Just a fun guy, man. I mean, middle school, we was into dancing. We're just about as old as hip-hop, right? So when the break dancing and the graffiti first came out, you know, this was the stuff that we did. We had basement parties. We would dance. I mean, it was just a fun time.
So I could travel the blocks and go around and cut hair. And one time I came on the medical block.
Somebody could be banging on the door. Hey, man, shut up. Be quiet. He could be having a medical crisis right now.
And he was back there. And I was like, what the... It was Jamal.
I'd seen the condition that he was in, you know, and I knew something was wrong. The hair wasn't being taken care of. The weight was down. You could just see, like, you know, it just wasn't him.
It was always a joy just to see him and talk with him. And he would always bring up something different. Remember this? You know, remember, I'm like, wow, man, this guy is a walking almanac. He never forgot anything. You know, on for on, he could remember everything.
And where does he end up? Dauphin County Prison. Why is he in prison? That's where I say there's a difference between treatment and punishment. You stick him in a place that doesn't have the adequate resources... handle that level of illness.
That's not him trying to run over people or stuff like that. This had to be a time where he wasn't on his medication.
You had some good officers, and then you had some of the ones that were just horrible. And there was a culture there. If you did something on one shift, the next shift could come in, and it could get physical quick. When I got disrespectful to a guard, they would come in with man beaters.
Those are the gloves, the black gloves they would put on and take us in the gym, and it would get real physical there. They would put hands on us, basically.
Lamont said, hey, you know, he has mental health issues. He may not be on his medication, so just make sure that the prison is aware of that.
You couldn't tell someone that's done time there that these things weren't happening. It was purposely for me to be there. Everybody else didn't have that experience. I came in with plenty of vigor. I wanted answers, you know, and I wanted the conditions to change.
It was just a total reaction, like, oh my goodness, what in the world? Now maybe three or four people may have passed in a short period of time. So I'm like, what is going on in this prison, you know, that so many people are passing away here?
So what really helped is the reporting, the investigative reporting that you were doing. I was just sharing every article and I was like, look, this is much deeper because we couldn't find out some of the things that you couldn't.
