Whew, I hardly know where to begin, but I think I’ll begin by focusing on the precariousness of Ms. Burton’s life. Her living situation changed radically. She was abused multiple times, and gang-raped once. Caroline has written about the inadequacy of reentry treatment. I am wondering: What do you think was the crucial variable in causing Susan Burton to get on that merry-go-round of incarceration? Did it begin with drug use? Was it the abuse? Was it her mother’s treatment of her? Was it that her life taught her that as soon as you start to rise, something causes you to fall? Why can’t we treat Black children for trauma? I wanted you to hear her voice and see her, so I attached the Trevor Noah interview below.<\/p>\n
