In We've Got a Job, why does Audrey want to go to jail?

probably because she don't want to face reality anymore

In "We've Got a Job," we encounter the stories of several children in Birmingham, Alabama, including that of Audrey Hendricks. These children wanted to fight against inequality and segregation, and they were inspired by other social movements that were taking place at the time. The children engaged in various actions, including the Birmingham Children's March. The children even voluntarily went to jail.

The reason Audrey wanted to go to jail was because she wanted to participate in the movement in order to fight for equality and desegregation.
