In the next few chapters of Going Up the River, Hallinan talks about family visitation programs, profits made by the prisons, and the ongoing competition between huge corporations in the prison marketplace. The first story that struck me was that of Grady Mitchell, an inmate serving life without parole at Washington State Reformatory. Hallinan speaks to Grady about his visitations with his family at the prison. Grady gets to spend two weekends a month with his wife and children and tells of how little things like helping his son make flash cards for a school report are the things that mean the most to him.

Fire fighters fight to save not only people, but things that are important to people such as homes, pets, and valuable belongings.

Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, I didn’t know that we were poor. My mother had five sisters and five brothers and most of them had children, so I was around family all of the time, having ten people living in a three bedroom home, and with all the dogs and cats my grandmother used to own never really seemed abnormal. I overheard my mother carol and father Robert talking about how people from the islands migrate to America in order to seek better opportunities.

At first my father was against this, he kept saying ‘’I have a good paying job here, I don’t want to come over’’ but my mother’s
