5:34 pm
i didn't like the life that i was living, but somehow i felt helpless to change it. i felt like i was just being carried on this wave of circumstance, not being able to have a job not being able to be the person that i saw that i could be i just couldn't seem to get to her. i remember a few days before being incarcerated, crying out to god and knowing how trapped i felt knowing how limited my options were. and i just wanted out of that life. i didn't stand on the corner. i didn't do drive by, but i had a boyfriend that did and i had fooled myself in this thinking that if i just stayed on the fringes of that lifestyle, that i couldn't get caught up. that wasn't true. only started around and not single
5:35 pm
suspects. and i was on my boyfriend, was one of my protestations of innocence. i just fell on deaf ears. there must be no doubt about who side were on. people who commit crimes should be caught convicted and punished. their savings will be used to put a 100000 police officers on the street a 20 percent increase. it will be used to build prisoners to keep a 100000 violent criminals off the street. you will be put away and put away for good 3 strikes, menu bar. 1993, washington state was the 1st states and the nation to implement the 3 strikes policy and make it okay to put people in prison and throw away the key. there are many people who rehabilitated their lives, who could be contributing to our young people, to our families, and that door has been slammed shut in washington state. we are still one of only
5:36 pm
16 states. it does not have the process. what's interesting about washington state is really reflective of what's interesting about the whole country. this country is based on fear. when you have a country that is based on or that has grown out of conservation and slavery. people who don't rest easy. that's why everyone needs to be armed in this country to protect what they have. because what they have was stolen may not talk about it may not admit it. was there whether you are on the read or on the blue. whatever side it is, know once these easily in this country, mister speaker, i simply want to say legislators have an inherent conflict of interest. the number one objective in the legislature is to get re elected the also, how do you get re elected? it's really easy, found your podium exam, tough on crime, that the children who have been killed. the victims of bias,
5:37 pm
the public is set up and that means more prison todd. we have a greater percentage of our population in prison right now in any society, in the history of western civilization. and we have this high and mighty attitude about ourselves. i want you to imagine that as much as $60.00 to $0.70 out of every tax dollar in my county, it goes towards criminal justice. it is a horrendous waste of resources. if you don't care about people, it's a horrendous waste of resources on a private and washing. it's very, very easy to instigate deer. that's what happened with 3 strikes. because the face of the threat then became young, black and brown. man, we need to take these people on. they are often connected to big drug cartels. they are not just gangs of kids anymore. they are often the kinds of kids that are called super predatory is no conscience,
5:38 pm
no empathy. we can talk about why they ended up that way, but 1st we have to bring them to heal in the present. it is asked the f b i to launch a very concerted effort against games everywhere. john and i were to go to the f. b, i task for cyber form and a task force. the work games we met with the drugs are privately as you go around the country and you see communities everywhere, people who were no longer going to hide in their houses. this is our hill, all we wanted to know is go by your drugs. if you all are per lake, we don't come here. you got to take us there, but are willing with leadership and with involvement, police directions, least about what i take to the streets. you want to know while we're having success with our federal task force because it set them up out of the country and not all of them are kicking like we were in the wanted to know why john and i knew the gang members from work on the street and so we kind of knew who they should be targeting the,
5:39 pm
the place started doing more sweeps, they would just get the kids and round them up for whatever little reason they could if they could get them on a set and they give them a loan so keep them from ever coming. that is to plant built in these keys, plant guns and escaped chickens doors and they get the search warrant later i got you got you down in a damn bay in the date they got you. one of them was all by yourself, and if it costs you by yourself, your going to jail may not have been even been a criminal activity. they just because they were out there, they get them just on low during finals walk into the corner store. and i, and i saw a house little further up that i thought look nice. so i wanted to walk by the police saw me them say to me, what you do on here. usually around here,
5:40 pm
a winery, the narrative that we keep hearing is that there are people entitled to be here. even though folks know that this is not any bodies to snap your land. so that narrative of being entitled and really protecting that is really what drives a lot, but we as a country don't want to uncover that it's too painful. given a race based country such as we are the people that really are impacted by the poor us. and the blacks the looking back now i'm able to see everything that happened. i wasn't able to see it the so it wasn't able to avoid the trash that were set for me. a lot of us weren't. i don't want to excuse any of the crimes that were committed because they were crimes committee, but some people didn't commit crimes and were just caught up in different is that they chose and it wasn't even the friends that they chose. the friends with i grew
5:41 pm
up with this has been able to do, they need, these are the kids you went to school with these, these people who's on the house and went to the sunday dinner. and most of us didn't just wake up and say, i want to be a gang member, this is what i'm going to be in life. which is who went to that because this will expose to enable the last part of my career and the best job police department i had halting the freedom to set my own targets in my own investigation. as long as i was producing, they left me alone. so do you have a lot of supervision by the late ninety's at the hilltop area was pretty much cleaned up the
