Great book but needs more writing

This was a short read, and very good book. great photographs. like the previous poster said above, Rodriguez does a great job at giving readers a look inside this world and his past life thru the photography. This book is mostly photographs, w/ not alot of writing. I wish it would of had more writing, but it is a good book. I also wish the author could have gotten the members in this book to comment a lil bit more.. There's mostly comments from ppl who run the juvenile facilities. Overall, a good book, but wish it had a lil bit more to offer.
