Quotes:
“I still had emptiness inside of me, and that's what addiction was for me. It was just filling that void.”
“This whole idea of incarceration in and of itself is, to me, barbaric and archaic. Like everything about it.”
“It's modern day slavery, the 13th amendment is the abolishment of slavery except when punishable by a crime.”
“The black codes literally started targeting black people for nothing other than essentially being black.”
“Slave labor was such an integral part of the southern economy that without it the economy will collapse.”
