Posters

I thought the food brought by the prison presentation group was a crucial symbol of how important this issue is in our country. It sure looked worse than hospital food which I have eaten a lot of when I was in the hospital for so long. I also noted how important it was that the group mentioned how expensive it was to house these prisoners.

I kept asking myself, isn't there better things that felons can make than license plates? The psychology that the architects have to use is the most fascinating to me because my friends Dad designed a prison and when I asked him if he would get blamed if someone escaped, he laughed.

I wish the team that did the addiction poster provided information that was new or cutting edge, because all I really came away from that was that addiction is part genetics and part surroundings. I knew that, I watched my brother go through an expensive treatment program nine years ago and he is still using to this day. I would have wanted to seen more about relapse because that is crucial.

It seemed like there were a few people in the class that had struggled with addiction maybe more than would want to share. I felt this presentation would have been a lot stronger if a member of the group shared a story about themselves or someone they knew and the road to recovery. That is really what this poster project and class are about, the way science and humanities shape our every day lives.
