From what I can tell, Raymond got arrested for doing what needed to be done. It's a shame he was scarred the way he was there.

I like the way Raymond answered that “are you reformed question”

This is incredible, honest and humanizing. Really good entry for those unaware at how draconian the American Judicial system is.

Sad thing is, prison has always been about punishment and isolation(from the rest of society). Not reform. I wish it was different, but unfortunately it will probably be a long time before it is, if it ever is.

I would love to hear more about Raymond's story. Just what we got to hear in this video is insane. Being convicted at 16yo for a crime you didn't commit? Being arrested for existing in a public space? I'm so sorry you had to live through that. A huge fear of mine is being accused of something I never did. Terrifying. 😢

Like Raymond said most ppl are doing longer sentences because they can't afford to fight the crime, nothing about prison is about reform. It's literally modern day slavery. This is not to say some ppl don't belong but for the ones who can't afford to be are doomed when they get out. That needs to change.

Raymond is amazing thank you for speaking up about all of the injustices and TRUTH ❤💯

Yeah... you're not really supposed to date in rehab for this exact reason. Trauma bonding is real and can cause real damage down the road

I love this and the last note that Raymond said. It’s so true. Just because some people are in prison it doesn’t make them less human and not everyone in there is the same stereotype people often think of or label them as. You realize a lot more about it when you’re curious and have family members that have been in the system. The stereotypes can sting. The prison system needs more reform in areas. Sometimes it really does set certain people back and I wonder is the “lesson” ever gotten over when you spend so much of your life after prison stilll paying for something you did a long time ago. Depends on the crime for sure though. I don’t think it’s something as simple as people try to make it and shouldn’t be treated as a blanket concept of “dealing” with it. Some people need real help and mental health advocacy.

I'm pretty sure it depends on the prison whether or not it tells you it's recorded, at least on both ends. They also might've just been making a joke. Many people joke to cope. Like, they obviously weren't in a good place, and even if they knew, they likely didn't care at the time. That's such a weird thing to nitpick about.

I got a felony because a cop put me in a headlock when i had cuffs on till the point i was light headed nd almost passed out when i came back to reality i headbutted his arm BUT I GOT CHARGED 7 cops came and the reason they were there was because my mom called them for a welfare check because i just lost a few friends and i was homeless so i was depressed i never committed a crime before that either. And because i couldn't afford a lawyer my public pretender told me because Wisconsin is a cop state the judge was gonna take there side nd it also dont help im black ( mixed) right then my( white) mom realized my life was gonna be alot harder even tho i didnt even do anything

Not saying neither aren't changed people for the better, it would have been nice to hear the ex-convicts talk about the mental help they received since being released.
