- “I gotta do like, I gotta do a long time.”
This is what it’s really like to be a kid in prison.
VICE on HBO returns for its sixth season with “Raised in the System,” an extended special season premiere featuring Emmy-nominated actor Michael Kenneth Williams as he embarks on a personal journey to expose the root of the American mass incarceration crisis: the juvenile justice system.
“Raised in the System” offers a frank and unflinching look at people caught up in the system, exploring why the country’s mass incarceration problem cannot be fixed without first addressing the juvenile justice problem, and investigates community efforts that are resulting in drastic drops in crime and incarceration.

Listen to this people: they are willing to pay 200k a year to keep you locked up but won’t let you borrow 70k to go to school and better yourself
It makes my heart smile seeing the Director of the prison speak positively about the kids, and with hope. He hasn't left them to rot like rabid dogs in cages. He's enriching them, involving them in positive activities to attempt to rehabilitate them. People aren't their crimes. And yet, some people in the comments have already written them off as hopeless criminals or tax liabilities - abandoning their humanity.
Give that Director a Noble Peace Prize. You can see, literally his good heart and sincerity.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but
Life at 15...that's excessive...however I wonder if I would feel the same if I was the victim's family member🤔
I actually went to middle school with Jabar, he was in my earth science class. we knew each other but we never really spoke and i dont ever remember him being a trouble maker, getting suspended or anything, he was seemingly a good guy. so crazy how life takes us all down different roads. keep your head up man.
RIHeaven Michael K. Williams, his heart was with the kids. I loved this series, this was his purpose.

America really need to change about criminal punishment. I was 17 years old charged and persecuted as an adult for a robbery crime that I never thought will be convicted of. Was I wrong 😕
The kid in red in barbershop was very well spoken , such a deep thinker.
Sadly this happened to me. 1997 I was treated as a adult and sent to prison at 16 with a sentence of 18 years. I must say that prison raised me all the way to 34. It was hard and the animalistic mind state can destroy most people let alone a kid in his teens. They make money everyday one of us are locked up
Randomly picked this video. Didn’t expect to see the facility I just left. Life is crazy
So you guys can spend 200000 a year to keep a child behind bars. Even if you split that money in 4 to help the community they wouldn't be there in the first place!
My closest cousin went to prison when we we're 15, im glad i didnt go with him that night,but i wish i could of stopped him the both of us are 22 today i hope he come home one day 😢🖤
It makes me hopeful to have a director like him. He’s the change I want to see in our criminal reform system.
50 years I’d never be ok with that. I’m crying for u shorty
I thought the white guy was the dude from law & order lmao
I started off from Youth Prison, and graduated to actual Prison. Due to the simple fact of the environment I was in. You can still live in great neighborhoods, and suffer from inside of the house by not being able to pay bills or nothing at all. This is a deep situation, I'm 20 now. I was in and out of the system since 15 years old. Some of it was due to my deicscion making, but someone needs to build community centers in a positive light for kids. It goes deeper, and deeper. We need a voice..
I love that they are focusing on helping our children , prison doesnt rehabilitate anyone in a positive way . It only makes people worse , they want to ruin us , and break us and then send us back out into society . If it breaks adults, what do you think it does to children ? Especially charging children as adults is insane to me !!! I pray things change !! Rip Michael
That guy is an actor from “when they see us”
