-[child squeals]
-[chattering continues]
5
00:00:44,044 --> 00:00:47,381
Well, shit,
so I was trying to figure out
somewhere to put the camera.
6
00:00:48,174 --> 00:00:49,383
Hold on a minute.
7
00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:54,221
Today is, um, July 23rd.
8
00:00:54,305 --> 00:00:55,681
[baby cooing]
9
00:00:55,765 --> 00:00:56,849
And, uh...
10
00:00:58,601 --> 00:01:02,480
a lot of things have changed
since the beginning
of this tape.
11
00:01:04,523 --> 00:01:07,568
Uh, my husband is in jail.
12
00:01:07,651 --> 00:01:10,070
I’ve been out now
a week and a day...
13
00:01:11,655 --> 00:01:14,992
after being locked up,
uh, since May 24th.
14
00:01:16,368 --> 00:01:21,040
But I know that despite
how grim my circumstances
may look right now,
15
00:01:21,123 --> 00:01:22,917
everything is gonna be okay.
16
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,418
We’ll come back.
17
00:01:24,502 --> 00:01:27,087
[boy] A motorcycle.
18
00:01:27,171 --> 00:01:29,590
We’ll come back.
19
00:01:29,673 --> 00:01:31,217
Stronger than before.
20
00:01:32,218 --> 00:01:33,636
I’m pregnant with twins.
21
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:36,305
Let me get a shot
of the twins.
22
00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:37,640
Look there.
23
00:01:38,808 --> 00:01:41,435
That’s the twins at 22 weeks.
24
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:44,396
Move. Laurence,
if you do not move...
25
00:01:58,702 --> 00:02:00,079
[woman] Good morning...
26
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:02,957
six-year-old boy.
27
00:02:04,041 --> 00:02:06,126
Good morning.
28
00:02:07,044 --> 00:02:09,588
Today your first day
of school, buddy.
29
00:02:09,672 --> 00:02:13,676
Hey. Hey. Hey.
30
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:15,511
Good morning, Robert.
31
00:02:15,594 --> 00:02:17,555
Today is August 24,
32
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:19,473
Remington’s first day
of kindergarten.
33
00:02:19,557 --> 00:02:21,976
What you gonna do
in kindergarten, Rem?
34
00:02:22,059 --> 00:02:23,269
[Remington]
Do my alphabets,
35
00:02:23,352 --> 00:02:25,896
then find me
all the girlfriends I want.
36
00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:27,857
[woman laughing]
37
00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:29,942
[crying]
38
00:02:35,656 --> 00:02:37,575
Good morning, baby.
39
00:02:39,034 --> 00:02:41,787
You can hear the ice falling.
40
00:02:42,454 --> 00:02:45,666
And there are those ding-dongs
in the cold.
41
00:02:45,749 --> 00:02:47,960
Hey, Ding-a-ling Two and One.
42
00:02:48,043 --> 00:02:49,920
Hey. Hey!
43
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:52,298
It’s cold.
44
00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:54,383
-[squealing, laughter]
-[woman laughing]
45
00:02:54,466 --> 00:02:55,718
Go, Laurence!
46
00:03:06,562 --> 00:03:10,482
-[screaming, chattering]
-[woman] It’s crazy, babe!
47
00:03:12,484 --> 00:03:14,570
Oh, my goodness.
How much is that...
48
00:03:14,653 --> 00:03:16,363
[laughing]
49
00:03:16,447 --> 00:03:17,531
[woman] Okay.
50
00:03:20,576 --> 00:03:23,495
-Planning on getting
married anytime soon?
-[woman] I am married.
51
00:03:23,579 --> 00:03:25,539
Are you?
Mm-hmm.
To Remington’s father.
52
00:03:25,623 --> 00:03:26,957
When?
53
00:03:27,041 --> 00:03:29,543
We’ve been married
a year and a half now.
54
00:03:30,586 --> 00:03:32,212
Almost a year and a half.
55
00:03:32,296 --> 00:03:33,839
Where is he?
