Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Y'allways good where it just breaks tothe faith man from the Gregy State Prisons
in this episode, I wanna talkabout something a little bit different because we
all know that people who are inprison are human beings. Of course we
have some animals, but overall,prisons are human beings, and like anyone
else in the real world, wewanna feel love. Some prisons wanna be

(00:22):
in love, and some prisons wannashow love to a woman, to their
kids, to their family, etcetera, etcetera. But like everything else in
New Drigid State Prison, the administrationhas become an obstacle. The prison guards
has become an obstacle. Now theprison officials are finding new ways to stop

(00:42):
families from visiting their loved ones.That's incarcerating when the prisoners submits to visit
them us. Now to add anew person that's planning to come visit them,
the prison officials is saying that thatperson is on somebody's else list,
So they're denying them or they not, they're preventing them from coming to visit

(01:03):
now. They don't care if theother person's in a different prison in New
Jersey, it doesn't matter. Theywill allow a person to drive all the
way into the prison just to saythat they are on somebody else's list and
they can't come in. Now,the crazy part of all that they say
is sometimes they lie. If theyhave an issue with a prisoner and he

(01:23):
has family trying to come visit,the officers would turn him away saying that
they are own somebody else's list.We have no proof, we have no
way to check it out. Theysay that that their mayage system in their
day of debase that that person ison somebody else's list. Now, I
have a bunkie that tried to puteight year old son on his visit on
me and they told him his sonis on somebody else's list, which was

(01:46):
a lie because guess what he hadan officer, another officer who was a
superviser. He went into the system, he checked the system, he put
his son's name in the system.He found out that it was a lie,
His son was not on somebody else. Didn't listen. So why is
prison's family being turned away? Thisis a million dollar question. While prisoner's

(02:07):
family being turned away, New DrekaState Prison administration, like the avatide to
the pubidents that they all working andkeep family found strong on one hand,
then on the other hand, theyturned away prisoner's family who had took the
vision them for stupid reasons. NowI remember prison's family came to New Jersey
from Florida and another one came allthe way from California and they were turned

(02:29):
away for being one minute late.That's crazy one minute. So obviously New
Jersey State prison administration is lying tothe public once again. But the issue
is a little deeper than that.Prisons are being denied the right to reproduce.
A New Jersey, if the prisonergets married, he's not allowed to
consummate the marriage or have kids withhis wife or her husband. Now,

(02:53):
marriage is a constitutional right, andin most religious a marriage is not complete
until it's consummated. States like Californiaallow family visits for that. Married couples
can contemate the marriage and have kidsif God wills for that to happen,
but not in New Jersey. NewJersey is basically violating prisoner's right to marry
an officially and officially complete the marriagewith consummation. Now, everybody want to

(03:21):
be loved, everybody wants to feelthat. Just because the prison was convicted,
that does not mean his rights toreproduce should be taken away. That
doesn't mean his ability to see hisfamily should be taken away, regardless if
they are or or not on anotherprisoner's list. Because let's be honest,
when is this policy prevented Like it'sit's not a security risk, it's nothing

(03:46):
preventing him from successfully implementing it intothe everyday life of New Jersey State prison.
But all he's doing is causing moreprower, which is making life harder
for people who already had everything takenaway. So for the mother that doesn't
have any grandkids because their child isbeing denied the rights to reproduce, for

(04:12):
the right to get married, layingNew Jersey State prisons because the reality is
we have idiots running the steam andwe have idiots running the prisons as well.
They cause the more problems, they'remaking life easier. So something easily
changing with drill
