ABSTRACT
Michael arrived at the office after having been called in to see his probation officer again.
“Do you know why I called you in again?” Mr. Jones asked. “I have no idea,” Michael replied. “We’ve got another positive test,” said Mr. Jones. Michael shrugged and said, “Well, it must be wrong. You guys
must have screwed up somewhere cause it ain’t me.” “Michael, this is the third time you’ve failed a drug test in the
past month.” “Well, what am I supposed to do?” Michael asked. “No one will
give me a job. Every time I get out of prison, they tell me to get a job but no one will ever hire me because I have a criminal record or I’m not qualified. Besides, I’ve got too much class to be working some minimum-wage job.”