56
00:03:33,923 --> 00:03:37,092
Uh, he’s-- he’s, uh,
out of town now.
57
00:03:39,053 --> 00:03:41,096
And you know what,
I don’t want you up there
58
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:43,265
goofing off with
them other boys, okay?
59
00:03:43,349 --> 00:03:45,059
Mm-hmm.
You pay attention.
60
00:03:45,142 --> 00:03:48,771
Pay attention.
Center. Pay attention.
61
00:03:48,854 --> 00:03:50,272
That’s your objective
for today.
62
00:03:50,356 --> 00:03:51,982
[girl] Uh-huh.
Me and Jared don’t run.
63
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:53,609
[laughing]
64
00:03:55,986 --> 00:03:57,780
Where my head at, Remington?
65
00:03:57,863 --> 00:03:59,323
[Remington] There it is.
66
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:01,408
Boy, you better grow up
to be a man.
67
00:04:01,492 --> 00:04:02,910
With your cute self.
68
00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:06,914
[boy] Well, Dad,
this is the fall season.
69
00:04:06,997 --> 00:04:08,832
[woman] Trees
starting to turn colors.
70
00:04:08,916 --> 00:04:11,126
Today is October 18.
71
00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:13,754
[boy] October 18
is today’s date.
72
00:04:16,006 --> 00:04:17,925
I just want to show you
these houses, Dad.
73
00:04:18,008 --> 00:04:19,677
[woman]
See which one we gonna get.
74
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,971
[boy 1] Yeah,
see which one we gonna get.
75
00:04:22,054 --> 00:04:24,682
[woman] Damn, they nice.
They close together.
76
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:31,981
So, Pops, this is me.
This is myself.
77
00:04:32,064 --> 00:04:33,399
Back to you.
78
00:04:37,403 --> 00:04:39,029
It’s a beautiful day
today, baby.
79
00:04:39,113 --> 00:04:40,823
I wish you could
enjoy it with me.
80
00:04:41,407 --> 00:04:44,076
My passenger seat is vacant.
81
00:04:44,159 --> 00:04:45,494
[chuckles]
82
00:04:46,704 --> 00:04:50,666
Nigga, and just think,
I met your ass when I was 16.
83
00:04:51,875 --> 00:04:54,545
Sixteen years old.
84
00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:55,921
[chuckles]
85
00:04:57,089 --> 00:04:59,550
Always knew there was
something about you.
86
00:05:00,426 --> 00:05:02,386
Ooh, boy,
I love you, Robert.
87
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:04,596
I love me some Robert.
[chuckles]
88
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:08,809
Girl, you got
some kind of story.
89
00:05:09,935 --> 00:05:12,688
Do you see this smile, Robert?
90
00:05:13,605 --> 00:05:17,609
Do you know how hard I’m gonna
be smiling when you come home?
91
00:05:19,153 --> 00:05:22,406
Nigga, oh... [laughs]
92
00:05:22,489 --> 00:05:26,035
Nigga-- What? Smiling?
93
00:05:26,118 --> 00:05:29,955
Me and all my children
are probably gonna walk
around like this all day.
94
00:05:30,039 --> 00:05:33,250
Nigga’s jaw’s gonna be
hurtin’ all the time.
95
00:05:35,294 --> 00:05:36,920
Say what?
96
00:05:37,421 --> 00:05:39,423
Sibil Fox did what?
97
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:42,426
[sighs]
98
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:44,386
I feel like a champion.
99
00:05:51,810 --> 00:05:53,520
Mm, I like.
100
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:57,107
They call it the Big Easy,
but truth be told,
101
00:05:57,191 --> 00:05:59,651
without proper transportation,
she can--
102
00:05:59,735 --> 00:06:01,653
You know, as we’re saying
"proper transportation,"
103
00:06:01,737 --> 00:06:05,365
we’re zooming out, and then,
"She can be hard as hell."
Right.
104
00:06:05,449 --> 00:06:08,494
And, um--
And then coming back to me
105
00:06:08,577 --> 00:06:11,121
when I’m introducing
myself, um--
106
00:06:11,205 --> 00:06:13,332
Peace and love, family.
