Hey Young World: Community Violence Crime Prison Reform

By Jonathan Self Woodard

"Hey Young World!" is a story about a young man's experience of growing up in poverty and struggle, the various influences that led him to venture into the street life of dealing drugs, and the various pivotal points of transformation he reached that brought meaning to his life and ultimately changed the course of his life to a positive direction. "Hey Young World!" portrays an insightful story of inspiration, hope, and triumph involving issues of the collective psyche of celebrated ignorance that shapes the living structures of the Black community and produces waves of ferocious crimes and increasingly high rates of incarceration. It explores the correlation between these living structures and the social order ingrained in the disintegration of Black youth and the destabilization of the Black community while illustrating various refined standards of living.
