6:41 am
you take and we pieces and you manage it. so coming home, it's hard to kind of like transition because as a side is not normal, people don't shit the most of all to have been psychologically reprogrammed. and that's like how did you last a lifetime sometimes we don't ever recover from those traumatic experiences of this so now says off bigger channels for brain. and right now there's coping with the next person. you know, it was best known and job. last week i ended up getting a job with someone telling me what to look. it puts you in a mindframe. so like you,

6:44 am
a sofa in a way that you don't want to suffer in prison. now he's back in society. he has his own. brandon seals himself behind his bolt. and i think that he's trying to find his niche. when does he really belong? he's going to keep going until he's bad, where he's feeling the i don't want it and i want to be invoice. right? yeah, i'm ready. right. it doesn't work that way. i don't feel like i'm except the
6:45 am
parent though we always watch. i'm on parole for 1718 while you is the simplest thing dick in friday or send me back to prison in the row system. if you do the wrong thing, you could always test away from. okay. all right, i mean, you 30 man we are right there about to pay that for road days in the 1st so right now my parole fee is $63.00 a month and i may have to pay them at least a $187.00 times. so the total would be $11781.00.
6:46 am
i'm free but i'm not free because i'm still really basically down to the department of corrections disputed solid and show you know, my the and he's that one is a need to see a guy to report to a man with a gun and a bass. this man came to my doses of practice. mon, i'm looking for him. he is not locked up, but he still got a mouth cause that probation officer can we both? can i send him back? he's free and he's now free. the, you don't bring your child into to where to become a prisoner no matter how long he was gonna be in prison. i was gonna be use rad in dash, cuz he didn't have anyone. and now the shame of him gone to prison. i mean,
6:47 am
he was worthy to see him walk out of dreamy and he was out there she was. there was just barely writing. it's something that you can explain cause had way too. so i would have worked uh the 25 years in prison. brandon jackson served that time for armed robbery, even though some members of the jury felt him not guilty. there are about 1500
6:48 am
other prisoners in the state, georgia affected by split jury's and are still in prison. despite the supreme court ruling, those verdicts unconstitutional the way louisiana lawmakers created the gym. closure was 1898. they wrote our mission was to establish the supremacy of the right. right.
6:49 am
that's what they wrote. and it did what it was designed to do. we still have the highest incarceration rate in the world. the laws need to be changed. the are common law, but i stand for 1000 the time, especially about 30 minutes of to an hour of talk in the well, how are you? well, thank you for giving us these. hi. brandon has
6:50 am
a non in history verdict recently been pro and wanted an opportunity to talk on behalf of himself and the others to remain in louisiana's prison system. i've received a live sentence for crime that i didn't commit 10 wides. you responded, year to 2 blacks did. i did 25 and a half years. i watch all my family members that we can't confuse law. we just, we can't do that because we all are in agreement that this is a racist allow the supreme court ruled that it was on the constitution, but they ruled it prospective, instead of who knew rich rac what if it's on constitutional shouldn't be all caught in his book ball and that's why i'm sitting there today.
6:51 am
i'm alone right now, but stand for the house. because i was crying the same way that they still offer mine or the ball. sometimes it takes you know, mean faces to come here, given the opposition that with a look we go, it's like single flight like hill. i hope it doesn't take them. when you get knocked down and your back even look up, we don't get up. they'll continue to fight whatever you need me to do is just call coming i'm. i'm now appreciate you a hi staff gigabytes. proud. gotta help a lot of the okay. are you doing? my brother was convicted of it to jim crow. jerry. i
6:52 am
feel like i was gonna do what i can do. i'm gonna do it. yeah. that i'm a fight for it. ok. it keeps me crowd. it keeps me hopeful say organizing the trip to go to new orleans, but it's in too. oh awesome. then all of us have gone on formerly across the really she was just going so i'll support the
6:53 am
support already declared these jim ro, jerry was unconstitutional. what's his faith now? is whether that should be retroactive or does it people still in prison by a non unanimous verdict must space a new trial. the we are here today to move out of the court to let them know that the welding the marble will be in the phase of freedom. freedom of the way, all we have to do is hold on the what do you hope happens tomorrow? i'm hoping to adjust the news or if that's an unconstitutional loan. why can't you overturn? let's make it right, director the
6:54 am
grid, the you all you go rogers, the may i please the court. in this state. we believe that people are innocent until proven guilty. but hundreds of predominantly block louisiana and remain in prison despite never having a constitutional verdict. and they do so based on louisiana's last jim crow
6:55 am
law. and we can fix that here. we're waiting on the today, louisiana supreme court heard spaby rad nearly a 100 years after the 1890 a constitutional convention for the purpose of insuring the supremacy of the white race in louisiana. and hopefully today were able to write that wrong. feel like this is a case opportunity to to really kill louisiana, the
