It's a shame that our justice system has become a business instead of a living standard of laws. We have to protect the innocent or the guilty will always prevail.

I believe that people seeking paralegal certification an/or law degrees should be required to work for a year in a jail or a prison with people wanting to reduce or overturn their sentences!!✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻✊

These stories are horrible and beautiful all at once. These things should never have happened. I think hearing these stories are so incredibly important and everyone should hear these stories. To know that bad things are and have happened and that it's not ok. But also to know that people can prevail and that's precisely why we need change. Because people are worth it and hard work needs to be done to facilitate change. Listen to these stories and sit in the hurt with them.

perfect example of the shit so called humans that controls the prison system, to put this man in the same cell of the guy that killed his son is fucking cruel and they damn well know what they were trying to do.
