Deserves a chance yeah so there was no absolutely youd be sure you know stayed out there forever wishing you know you know they. Created in and then. I can see later on. Many Louisiana Residents have been to prison. They are there for two and a half yes frank was in custody for a robbery he was involved in a series of anyone on the street even in front of their own house is under suspicion really really did they all run the risk of being checked yeah and they go to what sound right you know you know they dont get no respect. Hes talking about the police who patrol the area at walking pace. That love. To call it was video of people in the street. That would be seen at a cost is a lot of video of people in the street so yes there were shooting new video and i. Got shot of my god. I was picked up.

This. Franks is not an exceptional story. Louisiana was late to abolish slavery but africanamericans still had to fight for their rights. A cute guy the toll cute guy here. It was me and one nine hundred sixty three that was me. Fifty four years ago. That was me. I was one of them who led to demonstrations and it was met by people who would guns in and all of the other stuff that people had in the middle sixtys to stop africanamerican kids from demonstrating from seeking now dance civil rights. After years of political activity Calvin Johnson became the first black judge in louisiana. Hes often dealt with sheriffs. They all words i can use to describe what i feel about that. But then you would have to cut those words out of this interview. Because leave three in did the way to keep people in slave was to use the Justice System and then fix laws such that the newly freed people. Phone listenings would be put back in jail and then be forced to go back on the plantations and work is not dead they are. A mean people of a people its its that they are as much a a for lack of a better word victim of the system as the people who are in the jails of victims of the system because we are a poor state and we have used all kinds of means a ways to to fund our sales so the sheriff in those places all using that as a means to fund. The sheriffs self and his and was needs to operate when hes using it for that purpose and the louisiana law the third time he did one of those things i just described you could go to jail for life. I would not do. That. Steve exemplifies the absurdity of the system in two thousand and seven he was arrested for driving under the influence in prison he learned that he was a chevy positive. Didnt want to spend the money i dont. Own their jobs. Because i was only inmate those who want to go the hospital. May feel like i was very poor. Yet when i was almost dead they they sent me if they would say me the hospital sooner. Then that. The infection. They would sell my hair would probably wouldnt even be in there my spinal fluid build up my spine or calm got up from my brain cavity pushed. Brain open was pushing forward on the trying to push it through my face. As i reminded it was about to pop out of the sockets with a piece of the optic nerve on the backside permanently damaged. It was in the hospital and they tell me that i was a job the positive. Told when they must have somebody elses records confused with mine because im not positive. Yes you are. Im. Here. For you to talk about everything. No three no come on last and. Only me and. Steve returns to prison but his treatments didnt begin until months later thanks to social workers like Darren Stanley and prisoners can hope for medical care as a source were going to figure out how to get that medication since you know blister pack says they they will do a chevy medication in a blister pack. According to the sheriffs twenty four dollars per prisoner per day isnt enough to pay for hiv treatment louisiana was very odd compared to the other states it was very clear that we had a very big problem with our parish and city jails providing h.

The old prison of new orleans is finally in the past it was one of the was just in the united states. The new prisoner looks like an office building. Even inside its very different. There are ideas on parking to. Hybrid things in bleeding disorder and Kidney Disease no maam have you ever been exposed to. Any venereal. Disease that i am on entirely from our. Health questionnaire is a brand new concept in louisiana prisons. The prison is proud of it but the procedure is still in its trial phase. Its not the sheriff but a prison spokesman who receives us. Well the budget has changed it used to be based on what we called a per d. M. Meaning that we would receive a certain amount from the city which supplies our budgie for the state when we had stayed in maids of so many dollars per inmate. That system we no longer use we receive a budget just like many other agencies too and so we must operate within that budget should you. Take care of all of our operations here under the oath system there was an incentive to have more inmates because the more you have the more money get. Outdated and inhumane. An unambiguous indictment of the states other prisons. With its new system new orleans wants to set a positive example but with a creative president in a state with established traditions independent parishes and old awful sheriffs.
