I work with youth as well and this is a crucial component — having contact and wisdom from the people who have been there and done that.

Unfortunately some of these people are continually disrespected and put down when they attempt to raise issues of unfair treatment within the prison system itself.

Just ask Darrell Jones, who was targeted along with State Rep. Gloria Fox and Joanna Marinova: As noted in the pending Defamation lawsuit against the Herald and Channel 7, false allegations of sexual conduct were issued to stain the credibility of those who seek real prison reform.

Here’s a recent blog entry on it with Emily Rooney and Beat the Press:

Here’s a recent radio show on it with Ms. Marinova, local clergy and me:

They are supposed to show a good example for kids like when when I was growing up. I am 18 showing the new generation, or at least trying to but I can’t even teach them because when I was younger all the “older” cats were shootin each other up. I guess being in prison turns you into a real man after awhile, they go in all tryna be hood then after so many years they want to do the right thing all of the sudden. Hope y’all come home soon and when y’all get out; dont do the same things again!
