a police officer in the it is nearby jamal has spent almost three decades on death row in january he was taken off the row and is now serving life behind bars without parole for the first time since his transfer and he's speaking exclusively with our t. from jail. thank you so much for speaking with us today my first question to you is after almost thirty years on death row and now serving a life sentence without parole if you weren't behind bars right now if you could be anywhere else in the world where do you think you would be and what would you be doing. i've always been sent my earliest years what was called international studies i pay attention to what's happening in other parts of the world and as an internationalist i'm. thinking about life lived by other people all around the world of course as an african-american i would love to spend some

time in parts of africa but it's also true that i have many friends and loved ones and friends i was really like to. bring my family my wife and my kids to come see our street. money i was wondering being behind bars you seem to be watching world affairs much closer than most people who are free to walk the streets and i want to ask you which events of the last thirty years would you really want to be a part of if you could i think first would probably be the anti-apartheid movement and south africa because of course while it was south africa it was also global because it was the touch point of white supremacy versus the freedom and dignity of african people south africa which would be a. logical first choice but wherever people are fighting for freedom you know that kind of but i have a time and it gets my attention and moves my passion you turn sixty eight at the

end of the month which means you will have spent more than half of your life behind bars and most people said even begin to imagine that what is it like how does it change your. the point of fact that i spent most of my life. bigger percentage of my life. and i cannot have had a profound effect on consciousness and on. the way one sees and interacts with the world. i like to tell myself that i've actually spent a lot of the time. on the bars and in other countries and you know. other parts of the world because i did so mentally but mental can only take you so far. the truth of the matter is i spent most of my living years in my lifetime on death row so in many ways even to this day in my own mind.

if not it back i'm still on your story has really become a symbol for many of our flawed justice system do you personally have any faith left in a fair and free justice system you've described in your work the prison system the united states as the war on the poor are prisons being built to get rid of the broken the homeless you have any faith left in that system at all considering you are obviously so much part of a part of it in your life has been so much affected by. when i was a teenager and i was in the back of the party i remember going to downtown manhattan and protesting against the. political imprisonment and incarceration and the threats facing angela davis. and i remember you know of course like many of the characters reading her works. and. finding when she attacked the prison system she talked about the perhaps two hundred fifty thousand

or three hundred thousand people in prison all throughout the united states that is not just a problem that need to be dealt with but. a crisis situation that bordered on fascism well fast forward thirty four years to the present there are more than three hundred thousand prisoners in california alone one state out of fifty the imprisonment in california notice i'm not talking about united states but in california alone exceeds that of france of belgium of england and perhaps you guys could name four five of the countries combined so we could not perceive back then of what it would be calm and. you know so it's it's monstrous when you really look at what's happening there you can literally talk about millions of people being part of that is incarcerated by the prison industrial complex today men women

and children and that level of mass incarceration really mass repression has to have an immense impact and effect on the outer community that just among families but in a social and community consciousness way and the ankle cation of fear among generations so it's at a level that many of us could not even fathom or dream of today you know i can't help but wonder why you talk about so many important social and economic issues in your work. do you have a dream today if you could one of those scenes which one would you pick what do you wish you could see happen in the you know there's never one thing i mean it's a separate question and i understand it and i will address it but the point is because the system is a system of interconnectedness and because one part of the system impacts another

part of the system and because what antonio prompts you call hachiman a very ideological system impacts other parts of the system you can't change one thing that will impact all things i think if anything that's one of the lessons of like six because the civil rights movement was talking about a gracious and this and that and changing the schools in point of fact if you look at the vast majority of working class and poor black kids in american schools today . they believe they live and spend their hours in their days in a system profoundly as segregated as that of their grandparents but it's not segregated by race or segregated by race and class formally class which impacts race the great jonathan consul who has researched american education for forty years has written in one of his most recent books that the american educational system is an apartheid system i know from my personal interaction with my family

you know talking to my wife my kids and even to grant you that the schools that my grandchildren go to are worse than the schools i went to when i was in my mind or yours and in my teenage years that's a condemnation of a system because former generations only concentrated on one thing or one side of the father the problems really got worse and worse and worse and while there is a lot of rhetoric about schools. american schools are a tragedy if you only think it is because i was i would rephrase that american schools and many of the black and latino communities are not a tragedy they are a crime were monitored by the f.b.i. at the age of fourteen and i want to ask you now was laws such as the being passed in the united states where people are watched again and can be held that's become

easier than ever do you think they grow other has officially shown his faith in this country at this point. well let's look at it this way if you look back at the cointelpro era what is clear is that the f.b.i. and their leaders and their agents knew that everything they did was illegal and agents were taught and trained how to break into places how to do what they called black bag jobs and that kind of stuff how to commit crimes but this is what they were also to. do it and you bet i could cause because if you get caught you're going to jail it will act like we'll throw you your own has happened in the last twenty thirty years well not just the. but the so-called patriot act has made everything that was a good legal back in the one nine hundred sixty s. and nineteen fifties and nineteen seventies. they legalized legalized they legalized the very things that f.b.i.

agents and administrators knew was criminal back then that means they can look in your mail they certainly can read your e-mail they cap your phones they do all that but they do it in the name of that show security but they do with nonetheless what we live in today is a national security state with big brother is. legalized legal rationalize you describe politicians once as prostitutes in suits getting your apologies to on as prostitutes so i want to ask you would selections even in the united states right now people trust who would you vote for the body frankly i mean if i have let me put it this way i have seen no one that i could in good conscience vote for today. because most of the people that are out there of the two major political parties and when they saw it all i hear is a kind of that. reasonable. wish to return

to days of yore the nineteenth or they talk about the perpetuation of the american empire imperialist by god i mean what is difficult for many people consciously when they go to the polls are voting for imperialism or voting for more war of willing for their son or daughter or father or mother for that matter to become a member of the armed forces and become. a mass murderer bomber or a very organised since we have fifty thousand and i just want to ask you lastly you seem to have endorsed the occupy wall street movement that has sprung up all over the united states. is this a public uprising that you think could change america and do good for the united states i think beginning of the kind of uprising because it has to be deeper it has to be broader it has to be addressed issues that are touching on the lives of poor and working. christ i think it's a waste but i think it's a damn good i just wish it was bigger. since our time is running out so mia

can i ask you you are the voice of the voiceless what is your message to your supporters today right now while listening to you. in the words of kwame to re-organize organize organize and i love you all and i thank you for fighting for me now let's try to get free thank you so much for your time today thank you for talking with us the best of luck thank you thank you thank you. this was the plan that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in the condition where it had become

which is great because here you have world championship play this analysis will chip in for the fans televised around the thousands of people go to see it the day they now recognize the fighters and it's it's a really great environment for boston. and it started it because there was a period more where and it still exists that the ring announcer has to introduce old the officials and before the fighters and still have had a moment of fighters on the ring the music and play think it's very exciting and then. the ring announcer and the speech. he kills the atmosphere that electricity that we created by the fighters making their entrance to the ring so i wanted something that would ignite the crowd that bring them back to the point with
