0:00.0	This is Jocco podcast number 56 with Echo Charles and me Jocco Willink. Good evening echo. Good evening.
0:14.4	Silent screams and broken dreams. Addicts junkies, pushers and fiends.
0:22.5	Crouted spaces and sad faces never look back as the police chase us. Consumed slowly by chaos,
0:33.6	a victim of the streets. Hungry for knowledge, but afraid to eat. A life of destruction, it seems no one
0:43.5	cares a man child alone with burdens to bear. Trapped in a life of crime and hate, it seems the ghetto
0:54.2	will be my fate. If I had just one wish it would surely be that God would send angels to set me free.
1:05.5	Free from the madness of a city running wild. Free from the life of a ghetto child.
1:16.5	And that is a poem written by a young Deandre McCullough, a criminal drug dealer who when he wrote
1:34.0	that poem was doing time after being one of the main subjects in a book called The Corner,
1:44.5	which is written by David Simon and Edward Burns which documents the violent drug trade in Baltimore,
1:52.1	Maryland. And that sort of morphed into an HBO series that was called The Corner as well,
2:00.7	which paved the way for another series, which is called The Wire, which is just an outstanding
2:08.0	mini series that came out on HBO. But The Wire is fictional even though it's based on
2:15.1	kind of the same situation in Baltimore, but The Corner is real. The book The Corner is real and it
2:20.9	gives a very clear and a very grim view at the life of drugs and crime in the inner city,
2:32.0	namely in Baltimore. And I'm going to go back to the book now.
2:40.4	We can't stop it. Not with all the lawyers, guns, and money in this world.
2:46.4	Not with guilt or morality or righteous indignation. Not with crimes summits or task forces or committees.
2:55.2	Not with policy decisions made in places that can't be seen from the lost corner of Fayette and
3:00.6	Monroe. No lasting victory in the war on drugs can be bought by doubling the number of
3:06.5	beat cops or tripling the number of prison beds. No peace can come from kingpin statutes and civil
3:14.2	forfeiture laws and warrantless searches and whatever the hell else is about to be tossed into next
	...
