He makes improvements to the prison itself by trying to repair roof and structure itself. He does not get much help from the board, but he does not give up. He believes that even though they are prisoners that they are still humans and should have rights.
While a lot of the people who are in prisons are people who have made poor choices, they are still American citizens and should have rights. I believe in today world they are treated better and there are laws that protect their rights. Although every American may not agree, that even those who make poor choices have rights and deserve to have those rights acknowledged. We as Americans need to realize that it is not up to us to judge people or to take rights away from anyone, including those in prisons. While a lot of Americans cannot understand why some people make the choices they do, we still need to understand that the Bill of Rights have given rights to every American, and if we do not respect those rights then we are no better than those who make the choices that put them in prison.
