Dear Farnaz:

I took a couple of hours reading about the show, aired in 2013. The crimes I read about are difficult to think about, or to imagine. It is clear to me that if society (school, social services… someone) intervened in the early lives of the convicted murderers I read about, their crimes would have been prevented: people murdered would have been alive today, and they themselves would be free to live outside a tiny prison cell where they live 20-23 hours per day, and where they are expected to live the rest of their lives.