5:42 pm
good afternoon. jake, is it out? aggravated murder. the drama aggravated murder is the highest crime in washington. they changed some law in a hard time for on crime in 1994 that says if a murder occurs during the discharge of a fire or from a motor vehicle, then you can be subject to the death penalty or life in prison. if i would have got senses to 1st to be murder, i probably would have as 27 years since the murder occurred during the discharge of a file from a motor vehicle and at $777.00. use. the reason that the judge did not have the ability to give them the sentence of less than life without parole,
5:43 pm
is that the legislature made it an aggravating circumstance to do a drive by shooting. because he shot impulsively without knowing who was in the other car. but out of a car, only one punishment was appropriate. that love was past because mostly white legislators viewed it as words for gang members to shoot from a car. it was a clear reaction to the fear, black and hispanic individuals, a weapon to the commission of the crime. the promise of the criminal justice system is that he rises above the race. so it would be the title of the when i work in washington state, it's a state that is overwhelmingly why that's not true when i go into a prison. criminal justice system remains broken by the influence of race. the
5:44 pm
george williams is that he's got to see what we can finish to some of the most single slides. but the task that the pacific was told that a little quick look at the air conditioning, whether it's a photo on the 15. yeah. well, the other stuff, and i do see there with these reasoning, they don't put him in union, which is i to the or the
5:45 pm
5:46 pm
around the feel like feel like something's not real, the down and search some roller coaster on your emotional wellbeing. did you put in a sale 8 by 10? so with people that you don't know, you never may. you don't know what they're there for. what the bell isn't deprivation to years answers or to explain you're away from everything that you know. i could not conceive of my life taking place within the walls that i saw around me. we're going to give you 3 meals a day. we don't give us the minutes lab for us to go slab to sleep on. and that's basically yet. there is no rehabilitation,
5:47 pm
there's no repair present as a socializing force and total institution does it work by and large, now people learn to become anti social is not designed to help anybody grow officers and make sure that you understand that you are a prisoner when you find yourself in contact with them. they tend to look down as a way of not giving you eye contact for a lot of prisoners, a kind of makes them internalized that you're nobody i don't think that as prisoners were treated as people now i'm able to handle values all over light and a slavery,
5:48 pm
you know, mainly to get out of that guy is guy just so i used to be a young know, sitting in his room and i used to be talking about stuff that i didn't have no clue about. you know, i'm saying politics, policies, legislators, nice to hear people speak about these different things. i use it. i hate not knowing that i used to hate watching cnn. see these guys talking about politics and have no clue about what they was talking about. but knowing that these decisions were affecting my life. and i would say that that is kind of one of the things that sent me on my quest. i wanted to learn. i think that the opportunities with the black prisoners caucus, with my interaction with free people, i'm able to really internalize it. i'm not an offender. i'm not a prisoner. i'm just a man who happens to be in prison. one of the things that the black presidents cough is says is that they may be absent from community, but there's still a part of community sales. people come from the outside every single week who cared
5:49 pm
about us in understanding with let us know that we were still part of the community . i always remember, mary. she said, if we planned on returning back to the community, how we came in here, then we might as well stay in here. i was the president of the platform, this congress at monroe. i went to the whole for a class and fraction possession of a cell phone because i was life without. it didn't grant me the opportunity to stay at my gosh, have to call him back. the office was essentially a large part of every day. this was going on, but when i got here that was enough, i basically just reached out to ministration. and it was kind of hesitant on allowing us to be able to have the name like prisoners congress. it was to radical
5:50 pm
for them, i think for something to have black and the just reinforced the black 1st is called as, as a long for doctors history within the department of corrections the . and so eventually it was never been able to to really get going. and so, you know, as we started to have some of our 1st meetings, the idea was now what is it that we want to see, right? what are the opportunities that we need in order for us to, you know, really stay committed on improve yourself. you'll begin to meet people who's been there longer than you've been a lot. people want them since the 7th. and so you'll realize that
5:51 pm
they're really not letting people a study as a more of the on the sides. not only do you have to make a commitment, but you have to make a choice. if i still want to continue live in the life that got me here, or i want to try and live in a better way. we can never become somebody different, but we can become a better version of the
5:52 pm
almost immediately upon entering our cloud. i'm very, i found out that a few guys have just started a program and they call teach and just uh for taken education and create and help me and come on and call it. i've been on it since with his kids in the same place. he was on the east side, i was on the heel down. so we was really rivals back in when he kind of gave when he came here. say them he was and he was involved a, b, b, c. and he won and started. he's program they kind of with the idea. we was like okay, let's do it. there was several of us or a column bay who had a lot of time to do and present and we weren't being allowed to attain education class. the priority for our education department is those individuals with 7 years or less on their sense. so if you have more than 7 years, which a lot of people do, you don't get a chance to get an education. we want it to get professors to be able to come out
