In a brand new interview with ABC News, Meek Mill discusses jail reform and advocates for Eric Riddick, an inmate whom Meek met in jail and who has been incarcerated for over 25 years for against the law that two judges believe he did not commit. Meek has additionally advocated for Riddick on social media.
Discussing the desensitization to mass incarceration, Meek says, “The challenge is really society acting as if it’s normal. It’s not a normal thing.” He continues, “It’s a long process you just got to be dedicated to it… and I’m dedicated to help making change.” He additionally spoke about his canceled visit to the White House: “[T]he only way I would be involved with the White House is if the White House is helping non-violent drug offenders or people who have got large amounts of time for crimes that don’t match the time.”
Regarding his just lately launched Legends of Summer EP and forthcoming new music, Meek says, “It’s still edgy Meek Mill, energy, social forecasting where I come from, the bottom of Philadelphia, the trenches, but it’s still mixed with how I’m speaking on politics of the justice system and the odds against young black and Hispanic Americans.” Find the total story at ABC.
