The article "I'm A Criminal", is a very interesting and opinionated article that really makes you think. When I read the article I thought that the author had a very good point, when she said that just because you don't get caught doing a crime doesn't mean your not a criminal. I believe that also, I think that people often believe that if they were not placed in jail their not a criminal which is not the case. The definition of criminal is a person who has committed a crime, which means everyone who commits a crime is a criminal, not just a person who is placed in jail.
The author also made another point in the article saying that she thinks that prisoners are treated as second class citizens, and she does not agree with it. The article states that once people are labeled as felons they are ushered into a parallel social universe, they can be denied the write to vote, automatically excluded from juries and legally discriminated against in when it comes to getting jobs. Alexander also states that this is a form of discrimination, which was supposedly.
I agree with Alexander for the most part, when she talks about what a criminal actually is. I think that more people should read this article because the reality of it is so many people judge 'criminals' when they are criminals their selves.