5:53 pm
here, but we was too far. so the next thing was, do we either let each program go to waste or do we figure out a way to make it float? so that we came up with was we'll just teach the class work backwards. from here, we know that we could teach math, we know that we could teach writing as why it was more about the skill sets that we already had and being able to just really nurture those and provide those in a classroom setting. and so why equals for negative and a negative response. we reached out to a lot of prisoners, right guys, we have degrees and all types of but then we also just quickly came to the realization just because you have a degree doesn't mean that you can teach. eventually we begin to fine guys who teach him was something that was a lateral thompson. we set about creating all the syllabus isn't on curriculum and teaching on classes. started changing and shaping people's thinking
5:54 pm
from there the worst rate when i got here and was working on the school floor blue by the teach classroom. and it was the 1st time i ever seen a classroom being taught without an officer and it was prisoners, lived in the prisoners. so when i seen these guys doing and stuff i had to be part of the for half, 2 hours a day, we decided to diversify our board. this way we can attract more students, but also we can understand each other more. so is reaching all corners is present, pardon me, coming on board with this with seeing what you guys were doing and, and wanting to get behind there. i was, i guess, finally an opportunity for me to go and do something productive. that was it provided before that inmates create. we've created a support group for,
5:55 pm
for positivity and the most on life of environments. we've been committed against one another for so long. it literally allows a pretty to run itself as long as they stay separated, we're not to worry about them coming together, becoming knowledgeable, fixing the social issues at the end of the land and them in prison in the 1st place . the more that we begin to educate ourselves, the more empower we become, the less manipulating we can be, the less oppressed we can be. now what we're beginning to realize is that we can get more accomplished together that we can apply the, you know, because it can, it can the sessions at 1st. i really didn't want to leave column by because of the things that we were doing up there that were so powerful and the relationships that we have with administration. i didn't think that we're going to be able to duplicate some of those things. so i thought to stay there in my comfort zone,
5:56 pm
i can see you in a view. ready tomorrow was coming up for his time to leave also. ready the war settings mine are shown, and i went to my review right after that, where i spoke to my counselor and they asked me, where did i want to go when it came time to transfer and they told me shout. so i was happy i seen were to do morning i was coming and he sent word to say good, i'm glad because i mean having some problems with trying to get to pbc store to you . most of the people that live in this county were this prince. this is not a diverse community. the most diversity they have is behind these barbed wire fences. somedays. they have a challenge accepting me. so i can only imagine what the challenges would be around a black christmas called the fear that i here is all you know, the name is the black prisoner's caucus, it's, it's a black gang. we should be fearful of the people who are
5:57 pm
ignorant, short sighted opinions about things like that. having taken the opportunity to participate a and learn really what is going on there. well, from the washing correction center. thank you for being here today. i attended the you summit and i was speechless. i listen to the stories that were being told, the things that i had to say really resonated with me and drew me on the things that we have been through and things that we have been around. i would worry what others would think and would i think i go saw that was my concern. i used to think that not the gang bang was assigned a week. i only intended to be there for a few minutes to kind of check in doing introduction. see what it was about, and when i sat down, i didn't want to get back up. we hope to help young people away making some of the same, but also we hope to be able to reach young people themselves. we believe in them
5:58 pm
and expect them to influence and add to the world. once we solidified the bbc here, we wanted to move on to the next thing and start to teach program because this present as far as prisoners is, is kind of the america of prisons in our state. this is where every person 1st comes to an issue where every person, if you're transferred from one prison to another prison, you have to come through here. so as we in amex, who is going to be here for a while, we see everybody in the state. they have to cross our pass. i see young guys all the time come to here whose life i'm influenced, negative. that's something that i've had to live with, working towards having a positive influence on those generations. now, it gives me a way to undo some of the wrongs that i've done in the past. the
5:59 pm
russian states never is as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community invest. in most all sense and up the assistance of the case on at least 25 must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on rochester day and split the r t spoke neck keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube. the question, did you say steven twist, which is the,
6:00 pm
is not a question of allowing the ukranian regime to strike russia with these weapons. oh no. it is a question of deciding whether or not a native country could be directly involved in the military conflict. a lot of important ones made it totally against allowing key f to use high position, long range weapons against the wall. the cold weather is got down as a polish for an administrator comes, the latest victim of the tourist russian friends died, as he's tricky to receiving, is happy to have the destruction of the north spring quad line from the way we feel about it, whoever they did they did a good job and we now know that the americans had.
