9:48 pm
that was me. i was one who led to demonstration and it was met by people who would guns in and all of the stuff that people had in the. itll sixty's to stop african-american kids from their mistreating from seeking now dance civil rights. after years of political activity calvin johnson became the first black judge in louisiana. he's often dealt with sheriffs. or words i can use to to describe what i feel about that. but then you would have to cut those words out of this interview. because lavery had indeed the way to keep people in slavery was to use the justice system and they fix laws such that the newly freed people for misleads would be put back
9:49 pm
in jail and then be forced to go back on the plantations and work is not that they are. a mean people of bad people or it's it's that they are as much a a for lack of a better word victim of the system as the people who are in the jails of victims of the system because we are a poor state and we have used all kinds of means always to to fund our sales so the sheriff in those places all using that as a means to fund. the sheriff's self and his and was needs to operate when he's using it for that purpose and the louisiana law the third time he did one of those things i just described you could go to jail for
9:50 pm

9:51 pm
forward on the trying to push it through my face. as i reminded her was about to pop out of sockets to have peace. on the backside as i'm permanently damaged. it was in the hospital again they tell me that i was a job the positive. told him i must have somebody else's records confused with man because i'm not positive and they said yes you are. i'm. here. for you to talk about everything. no three no come on laugh and. so on me and. steve returns to prison but his treatments didn't begin until months later thanks to social workers like darren stanley prisoners can hope for medical care as a source we're going to figure out how to get that medication since you and
9:52 pm
a list of. who say they will do h. every medication in a blister pack. according to the sheriff's twenty four dollars per prisoner per day isn't enough to pay for eighty. treatment louisiana was very odd compared to the other states it was very clear that we had a very big problem with our parish and city jails providing aids every medication treatment to the inmates it was crystal clear you consider the cults of medication i could imagine there's a lot of aids hiv positive and mates there are not getting treatment. the old prison of new orleans is finally in the past it was one of the was just in the united states. the new prisoner looks like an office building. even inside it's very different. than our ideas on our condition

9:54 pm
within that budget she you. take care of all of our operations here under the old system there was an incentive to have more. inmates because the more you have them then when you get. outdated and inhumane. an unambiguous indictment of the state's other prisons. with its new system new orleans wants to set a positive example but with a creative president in a state with established traditions independent parishes and old awful sheriff's. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a.
9:55 pm
is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution your kerf someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. altie we have a great scheme we need to strengthen before the free float world cold and you're
