    Suicide is a crime in South Sudan, legally and socially. A few months ago, people who attempted suicide were imprisoned. Now, there’s a realization that people need help — which is why Thomas was brought to a hospital instead of jail.

    Because slums are essentially off the grid, it’s pretty easy for governments or private developers to ignore them — or destroy them when their existence becomes inconvenient. Residents rarely have the political or legal muscle to defend themselves.
