This was a good message, Monalisa has a lot of courage. I don’t know how they expect people to transfer from the prison system when they’re unable to get jobs. Sad situation.
The idea is dont be a criminal. Choose another career. LOL. You are the sum total of all your choices. I dont have sympathy for criminals. You choose your own way.
@Catherine Meyers - i feel bad for families trying their best and still be short on things - and these do deserve help get back on their feet. But people entirely on welfare for subsistence and have kids to use as EBT paychecks i have no sympathy for. These entitled people are the laziest and least productive part of society. All they are good for is nothing. Favored vote farms of the Democrat party.
@@rabidfarmer9765 I didn't mean anything bad. Just curious if there was help. Is there enough jobs for every working age person? cause if there isn't,what do the rest do?
I think one point always missed by the public at large is how these issues that seem to effect someone else, it always effects you personally in ways you might not realize. As a society I think we would do well to remember the age old " it takes a village" and "we are only as strong as our weakest link". Cliche, yes but truer than ever.
This really helped with my assignment. Its very hard to swallow emotionally knowing thag my brother is doing 16 years for those of you delaing with the same situation im praying for you im also praying for the victims affected by crimes as well. This wonderful lady hit every nail on this subject.❤
This happened to my brother-in-law. He was a drug addict and ended up in prison for 26 yrs for armed robbery. He lost his life. Just joined the justice declaration. I have been looking for something like this for months now! Thank you so much!
There isn't any empathy in this society. People don't realize that crime happens when a people have no other options and addiction isn't a criminal problem but a medical one. Its a self fulfilling prophecy that we create for so many of the public because we don't want to admit what we do as a society is wrong.
What 'empathy' are you talking about? Where are the empath for the victims of the crime? Your line of thought is very harmful to the fundamental of the society.
The prison-industrial-complex swallows up so many people who would otherwise forgo a return to prison, but are so shattered they are institutionalized, dependent individuals. Prison ownership should have NEVER been passed to the public sector, because now the need to feed an equity based system (stock ownership) is rampant, while the parallel industries to keep them ever expanding are flourishing. Why is the US the largest prison system per capita in the world? Greed. The work of Dr. Philip Zimbardo is extremely telling about the dehumanization of prison systems, and his famous experiment with college participants, The Stanford Prison Experiment lives on to attest to it. If things spiral in a mere placebo, what can we expect from real situations? Thank you for this excellent and provocative presentation, and may God bless you all.

