As @MeekMill celebrates the end of a long legal saga, we applaud him for using his case to bring attention to the broken probation/parole system. His case shows that what's meant as alternative to incarceration often acts as a feeder to prison. @REFORM #Justice4Millions #FreeMeek
@MeekMill @REFORM A quarter of all state prison admissions in America are the result of technical violations to #probation and #parole, such as missed paperwork or a failed drug test, according to @CSGJC
This is not what the system was intended for. @REFORM @MeekMill
@MeekMill @REFORM @CSGJC We want to see the number of people on probation/parole reduced & the focus on promoting rehabilitation and success for individuals/communities.

I’m a Jay-Z fan. Been one forever. But that doesn’t prevent me from saying that this social justice partnership he’s doing w/ the NFL was built on the back of Colin Kaepernick. If Kap doesn’t kneel/get blackballed, there’s no inroads for any of this. And it’s weak as sh*t.
The two people that stand to benefit the most out of this from an optics standpoint are Bob Kraft and Roger Goodell. They get to use an icon like Jay to pretend like their turning over a new leaf. Kraft flying Meek around in his PJ and sh*t... I knew something was weird.
The irony of Kap protesting for equal rights and empowerment. Meek being the poster boy for racial bias part of that. Meek getting locked up for riding a dirt bike on probation is part of that. Meek finally getting a new trial *ALSO* part of that. C’mon son.
