  • We take you back to the South Side -- this time to the county jail, where 1,000 inmates await trail for murder. It's a conversation with men accused of extraordinarily terrible things. If guilty...why do they kill? And can there be redemption?

    To a degree is disturbing how self-aware they are and how they had to allow themselves to become so desensitized to their environment on order to survive. Brutally honest, but for many of them they don't have the answer on what to do but they know what's the problem.

    Like the man says, all boys need a father that wants us to succeed in life.
    It's amazing how much difference having the care and discipline of a proper dad will have on a child's life.
    So to all of the young gangstas who think that having a child who you can't support, is a sign of your manhood and is something to be proud of,, and to all of the young women who think that they will be able to bring up a family without the support of the father, get a grip on your selves.
    Otherwise you are just adding to the number of lost boys, and dead or imprisoned niggas with no future or who have no direction in their lives.

    "Lack of education". Is it not mandatory for all kids to be enrolled in a school? You cannot legally drop out until you are in high school. Something tells me these individuals, who say they are disenfranchised, actually pissed away the opportunity when they were in school. Now they are complaining that teacher's didn't MAKE them care when they had the chance.

    • @GregTVGaming

      If you knew anything about most inner city schools you would know that even if they did go to school AND participated they would still have a lack of education because they aren’t really being taught anything expect how to pass standardized tests so the government will fund the school. Cookie cutter education. If you put the curriculum of those schools side by side with the schools in the rich areas it like night and day!

The first question ask why so many of them are in there, and the guy answered, Jobs. The only solution to our inner-city poverty is to find some kind of living wage jobs that will work in that environment.

    Good parent-figures in the life to steer kids is absolutely critical. You'll always have a fraction of kids that steer wrong regardless. However, many of these kids grow up with negative influence that confuse their souls at a very vulnerable time in their lives. For all the negative comments below, none of you are analytical and appreciate what you have. White kids may not have fathers but their environment is more drugs in their neighborhood. Instead of gangs being around them, they go a different direction. These kids grow up in a different neighborhood and with different influences.

    First the European settlers aka white settlers in America are officially "Americans". They are officially something different from us white folk still here in Europe and from the settlers in Australia. They are "Americans". This show's name is "Americans ... " It's about America or Australia. That's interesting. I'm interested in my people living on those better landmasses.
    Then, secondly, suddenly non-whites are Americans too. People who don't live in America because their ancestors emigrated from here to America are recognised as Americans, too. All the while I don't have access to America and to Australia. For more than 6 decades they've made emigration for Europeans hard. No real chances anymore, only mock opportunities.
    Now I see many of those non-whites are in jail. I hear some people say, it's because they're more criminal. It's in their blood to be more criminal, they say.
    Fine if they live in my country while I'm locked out of that part of my country, they don't need to run around free. It shall be a delight to me to see they're not free.
