Meek Mill on prison reform: 'Our goal is a million people' via YahooFinance
Rapper Meek Mill entered the national spotlight after he was sent back to prison for violating his parole, triggering a wave of calls to reform the criminal justice system. Now he has decided to use his experiences as a way to make changes to the prison system.
“We all came together as one team … trying to come up with something that’s never been done before and really make positive change,” Mill said. “You have people in your corner and never give up. Don’t be a victim. Make it work for yourself. That’s what I did. I didn’t be a victim of it. I made it work for me, and I’m doing reform today and taking time out of my day to always work on something where I give back to the cause.
In 2017, Mill was sentenced to up to four years in prison for parole violations. He went on to serve five months until receiving bail but not before his case garnered the attention of celebrities and criminal justice reform advocates alike.
