In US news and current events today, America locks up more people than any country in the world, and it disproportionately impacts people of color. Omar Epps explains how our broken political system is making the problem worse, and what we can do right now to fix it.
In the new short film Unbreaking America: Justice for Sale, Omar Epps and Represent.Us bring you a sobering look at the racial disparities that exist in the for profit prison space, and why Black people and people of color are incarcerated at wildly disproportionate rates. In the film, Represent Us confronts the massive amounts of lobbying money paid to people in power that ensure the police to prison pipeline remains full, even if it means ruined lives and devastated communities. The killings of George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, and countless other Black people and people of color have shined a harsh light on police brutality, police violence, and police racism, but the police are only part of the problem. Until we reckon with the systemic problem of incarceration and prisons, whether its through prison reform or abolish prisons entirely, it's clear that there is much that still needs to be fixed in our broken criminal justice system.

Never stop being educated my black brothers and sisters I'm latino and I have a beautiful black woman in my life and I protect her with everything I have
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Get money out of politics.. stop for profit lobbying.
I'm stunned that this practice is legal in the United States.
It beggars belief.
As soon as we ban unions from donating to political campaigns
True that. People need to wake up in the states.
Great video.👏👏👏
Another robot
Excellent!!
Real talk
This should be viral!
Not only does policing need to change, but the entire criminal justice system must be reformed to improve communities rather than bring them down
Anyone that wants a detailed look at this should read “The New Jim Crowe”
While you're at it, might want to look up 'Klanbake' and the 1924 Democrat convention.
Yes ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
No more
Now YOU got the juice!
I am so for this! I've always have felt that the government and the system in place has worked against the people in some way shape or form.
Listening to documentaries I see all races are not spared, not just minorities.
Yep, it's the poor and mentally ill too.
this is america
I thank you to Desmond. Your hard work helped me get my rights restored. I broke the law when I was 18. I stole a car stereo I was wrong I did my time. I shouldn't have to suffer for the rest of my life. Thank you for what you've done and what you're doing.
We really don't know each other at all. Culturally. I learned black families are very, very tight with each other. The food is awesome, but different. It's the differences we need to bridge. Only then can we truly heal. My friend introduced me to her life after I had broken both my ankles and was pitiful. She saved me. I love her so much. Black is truly beautiful. Black lives matter to me! Find bridges people. Love is free.
Omar Epps got Juice!
✊🏻✊🏿✊🏽✊✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽✊✊🏾
👍🏾 great presentation ‼️
People are not taking this situation serious. They think it's a joke, at least until it happens to them or someone they care about.
VOTE BLUE---VOTE BLUE--VOTE BLUE !!!!!!!
Sure, vote Joe Biden, part of the problem *FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS!* Way to push for more racism, you bigot!
@@thnksno and stop calling them black
As long as I dont see one party or the other benefit from this, you have my support. Neither party can have a solution when the system itself is broken. Thank you Omar and Desmond for putting this together.
Give this man the power to help fix the American society, this man is the has the answers!! Who a grees with me??
So the criminal justice system is broken and is being reformed. What is the culture that refuses to "snitch" or help police find the criminals you know, who are walking the streets. You expect the police to change, when will you change? Hold people accountable on both sides not just the cops.
Kim, excellent information and I'm down.
Ironically, I am blessed to have a job on the executive staff in Maryland Department of Public Safety as the CAO.
I've been advocating for change and this is timely.
Water is free in prison? Hmm...
Being the channel I’m watching, I was apprehensive. But this was actually worth listening to.
Amen thank u so much for sharing this information I am still trying to find out how to you
Two words. SHARE THIS.
Well said
Righteous!!!
Wow, very powerful!
I just join, and RVSP...Thanks Omar, I will do whatever it takes
Make Officer Norman Chief of Police of America and youll see drastic changes. Watch his videos
And there is the truth
Trump signed a bill on police reform which includes prohibiting the use of choke holds against the suspect so we got that going at least
I was kinda expecting Dr. House to walk around at some point
That’s the truth if I’ve ever heard it!!
All This Because WE are COMING INTO KNOWLEDGE of OUR TRUE IDENTITY
Motherf*cking 🎤 mic drop
❤💛💚✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
PLEASE share this with everyone!
🤣I CAN'T BREATH🤣
Interesting
...to be clear, we’re not all in this together. And we never were
Hold elected representative accountable to the people that's the only way if not say goodbye.
Lobbying should be illegal
Didn’t realize that was him in the thumbnail
It's all about the money's. We don't have a Government for the people's. Money should be taking out of politics.
America is broken.
👍
THE COMMON WEALTH!! FALLOUT 4 BABYYYY
The prison system is not boken, it is working as it supose to do
🙏❤️✌️
Toralky broken for every 1.
I like this but I want a third party Named.
so many good truths unknown to far to many. But why lie about woman getting locked up. iv known a few that did, none got sentenced like a man would, all far more lenient than any man would have gotten.
Yep.
Ugly.
yes finally some said it, nancy and mitch are the establishment and they are the villain, we need to replace them and replace their allies.
YOU. are their properties. Investment and all. TIME up people. WAKE UP
Please don't call it "broken" that's too clean and neat. Call it what it is, raciest.Pure and simple
It's definitely racist. But not just racist. It's also classist.
The rich and the very rich use money to buy off our politicians, and the rest of us don't matter so much.
And you're right, it's not broken. It was made like this on purpose.
Yup, and Democrat run strongholds like Illinois, NY and California are the most racist.
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
President Trump 2020, boycott Democrats/Left/Press/China/WHO/UN/AOC & Michigan Govenor.
@Feargal Mcferrin Dude don't waste your time with idiots online. Stay focused.
LOL......
Haha you are so pathetic I love to see you whining all over the videos of this channel without giving any valid argument.
Just don't be a criminal
@Feargal Mcferrin I can't understand you. You must not of been a victim of crime but the one who commits them. Make me understand why it is so hard to not do "bad" things.
There are vast amount of cases of mistaken identities and false imprisonment - that is why the previous individual was surprised you saw it so simply
id really like to know in what ways this man has spoken up for the black race since now... because.. 🙄
