But something very important came out of this case: The fact that exaggerated charges and excessive sentences constitute "cruel and unusual punishment". This is the starting point for the next level of the fight.<BR/><BR/>aka lynn, we started almost 3 years ago looking at Re-entry strategies to help ex-offenders reintegrate into society. There are some psychological barriers also to be addressed, such as "arrested development" (where the mind stops the clock at the point of incarceration and tries to pick back up once released... like stepping out into the future...

His youth was literally stolen from him because of consensual sex. However, in his adulthood, I hope he realizes the importance of respecting a woman. As a young woman should also respect herself.<BR/><BR/>As our young men and women are taken from the system designed to entrap them, I can't help but yearn that there are strong African American mentors out there to assist these young people and help them walk through the narrow gate so that they in return will be able to be role models for others around them.<BR/><BR/>Our black community whether low or middle income needs to return to the state we were before they stole our souls. We need to support one another and become a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.<BR/><BR/>I am so proud of the Afrospear movement, and through it, I see new movements taking up to fight the cause. It reminds me of prophesy being fulfilled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815287532094385757.post-65378355766048428652007-10-29T11:06:00.000-07:002007-10-29T11:06:00.000-07:00Job well done, our work still far from over....Job well done, our work still far from over....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815287532094385757.post-2793660156470376062007-10-27T11:43:00.000-07:002007-10-27T11:43:00.000-07:00Eddie, Great work!
