It's Juneteenth but I just found out my brother was denied release today. Black man, six years for a non-violent crime, and EVERY variable must be weighed except the one about them putting him in jail with adults when he was 16. Who pays for that. #AbolishPrisons
I'm trying to imagine the emotional and psychological torture of being denied on the day you thought you were being released, of applying 30 days later, knowing a yes can still become a no. Who can survive this, and if they do, to become what. #AbolishPrisons
This isn't his first stint. He's in his 30s now. And it took an embarrassingly long time for me to realize who started this cycle. Then one day I say his 1st mug shot and I fucking broke. He was a baby. And folk make millions off weed now. But where's my brother. #AbolishPrisons
