yusef salaam joins us now. thank you for being with us. yusef: it's a pleasure to be here with you. geoff: when you reflect on the arc of your life from rikers island where you were wrongfully imprisoned, now likely headed to city hall as a city councilman how does it strike you? yusef: it strikes me as the ultimate justice. in faith communities, they always talk about when god restores you, you get back 100 times what was taken and the beautiful thing about my story is that we can use it as really almost like a case study, a litmus test. the thing that teaches us that we have to hold onto faith because we will never, never, never be misled by it. geoff: how will your experience influence your approach to crime and policing and to social justice? yusef: since justice ran over me, many people would imagine i would have a very adverse reaction to police departments and police officers in general, really systemic issues and the great thing about my story is that i have met so many righteous actors in those spaces. so i am not necessarily persuaded by one polarization of the experience

i came home seven years later. >> yusef salaam joins us now. sir, good to see you. congratulations on the primary win. >> thank you. >> public service and public office. when did this become a goal? when did it become a dream? >> my goodness, i think early on when i first read scripture about a prophet named joseph, who i'm named after, i said is it possible? of course i was 16 at the time, and i kind of buried it and said, you know, maybe. kept on trying to make sure that i didn't succumb to the pressure of what prison was trying to turn me into, which was a monster. of course years later i'm looking back at that journey, the journey i've come to, and saying to myself, wow. every single piece, the good, the bad, the ugly has prepared me for this moment right now. >> you refer to scripture and what it tells us about what joseph endured so similar to the path you endured. then you've also said god gives us permission to live life. can you speak to how your faith has guided you to this moment and how it will guide you leading the city? >> absolutely. i was listening t