Thank you Tedx Talks & Thank you Monalisa for this talk. I'm sorry for your daughter & aplaude you for having the courage to do the 60 Days in show to actually walk that mile in her shoes. Theres no better teacher & eye opener. I have walk many miles in her shoes & yours. best wishes & kindest regards
Excellent discussion on Mass Incarceration. Monalisa Johnson was articulate and well spoken and also very brave to go undercover so she could find out what it was like to walk in her daughter's shoes.
I loved that show 60 days in. Monalisa thank you for such a great talk. You know what I loved the most. The girl that was a police officer and was in that tv show I knew while watching it she would quit her job after seeing what she had been doing to other human beings.
The thing that needs a change is that instead of having inmates sitting around all day, they should be working, doing something productive for society. Not forced, hard labor. Sitting around all day creates recidivism.
i remember seeing you on that show nd thia was a very powerful speech, i personaly been to JAIL, my mom nd dad both been to PRISON, nd my dad is back in PRISON fause acusations...i will sign nd stand with you
ONCE THEY ARE IN THE SYSTEM THEY ARE TAGGED TO THE STATE OF DEPT OF CORRECTIONS AND THIS IS NOW A CORPORATION YEAH I SAID IT IT'S A CORPORATION FOR THE STATE WHERE YOU ARE FROM AND IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO GET YOU THERE...
The fact that they have to pay parol fines and fees when or after they are released and they have to pay for their own drug tests while on parole. How can they pay if they have difficulty finding jobs💁
Thank you Ms. Johnson for your talk! I agree with you, Americans should care. I recently had the opportunity to spend a day in prison at Pelican Bay State Prison with Defy Ventures. Defy Ventures helps currently and formerly incarcerated men, women, and youth develop skills in entrepreneurship, employment, and character development. Life changing for sure. I hope your daughter is using her time wisely.
Some people deserve to be incarcerated. When I was 17 I was nearly kidnapped by a man with blonde hair. Should someone like that be released quickly to the general public?
"1 in 35 people are incarcerated, 2.5 million Americans are behind bars." 2.5 million x 35 = 87.5 million. This would be the total US population, which is incorrect. There are about 323.1 million people living in the USA. So with 2.5 million Americans behind bars. 323.1 million / 2.5 million = 1/129. Therefore, 1 in 129 people are incarcerated. Not 1 in 35. So it turns out she's right, Americans do need to spend more money on education. LOL.
It's funny how nearly every speech I hear about the injustices of the judicial or prison system seldom mentions the victims of the incarcerated.. I guess they're on their own..
great message, but she didn't portion her time well. too much focus on her own story and too little substance when it comes to the systemic problems and the stigma/narrative around incarceration.
Prison. Business as usual. Have a criminal record? A felony? Good luck "reintegrating" back into society and getting gainful employment. How is this helping society?
@@xdmilos1 There are not enough jobs for every single working age person,what do you propose the rest of society do??starve??be homeless??Ooh wait,I believe you got the worldwide solution every country been looking for.Holy shite,well knock me down and call you the new leader of the new order of solutions. LMFAO
So basically, a woman is mad that her daughter got 10 years for armed robbery, volunteered to go to prison, then gave a talk seemingly written by a middleschooler to try to signal that our prison system both costs too much and doesn't do enough for the inmates?
They all deserve to be in jail I don't care for what she is saying. If I was the judge I would send this woman to jail for lying and faking her jail sentence her daughter should be in jail for 30 years and her for 15 years for faking her jail. They don't deserve to walk on the streets
You do the drugs you do the crime its your fault no sympathy needed besides the basic human rights and caring. Its simple math the new reality and 21st century values are creating weak minded losers funny how natural selection changed from physical to mental strength. Stay strong.
what about more than 150 bilion animals slaughtered every year for food.... when we scream for justice do we ever think of them? Personaly i find these gruesom n until we solve these no peace is possible 4us

Charles Dickens it’s true
Shada until it happens to over half of the voters there's no legislation changes such as identity theft, no one cared until it happened to them....

I have an idea to end mass incarceration: stop committing crimes !
The thing that needs a change is that instead of having inmates sitting around all day, they should be working, doing something productive for society. Not forced, hard labor.
Sitting around all day creates recidivism.
Well said
Thx you Monalisa for that message🙏🏾🙌🏾
There is no addiction with Molly, she def was doing something stronger
Nbs😂😂
I can already tell this is going to be a good one !
Her daughter became a college student and had a bright future but one conviction threw it all away
we should care
Ofc we should care, who came up with this title ? Lmfao
So you commit crime and expect a nice reward when you get out? Serves you right whatever is coming to you when you make the wrong choices.
Is there a job for every single person?
Exactly, Rabid!
@@catherinemeyers2995 They should have thought about that before going to prison!
Thank you Monalisa for this incite...I needed hear this now!!!!
God forbid my only child was in prison, I thought I would die! All she was doing was supporting her habit, which will be with her forever.

True. Don't get in the American Incarceration system, be afraid of it. Americans, you guys have a great strategy
I understand and I dont wish it on my worst enemy. Only devils who deserves it.
youare a Strong Mother and Brave
Wow such a strong woman
Wow ! the same with me
It hit me down in my heart ...!
but after all
I say what doesn't kill you make you stronger
then you made it work

What doesn't kill you might just give you trauma or an psycolocical disorder or cost you a limb or ruin your life or...

