Stopped at the light in East Cambridge. Driver in the car to my right calls out to me, “Do you know how to get to the Nashua Street jail?”
Sorry, I don’t have any idea. I’ve never even heard of it.
She repeats the question to the driver in the car to her right. Who provides a full set of directions with no hesitation.
So that’s part of what the highest incarceration rate in the world gets you.

I was thinking about making a joke about how the highest incarceration rate in the world gets you to East Cambridge. And then, you know, not so much a joke.
Thanks,

Yeah, I was four blocks from the enormous Cambridge courthouse compound.
