00:00:00
If it hadn't been for drugs, I wouldn't
00:00:02
have broken the law. I wouldn't have
00:00:04
gone that way. I wouldn't have become a
00:00:05
burglar. I wouldn't have become a
00:00:07
robber. Mhm. I was just a drug offender
00:00:09
because I wanted to
00:00:11
have some fun. What reduces your
00:00:14
likelihood of becoming a criminal
00:00:16
>> Mhm. is your upbringing.
00:00:17
>> Yeah.
00:00:18
>> Primarily. And if you've been bashed
00:00:20
around and and badly parented or
00:00:22
serially parented or suffered parental
00:00:25
abdication when you're young,
00:00:27
you're likely to go off the rails. And
00:00:29
there was a saying amongst the Maoris,
00:00:31
"The prison's full of Maoris and the
00:00:33
visiting rooms full of Pakehas." Mhm.
00:00:36
With the Maoris didn't get visits.
00:00:38
They came from these really
00:00:40
dysfunctional
00:00:41
>> dysfunctional, chaotic, splintered
00:00:43
environments. That's a big factor. I
00:00:46
mean, I had my family backing me up. I
00:00:48
had my dad and my mom visiting me
00:00:50
regularly. You've got to have those same
00:00:52
people who visiting you when you're
00:00:55
when you're in jail, they're standing
00:00:57
for you and helping you when you get
00:00:59
out.
