We need new blood in the ranks of our leadership and we need new voices tro get the word out to the people.

A WALK FOR CHANGE (PRISON REFORM, YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, JOBS & JUSTICE)

Submitted by rickevans on Fri, 04/08/2011 - 8:58pm

 I am deeply concerned about the positions of our young men in society and the conditions of our justice system. Having recently been incarcerated for the first time in forty-five years, I have acknowledged how detrimental certain behaviors can be to our children and they must be changed.
