So this Jewish white kid (well not a kid 32 at the time)

I don't mean to derail, as it sounds like you were the victim of an imperfect legal system, and that really does suck. I have to say, though, that language like this (combined w/ the line about unemployed harlem people) comes off a little racist. I know saying that you are white and jewish is just a fact, but the implication when you include it so explicitly is that it's more fair for black people to be going to jail.
Again, I realize it's pretty nitty, but I think you could consider (especially as someone who's been on the wrong side of injustice) what it sounds like you're saying when you write that.
To get it a bit back on topic, and related to my comment- what was your feeling on the legal/justice system before going to jail? Did you ever think about it? And what is it now?
