'When an individual grows up in a broken social construct, it isn't necessarily that the individual is bad.'
, there are only about 226,000 people locked up in federal facilities compared to the nearly 1.3 million in state prisons. And while some states are leading the way , bold, swift reforms at both the state and federal levels remain necessary.Let's talk about the new COVID-19 bill. What could it mean for someone like you?
I fall in the category of old law co-defendants: I was sentenced prior to the year of 2000 with an indeterminate life sentence. When I look [at my release date], I have to see the word"deceased." Psychologically, it discourages you when you're living with a death sentence and you know that you haven't even lived 20 years in society and that your life is taken away from you. That kills the spirit.
I was more nervous — not so much about meeting someone who's an icon— but more about sharing things that are dear to myself and my family. [But] sitting in front of [Kim], I felt like I was sitting in front of a home girl. Even before the interview took place, we were already in conversation. She was so relatable.

I started it in the DC jail. The official launch date was February 2018. Since launch, we've probably had well over 200 guys who have matriculated inside the community. My colleague Michael Woody and I are the founders, but it would have not taken off if [the agency] didn't approve of it. So the director, Quincy Booth, needs to be praised. The Department of Corrections, the DOC, too.
