In an Op-Ed piece published in todays Salt Lake Tribune, a successful Honduran immigrant describes what it is like visiting her grandmother who is a virtual prisoner in her own home because of the rampant crime and corruption.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

My grandma’s property doesn’t have a concrete wall. And it troubles me to think that becoming a prisoner in her home is now an answer to personal safety.

Ever since her three dogs were poisoned, she has a harder time leaving the house. Every window and door must be secured. At night, before locking herself in her bedroom, she sets little traps in case someone breaks in.

This first person account takes you to the pathetic place that hundreds of children are trying to escape from.