I think it was a good message overall but signing a declaration before I educate myself doesn't sit right with me
what an amazing person
This is an important issue but hard to take seriously when she plays a literal advertisement for a TV show.
Some people deserve to be incarcerated. When I was 17 I was nearly kidnapped by a man with blonde hair. Should someone like that be released quickly to the general public?
thanks
I mean she's right about most things but her argumentation is pretty bad. She seems compassionate but is by no means an expert on the topic.
read the description...she was on “60 days in” (TV show on A&E that is pretty legit)
I thought the same thing......it is def an issue that needs addressing and reform.....but her presentation wasnt very well organized nor informative
I hate that 3 types of people in jail statement. It makes it sounds like 1/3 1/3 1/3. I'm sure it's far from the fact
أين الترجمة
Molly aka Ecstasy aka
MDMA aka 3,4 methylenedioxy methamphetamine.
The amphetamine part likely causes the dependancy.
Paul Neilson thx
Paul Neilson it's very very low on the dependency scale
There are many prisoners that are Mentality ill and some are undiagnosed too.
This is Americas greatest problem
Virginia Brown, please let me know what else can be viewed as big as this. Only so I can understand.
Please...
You're doing a good job

2.5 million x 35 = 87.5 million. This would be the total US population, which is incorrect.

So with 2.5 million Americans behind bars. 323.1 million / 2.5 million = 1/129.
Therefore, 1 in 129 people are incarcerated. Not 1 in 35.
So it turns out she's right, Americans do need to spend more money on education. LOL.
By incarcerated they meant jail/parole/bail
2.3 million incarcerated 4.5 million parole/probation
Pourquoi vous ne sous titré pas
Arabic subtitle ?!!!!?? Please
I watched her on 60 days in.....good stuff hope everyone watches
Committing armed robbery for MDMA?! At least pick a proper drug to ruin your life with.
I wonder what her daughter did?
Two-Face armed robbery

Yes. Human rights! Animal rights too!!! Exactly. Use $$$$ to help the world and animals. Stop killing!
Wow......
It's funny how nearly every speech I hear about the injustices of the judicial or prison system seldom mentions the victims of the incarcerated.. I guess they're on their own..
A great portion of the people in jails are in there for non violent charges, such as drug possession.
Sounds like you would be a fan of restorative justice. It's actually distinct from retributive justice.
Not a real Einstein quote
Miss patty!!!
It's adorable
great message, but she didn't portion her time well. too much focus on her own story and too little substance when it comes to the systemic problems and the stigma/narrative around incarceration.
Prison. Business as usual. Have a criminal record? A felony? Good luck "reintegrating" back into society and getting gainful employment.
How is this helping society?
Doesn't help at all.
Government making a great amount of money from inmate labour so they don't want to help with reintegration
Then stop doing crimes. Problem solved.
@@xdmilos1 There are not enough jobs for every single working age person,what do you propose the rest of society do??starve??be homeless??Ooh wait,I believe you got the worldwide solution every country been looking for.Holy shite,well knock me down and call you the new leader of the new order of solutions.
LMFAO
No real new ideas here... But it's still an issue that does need to be dealt with.
Wow.
If were up to me, i will fry them all.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!
The time set for most petty crimes is too long and the time spent is useless in turning people into functioning citizens.
In a prison that makes people completely unable to function on the outside...the US prison system is a human rights violation.
pretty sure they dont give you a choice....
So basically, a woman is mad that her daughter got 10 years for armed robbery, volunteered to go to prison, then gave a talk seemingly written by a middleschooler to try to signal that our prison system both costs too much and doesn't do enough for the inmates?
That's an interesting background. It has interlocking pieces to form a wall.
Should not use street names for the drug. I don't know what molly is, in my days it was extasy.
Saw wil Molly is MDMA. Well supposes to be. You don't know what you're getting now a days
Chicken Strips thx
That girl was vaping in jail lol.
So sad. 😔
If you can`t do the time don`t do the crime.
Nice!
