There is a crisis of kids in prison in Pennsylvania, and state officials must address it. Locking kids in cages is not an effective form of addressing harm and creating more community safety. It is a traumatic, dehumanizing, and racist practice that does not help youth take real accountability for their actions and often leads to recidivism. Decades of research proves that holistic, community-based, culturally appropriate supports do work. Young people thrive, heal, and grow when they are cared for, not by being locked up behind bars and treated as if they are irredeemable- excerpt from pennlive.com

Sitting here rewinding through memories stored in my mind. Remembering people I knew who are no longer here, people I know who will never see the streets again. Realizing that both could have been my fate even before reaching adulthood. Remembering all the stupid stuff I've done to myself and others. Remembering how I was able to switch up my ways and actions. Remembering me changing for the better and going in the direction to become a productive member of society many moons ago. Some of the thoughts that are popping up are from so long ago that they almost seem like they are from someone else lifetime. Now I work in the mental health field helping others. Now me and wifey started a non-profit organization (Divine Mindz 215) that we put together to help the youth navigate in a positive direction through this thing we call life. After sitting back rewinding through the memories, saying that I'm grateful is damn near a understatement!!!
