"Ghetto Lockboxes"
Fion, 8th grade
Youth in PhotoVoice discussed that typical "ghetto" mailboxes have a lock on them because will steal paychecks, welfare checks, and food stamp cards.
The lock on their doors is supposed to keep people from breaking in, but this happens anyway.
The police used to break in doors all the time to homes in the devlopment, but now they have a key to public housing apartments.
