Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Hei wāhanga o tētahi mahi akomanga, i tonoa ngā herehere i te whare herehere tawhito rawa o California ki te tuhi i a rātau ake kōrero - ā, he mea whakamiharo ngā hua i a rātau e whakamiharo ana. Ko te whakaaro o te kaiwhakaako mo te mahi nūpepa o UC Berkely, a William Drummond, e whakaako ana i tētahi akomanga tuhituhi nūpepa i te whare herehere o San Quentin State, i te raki o San Francisco. 'I mahia e au hei huarahi ki te rapu i te huarahi i whakataurite ai enei taangata i a raatau mahi kino,' i kii a Drummond ki te Los Angeles Times. 'I taea e rātau te titiro tika ki te mea i uru ai rātau ki roto i te raruraru?' Te tuhi i tana mutunga: Ko te kohuru kohuru a Phoeun You e noho ana ki te taiepa i te marae whakangungu i San Quentin State Prison i California. Ko ia tētahi o ngā mauhere maha i tuhi i tōna ake whakapapa mō tētahi kaupapa akomanga. Te ripeneta: I tuhia e koe i roto i tana tuhinga mate, i muri i tana patu i tetahi, ka hiahia ia ki te whakaora i tetahi i mua i tona matenga. I tae mai a Phoeun You ki Amerika i a ia e rima tau te pakeke. I a ia e taiohi ana, ka uru ia ki te hunga kino, ka whakapae i nga rereketanga ahurea, a, ka uru wawe ia ki tetahi roopu o Ahia. I a ia e 20, ka whawhai koe ki waho o te kura tuarua me tētahi mema o tētahi kapa Latino. I a koe e wiri ana i te whawhai, ka haere koe ki te tiki patu, ka anga ki te rapu i ona hoa whawhai i te whawhai. Ki te kore, ka whakatuwheratia e ia te pu ki tētahi tangata i runga i te huarahi. 'He tangata noa iho ia, he rite ki te mema o te kapa,' i kī atu koe ki The Times. 'I tata tonu ia.' I patua e ia te tamaiti 17 tau te pakeke, ā, i werohia hoki e te pupuhi ētahi atu i te huarahi. I whakawakia koe mō te kohuru me te ngana ki te kohuru i te tau 1996 ā, ka noho i te toenga o tōna oranga ki muri i te whare herehere. I ki atu a Tohunga Drummond ki ngā mauhere ka taea e rātau te hanga i ngā mea katoa e hiahia ana rātau mō tō rātau pukapuka whakamārama, ā, ka hoatu ki a rātau he mana auaha. Ko te mea nui rawa, me whakaaro rātou ki te āhua e mate ai rātau. I tuhia e koe he kōrero mō tētahi riri i puta i San Quentin me te āhua o tana whakaora i te oranga o tētahi kaiako mā te tū ki mua i tētahi maripi. I werohia ia kia mate e tētahi atu herehere. I mea koe, i te mea kua patua e koe tētahi tangata, e hiahia ana koe ki te whakaora i tētahi tangata i tētahi rā. 'Ko taku herehere, ko te take kei konei ahau, ko...
Kei te whakaako a William Drummond i tētahi akomanga tuhituhi i te whare herehere o San Quentin. I tonoa e ia nga herehere ki te tuhi i a rātau pukapuka whakamārama kia kite ai mēnā kua ripeneta rātau. I tino pāngia te akomanga e ngā mauhere.