I’m Fox Rich.
107
00:06:13,415 --> 00:06:17,586
And as the wife
and mother of six boys, um...
108
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:21,507
I know the importance
of transportation.
109
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:24,259
As a wife and mother
of six boys...
110
00:06:25,552 --> 00:06:27,846
I appreciate
the opportunity to serve
111
00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:31,809
as your personal auto buyer
at Rich Motors of New Orleans.
Cool.
112
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:34,436
I know what it means to need
proper transportation
113
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,647
for you and your family
to get around in.
114
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:38,732
Listen, truth be told,
115
00:06:38,816 --> 00:06:41,527
a car is more important
than a house, if you ask me.
116
00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:43,862
’Cause-- [chuckles]
you can sleep in your car,
117
00:06:43,946 --> 00:06:46,406
but, baby, you can’t drive
your house around.
118
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:49,201
[chuckles]
Um, so that’s-- that’s it.
119
00:06:49,284 --> 00:06:51,161
Cool. So I think
what we’ll do is,
120
00:06:51,245 --> 00:06:53,330
we’ll get a shot of you
saying all of that.
121
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,124
Okay.
And then we’ll also do--
122
00:06:55,207 --> 00:06:57,126
And then you can even
look over my shoulder
123
00:06:57,209 --> 00:07:00,129
and we can kind of do
the other stuff together
and make sure that’s right.
124
00:07:00,212 --> 00:07:01,588
We can time it out--
125
00:07:01,672 --> 00:07:03,841
What I wanted to do, too,
was just be able to see
126
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:06,969
what I look like, hair-wise,
lip-gloss-wise, um--
127
00:07:07,052 --> 00:07:08,554
Yeah, sure,
we can do that, too.
128
00:07:08,637 --> 00:07:10,722
And see what the shot
looks like real quick.
129
00:07:10,806 --> 00:07:12,850
Yeah. It’s gonna
take me a second.
130
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:15,060
We’re just gonna get
the lights right for you.
Okay.
131
00:07:15,144 --> 00:07:18,063
So I’m just gonna
take a look at what
we’re working with here.
132
00:07:19,356 --> 00:07:23,026
They may call her the Big Easy,
but truth be told,
133
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:25,737
being in New Orleans
without transportation
134
00:07:25,821 --> 00:07:27,614
can be hard as hell.
135
00:07:30,159 --> 00:07:32,369
Awesome.
I think I need to roll
my shoulders back.
136
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:34,329
Let’s try it again.
All right,
do it one more time.
137
00:07:34,413 --> 00:07:36,206
Or as many times
as you need, really.
Mm-hmm.
138
00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:37,958
Step out
just a little more.
139
00:07:51,889 --> 00:07:54,975
[Sibil] I was born
Sibil Verdette Fox
140
00:07:55,058 --> 00:07:58,103
on August 18, 1971.
141
00:08:03,609 --> 00:08:05,861
My mother was an educator,
and my grandmother
142
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:09,156
was the housekeeper
for Hank Williams’ mother.
143
00:08:19,583 --> 00:08:23,754
I came from a people
who had a strong desire
to have something,
144
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:26,673
to make something
out of ourselves.
145
00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:31,261
[lively chattering]
146
00:08:31,345 --> 00:08:33,639
My mother...
147
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:37,809
she taught me
from a very young age
148
00:08:37,893 --> 00:08:40,354
that the American Dream
was real.
149
00:08:42,231 --> 00:08:47,361
And she would say, "Sibil,
you can make it if you try."
150
00:08:47,444 --> 00:08:49,071
[cheering, applause]
151
00:08:49,154 --> 00:08:50,948
And so, here I was,
152
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:52,741
a young girl
from the urban city,
153
00:08:52,824 --> 00:08:57,829
and I was determined to try.
154
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:08,590
There’s the Rich family.
What you think about that?
155
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:17,057
I met my husband Robert
when I was 16 years old.
156
00:09:18,225 --> 00:09:20,894
I had married
my high school sweetheart.
