    Overall I found this book very interesting. It covered a vast majority of topics and was very eye-opening on a lot of issues. Most of these issues happened in the past, but they clearly have affected education throughout the years and will affect education in the future. Many topics are controversial and it is very important to be educated on these so that as educators we can deal with them as they arise. This book did a wonderful job with addressing a lot of those issues, and made myself question if the world could ever go back to the segregated ways it once was.…

I feel that shackling an incarcerated mother to a hospital bed, when in labor, is cruel and unnecessary. Doing so has the potential to increase the risk of a child and/or mother to experience problems during birth. After hearing Tina Torrez’s experience when giving birth to her daughter as an inmate, it was clear the care inmate mothers receive is unacceptable when compared to the care mothers who are not labeled as inmates receive. Hearing her experience bothered me because of the fact that even though she was pregnant and giving birth, she was still treated as if she were not a human with physical and emotional feelings.…
