<b>A veteran teacher gives an “inside” view of the lives of juveniles sentenced as adults</b><br>  <br> David Chura taught high school in a New York county penitentiary for ten years—five days a week, seven hours a day. In <i>I Don't Wish Nobody to Have a Life Like Mine,<b> </b></i>he<b><i> </i></b>gives a face to a population regularly demonized and reduced to statistics<b><i> </i></b>by the mainstream media. Through language marked by both the grit of the street and the expansiveness of poetry, these stories break down the di­visions we so easily erect between us and them, the keepers and the kept—and call into question the increasing practice of sentencing juveniles as adults.
