 When you start the one to do right? I mean, people came and say, we made you do this, we made you win and go straight out instead of standing straight like this. Well what made me go straight is, when I not seeing them, wasn't playing when they gave me that 35 years to life. Yeah we on Boss Talk 101. when you started one to do right? I mean people came and said we made you want to do this. We made you want to go straight out instead of standing straight like this? Well, what made me go straight is, when I'd seen them, wasn't playing when they gave me that 35 years to life. And I asked, why me? I didn't do the crime. They planted the drug, saw me to get me, the case to get me out the way. And then, you know, early in the day, I'd say, well, maybe it's God pushing me. But really, since I was the first one to ever get out up under the California Three Strikes Law and History, we were set a level four, which is in California. It's the highest maximum security prison you can go to. Minimum, minimum, maximum. And then this, this is the highest level where you don't see the sun come up. You don't see it go down. You're going to get maybe two hours of yard time. You're going to walk in a straight line with a human walk where you're doing a human diamond line. It's pretty much where you're not getting a job for 10 or 12 years. It's like salt laying on wood. So anyway, we had a yard where nobody's going home. Everybody's life first. We are trying to do what we can. And everybody knew I had a chance on getting out on an appeal from a life sentence, which is, you heard earlier, Mar mentioned one of Geronimo Prats and then George Jackson, him comrades that spent in jail 50. It's usually very hard to come off from a life. So when I got the paper on the appeal, everybody was standing around looking out the cages. And I was shaking so hard because I knew my life. If this paper say denied, I'm dying in prison. It's over. It's over with. But when I opened it, that first thing I'd seen was we won. And I just told him, shout it out. I'm gone, homies. So everybody, I had to wait 90 days. That was kind of stressful because the pillar of the court could file an appeal, even though it wouldn't have been, it would have been married to this. It still would have tied me up two more years. So from them seeing me getting ready to go, all of them gathered around and said, Melvin, don't forget about us. And so that inspired me to keep my word because a lot of these guys, I've been knowing more so in jail. And I've been knowing them all my life, but we've always been in jail doing what we do as opposed to on the streets. And I just took it upon myself. I wrote a book in 1998. I wrote that in six hours. That's still relevant. Then come 2000, I was with a political action group to where we actually wrote a law called the California 2003 Strikes Initiative. I'll send you a picture. And we did that. And then I joined families to amend three strikes, which was facts, cats, California's to amend three strikes and stuff like that. And then we opened up a Balt, who is that, Puff Daddy 2014 after I got out, Puffy had started Reboat. I was one of the first guests on there when he started it in Englewood. Most people think it's on the East Coast. Reboat started in Englewood and I was one of the first guests on there. And from there, I started doing civil rights, legal work, high profile murders, whether it be by friend, family, or foe, or those that are here to serve and protect you. And I just started doing things to where I just started leading by example to show you that if I can do it, you can. You know.
