“Read the entire text of Mr. Alexander's e-mail below:

Dear Mr. Benson,

The purpose of this letter is to advise you that I cannot keep enough booklets of 10-20-Life in stock in my classroom. The reason for this is that the students keep taking them to their units and home. They find this booklet the most informative piece of literature, striking a real cord with them. They read it over and over, and do all the activities in the back. Hence my reordering of the books.

I teach law studies at the Miami-Dade Juvenile Justice Detention Center, and students are very interested in the class since most of their time is occupied with law or they are worried about some issues in law. I tried to bring some understanding to their present state of being and I teach out of a textbook titled Street Law. I teach everything from criminal law to juvenile justice, torts, and contract. But students find this text booklet the most interesting in the course. It really strikes home with them.

Thanks for publishing it and keep up the good work.

God Bless,
James T. Alexander,
