Keep ya head up young brotha.

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

America is insanely ghettoised. Sweep the problem away...

[TheArtistWill]

More people need to see this.

[dandaman4ever]

Once they get out, they'll be right back.

[TheArtistWill]

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.
