HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT: The Prison-Industrial Complex
Since we have explored the meaning of the PIC, please locate and print out a short news article that either supports or refutes your assigned ‘zine page. Be prepared to report out what you have found in the article, especially any facts and figures. Feel free to use the web, but be careful which sources you trust: newspaper and news sites are your best bets. Ask your teachers (or librarians) for advice on search or keyword terms.