157
00:09:22,187 --> 00:09:24,147
We had purchased
our first home,
158
00:09:24,231 --> 00:09:27,442
put the deposit down
on our first business.
159
00:09:29,653 --> 00:09:32,489
We were about to blow up.
160
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,241
[Sibil chuckling]
161
00:09:34,324 --> 00:09:36,702
[Sibil] Getting close
to Aunt Sandra’s house.
162
00:09:36,785 --> 00:09:40,122
And little does she know
what’s coming. [laughs]
163
00:09:40,205 --> 00:09:41,415
[boy] Mama.
164
00:09:41,498 --> 00:09:44,501
There they go right there.
[laughing]
165
00:09:50,924 --> 00:09:54,386
-[excited chattering]
-[Sibil laughing]
166
00:09:54,469 --> 00:09:57,347
Ah, Sibil!
167
00:09:57,431 --> 00:09:59,266
[laughter,
excited chattering]
168
00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:00,809
[Sibil] Surprise!
169
00:10:00,892 --> 00:10:02,436
[laughing,
chattering continue]
170
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,232
[Sibil]
Little did I know,
171
00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:10,819
my family already had
everything we needed.
172
00:10:13,488 --> 00:10:15,324
We had each other.
173
00:10:35,052 --> 00:10:37,471
Listen, my story is the story
174
00:10:37,554 --> 00:10:42,100
of over two million people
in the United States of America
175
00:10:42,184 --> 00:10:45,270
that are falling prey
to the incarceration
176
00:10:45,354 --> 00:10:47,397
of poor people
and people of color.
177
00:10:47,481 --> 00:10:49,566
So I’m asking you
to come out and join me.
178
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,943
And I had one other thing.
What was it?
179
00:10:52,027 --> 00:10:55,655
Oh, we’re gonna be going live.
If you cannot make it tonight,
180
00:10:55,739 --> 00:11:00,911
then I would ask that you catch
the live broadcast at 7:00 p.m.
on my Facebook page,
181
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:03,497
because we will be posting live
from the experience.
182
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:05,916
Listen, it’s more than
a conversation, y’all.
183
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:07,918
It is definitely the--
an experience,
184
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:09,711
and I hope you can
meet me there.
185
00:11:09,795 --> 00:11:12,172
Tulane University,
7:00 p.m. tonight
186
00:11:12,255 --> 00:11:14,007
at the Rogers Memorial Chapel.
187
00:11:14,091 --> 00:11:15,675
Peace and love.
188
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:21,598
[steam hissing]
189
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,044
[Remington] Hey, you,
come here real quick.
190
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:57,884
This is supposed to
always line up.
191
00:11:57,968 --> 00:12:00,137
Your belt is supposed
to always line up
with the seam of your shirt.
192
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:02,764
[Sibil]
Who pulled the clothes
out the dryer like that?
193
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:09,479
[people chattering]
194
00:12:13,859 --> 00:12:16,528
[man] Ladies and gentlemen,
if you will please join me
195
00:12:16,611 --> 00:12:18,864
in giving your warmest
Green Wave welcome
196
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:22,701
to my mother, your speaker
for this evening, Fox Rich.
197
00:12:22,784 --> 00:12:25,036
[cheering, applause]
198
00:12:33,044 --> 00:12:35,505
[Sibil] Let me get it clear
from the start.
199
00:12:36,339 --> 00:12:41,094
I know I didn’t get away
with nothing but my life.
200
00:12:43,763 --> 00:12:46,391
[camera clicks, whirs]
201
00:12:46,475 --> 00:12:49,436
September 16, 1997,
my husband and I arrive
202
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:51,521
at Grambling Federal
Credit Union.
203
00:12:52,689 --> 00:12:53,899
Dang-- That’s what I said.
204
00:12:53,982 --> 00:12:56,485
Why the hell did I do that?
[laughter]
205
00:12:56,568 --> 00:12:58,737
What in the world
was I thinking of?
