Michigan's STG label means no work for you

I would like to donate money, but inside of these walls I have to hustle to gain what little paper and envelopes I get off the yard. In this state's correctional system, if you're labeled a gang member they exclude you from obtaining a job of any kind. They say you're allowed to attend school. But twice, if not more, I've been in school and suddenly kicked out because of no problem on my behalf, except me being a gang member.
