Sometimes the victim of a crime ends up being the one sent to jail. That's especially true when dealing with gangs, drugs & the "honor codes" of the street. Likewise, inmates have their own "laws of the jungle". This video captures the way "justice" is handled by the law, street gangs & inmates themselves. Michael, the person who tells this story has stayed off drugs for years with methadone & has recently successfully quit methadone (with huge difficulty). He is in love with a woman whom he dreams of marrying and having a family with. She has motivated him to build a better life for the two of them together. Life is not easy for some people. Hopefully, we are learn from our mistakes & ultimately manage to overcome them.
