Both Bad Days

By Alanis Mejia

His name is Osmar Chavez and her name is Idannia Melendez and both of them were in prison some years ago. They don’t know each other but I think that its interesting to interview both of them because they have very different stories but both are so interesting. Osmar is only 17 years old, but Idannia is 32 years old.

Osmar went to prison in may of the year 2010, when he was just only 14 years old and he is from Mexico. He was in prison about seven months and then immigration toke him about 2 more months. Then he came back to the school and knows he will graduate.

Idannia Melendez went to prison un the year 2006, she is from Costa Rica, she went to prison because she was her friends accomplice but she remembers almost nothing of what happened in the moment, she just tell me that she was in prison like 5 months. I think that the rules have to be different in this country because Osmar went to prison just for fighting with other man and he went more time than Idannia and Idannia went to prison for something really bad and stayed there less time than Osmar.
