our first slagle encounter was in 2000 when we met roy at colorado state penitentiary, and he made a big impression. at the time, roy was serving a 12-year sentence for robbery and had a notorious reputation for forcing the prison to perform cell extractions on him because of his frequent refusals to obey orders. nine years later, during our shoot at the lyman correctional facility in eastern colorado, we met an inmate named ray slagle who wasted no time reminding us of our sibling. >> come here, look at this. this is my twin brother right here. you already did a clip on him on msnbc. he was wild as hell. but by then, roy was anything but wild. and, in fact, had recently been released on parole. so we visited him at his parents' home where he had been living. >> are you going to make it this time staying out? >> yeah, i believe i'm going to make it, no doubt. >> roy is optimistic about his future, and so were we. back at lyman, his brother ray was serving a 15-year sentence for assault but was only days away from being released on parole. we looked forward to covering their first reu

no one is going to the penitentiary for smoking marijuana.e many convictions on your record and if it's a possession arrest, it's possession for sale. and, you know what in if you go to to central harlem police community meetings what they say is we want the dealers off the street. you arrest them and they're back there the next day. people understand that the outdoor drug trade is destroying their neighborhoods. as jason points out and i did this study, the drug offenses is not what's driving the black incarceration rate. can you take out all the drug offenses and you still have the same percentage of blacks in prison. this is something that is driven by violent crime and i love mr. rangel's complaint that the government is ignoring inner city problems. they are going nuts about new york city policing because it is managed to bring homicide down in black neighborhoods by 80% by stop and frisk and this is the government finally responding to black crime and saving lives. >> the grievance industry they don't want policing but they want safe st
