juveniles.” At first glance it’s easy to see that he attacks the problem head on with cold hard facts. Just as importantly, he pulls at the audience’s heart strings by forcing them to see life from the side of those in the system whose stories no one cares to listen to.
