Rehabilation and Treatment: Joe Martinez

The convict strolled into the prison administration building to get assistance and counseling for his personal problems. Just inside the main door were several other doors, proclaiming: Parole, Counselor, Chaplain, Doctor, teacher, Correction, and Therapist.

The convict chose the door marked Correction, inside of which were two doors: Custody and Treatment. He chose Treatment, and was confronted with two more doors, Juvenile and
Adult. He chose the proper door and was again faced with two doors: Previous Offender and First Offender.

Once more, he walked through the proper door, and, again, two doors: Democrat and Republican. He was a Democrat; and so he hurried through the appropriate door and ran smack into two more doors: Black and White. He was black; and so he walked through that door--and feel nine stories to the street.
