Stop in for a cup of coffee

I used to work with at risk youth and junvielle and young adult offenders from cities all over the US. Had a 15 yr old explain that to me after he got kicked from our program for smacking a kid with a banana. Said he needed to go back to Cleveland where he could make 300 bucks a night selling crack. I tried telling him he’d end up dead or in jail and I got that about jail explained to me.
