Jobs are sent overseas, the CIA floods inner cities with drugs, education is underfunded, states resources depleted, and prisons are hyper funded accompanied with draconian drug laws...what a recipe for enslavement

Kimonti Carter was 19 years old when i met him first time at Monroe Correctional Complex. he was my celly, my student and brother to me. he do not want nothing from outside community for himself, only he want from you to save our kids from gang activities and he do not want to see them to end up in prison like him. i am not from this country but i saw lot of young people locked up in prison in this country. Kimont only want to send his message through Black prisoner caucus for change. Dhaliwal

What Kimonti said is true for a lot of troubled kids. The reason why we have brothas killing each other is because they came from poor socio-economic and domestic conditions with no alternatives, no support and no love. When they end up in prison, if they end up in prison, it makes it worse because they are punished instead of given help. Plus, when they get out of prison, they return to the same environment that molded them. We really need to make a change.

Thank you for putting this together and posting it. What an eloquent young man. If you watch this, and are not currently participating in changing our militaristic, rascist, classist society, for the better, I hope this gives you a reason to do so.

We must find a way to change the orientation of our system because we are loosing so many wonderful people. Kids need the support early in their lives and once they are in the system, treatment and education must be provided. It is the only humane and sensible thing to do.
