"Soledad brother story is very interesting,unfair,and also very sad. But soledad i think has his part of fault in his story who turn very wrong .Because young has he was soledad was already went to jail one time and escape for jail by taking someone else identity.But this time going to jail for a small offense soledad plead guilty for stilling and have to spend 1 year in prison . A year because years and soledad have to spend 10 years of his life in prison just for stilling.Soledad became a leader in prison talked about politic racism and all of the that.And finally he got kill by a white police officer saying that he tried to escape .And the same story from 9 years earlier track him and went you read his story is like he got kill for the same offense he did before he escape from prison at someone else place and now he got kill for the same thing. It's sad because i don't think he should pass all of those years in prison for a small crime that was unfair .And that make me think differently like everythings we can do wrong will come back and that what happen to soledad . we need be careful about what we doing or what we say with who you hangout with because a situation can turn around and you will be in a terrible situation that you don't mean or think you should be one day."
