Life in Prison

I must say that today's 'research' was a poor showing. We had a lot of "my uncle told me" and "I heard from someone" information. When we do research we want it to be two things:

A) Quantitative (showing numbers, ratios, etc)
or Qualitative (showing the quality of something)

B) from a credible source

If your uncle is a police officer, then the best thing to do is to write down his exact statements in an interview. You should ask questions that will give quantitative or qualitative answers.

We'll be doing some more work on this in class as you need to be prepared to do research next year in high school.

Here's some links you can check out for info on life in prison:

Pakistan: Ministry of Interior
