Review of What I did for Drugs


Two incarcerated girls interview each other about their drug use and how it landed them in a Youth Development Center. It is a simple yet effective piece. Since the number one reason for women being incarcerated in the US is drugs, it is fascinating to get an inside perspective. These two girls give a very real and personal look into the traumatic effect drugs had on their lives. Though there are some technical errors, they seemed almost appropriate. Being locked up is a rough experience, and if this piece was clean cut, it might have lost some of its genuineness.
