Hey Timothy! I thought all of the articles you found definitely took into consideration important problems that people have. I feel like you focused on more specific problems, which is different from my approach as I focused on more general problems in this assignment. I specifically thought the issue of the inmate visitation hours was interesting as although it focuses on a specific group, I'm sure there are other prisons/correctional facilities that are experiencing similar issues.
