Choice Bus shows students two sides of education
Henry Love-Mathews, 11, walked into the jail cell and heard the door clang behind him.
A single blanket covered a mannequin in a cot.
Love-Mathews stared at the only other furnishings, a toilet and washbasin combo on the wall in full view of the bars. "You have no privacy in the jail cell," Love-Mathews said.
"You eat the same food over and over again," added Javeryian Anderson, 12, "and it’s not very sanitary. It gives you diarrhea."
Love-Mathews and Anderson, students at Southwest Middle School in Pine Bluff, Ark., were learning what it feels like to be confined to a jail cell on the Choice Bus.
