We are selling these Prisoner Awareness Bracelets for $6.00.00 The money from the sales will be used to fund s series of conferences that will be held in varies schools around the world. Thus far these conferences which incorporate hip hop, with education have been very effective, and we are looking for help to continue this work. We look to bring about awareness of prisoners because it is often forgotten that we are talking about human beings. Put the ranting about murderers and thieves getting what they deserve aside for a moment. Because the fact is, 70% of the prison population are there for non-violent crimes. Mostly for drugs. A large percentage of drug cases, are marijuana. So if you blaze, pay attention. When it comes to mass imprisonment, everyone of us is a suspect. I don..t care who you are, you can be next. I have been on prison blocks with fallen cops, and lawyers. Bringing about full awareness of how easy it is to get caught up in the system, and why it is so hard to escape, opens doors to kids minds. They start to really listen. We then talk about drugs, gangs, and violence. The government isn..t going to do anything. They don..t want anything to change. Because they are getting richer by the minute. Thanks for the support. ..X..
