    1. This is really early for a Graphic Tee no?

      (no offense) Also in Iowa? (just am a tiny bit surprised that that would be where it pops up.)

      Man, most of these kids look way older than 9. Not physically per se but like in their expressions and posture.

      We had Walnut Grove Youth Correctional Facility back home in Mississippi. Shut it down a few years ago because it got so out of control. 14 year old inmates getting guards pregnant, gang violence off the charts. It was wall known that the young men there didn’t like traditional shanks which are 4-6” inches long. They would take fan blades and cut metal beams to make swords. It was not a prison where you could “be smart, and stay out of trouble.”

    4. I love that one dapper boy in the middle of the photo wearing a nice shirt and tie, like he’s going to work in the office