206
00:13:08,205 --> 00:13:13,043
Rob and I had a dream
to open Shreveport’s first
hip-hop clothing store.
207
00:13:17,714 --> 00:13:20,800
But we were struggling
to make ends meet.
208
00:13:21,635 --> 00:13:25,388
And what I remember during
that time more than anything
209
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:28,058
was not wanting to fail.
210
00:13:31,061 --> 00:13:33,021
And we had become
desperate.
211
00:13:34,648 --> 00:13:37,817
Desperate people
do desperate things.
212
00:13:39,611 --> 00:13:41,279
It’s as simple as that.
213
00:14:01,758 --> 00:14:04,928
When I dropped my husband
and his nephew off...
214
00:14:06,263 --> 00:14:07,764
to rob a bank...
215
00:14:09,474 --> 00:14:13,019
immediately after they got
out of the car, I knew.
216
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:20,235
We had entered
into a world...
217
00:14:21,236 --> 00:14:25,365
that we...
would never forget.
218
00:14:47,554 --> 00:14:49,431
At that time,
219
00:14:49,514 --> 00:14:53,602
armed robbery carried
a five- to 99-year sentence.
220
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:58,315
And on June 15, 1999,
221
00:14:58,398 --> 00:15:01,610
my husband was sentenced
to 60 years in prison
222
00:15:02,152 --> 00:15:05,488
without the benefit
of probation,
223
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:09,701
parole or
suspension of sentence.
224
00:15:21,588 --> 00:15:24,049
Sixty years...
225
00:15:26,718 --> 00:15:29,512
of human life.
226
00:15:35,727 --> 00:15:39,356
My mama said,
"Shit is easy to get into."
227
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:43,902
Mm. Mm.
228
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:46,488
Mm.
229
00:15:46,571 --> 00:15:49,032
It’s been 20 years, y’all.
230
00:15:49,115 --> 00:15:51,201
It’s been 20 years,
y’all.
231
00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:54,079
It’s been two decades, y’all.
232
00:15:54,162 --> 00:15:57,123
It’s been 20 long years.
233
00:15:57,207 --> 00:16:00,710
It is hard to get out of.
234
00:16:06,508 --> 00:16:09,886
It’s almost like slavery time.
235
00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:15,183
Like the white man
keep you there until...
236
00:16:16,101 --> 00:16:18,853
he figures it’s time
for you to get out.
237
00:16:18,937 --> 00:16:21,690
And that’s what
this situation is.
238
00:16:22,524 --> 00:16:24,567
A personal vendetta.
239
00:16:26,945 --> 00:16:30,031
Personal vendetta. Yep.
240
00:16:31,449 --> 00:16:35,161
And see, I told my child,
I said, "What you need to do...
241
00:16:36,538 --> 00:16:40,709
is pin your hair up on your head
242
00:16:40,792 --> 00:16:42,669
like you half crazy...
243
00:16:45,046 --> 00:16:47,507
put you on a dress,
244
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:51,136
a pair of pants
and some flat shoes,
245
00:16:51,219 --> 00:16:54,764
and go on down
to that courthouse, to court."
246
00:16:57,434 --> 00:16:59,644
She pressed that hair out
247
00:17:00,311 --> 00:17:04,149
and fling it all in them
white folks’ faces, okay?
248
00:17:04,232 --> 00:17:06,901
I said, "You ought to not
go down there like that.
249
00:17:06,985 --> 00:17:10,572
Them white folk
already don’t like you."
250
00:17:18,705 --> 00:17:20,248
Wouldn’t listen.
251
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:36,639
I thought that my daughter
would marry a doctor,
252
00:17:36,723 --> 00:17:39,726
a lawyer or Indian chief...
253
00:17:40,852 --> 00:17:44,773
and that there’d be some things
she just wouldn’t do.
254
00:17:45,648 --> 00:17:48,693
You don’t do that.
You don’t do that.
255
00:17:53,114 --> 00:17:54,657
[sighs]
256
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:57,368
I’ve always been
a firm believer...
257
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:02,582
right don’t come to you
doing wrong.
258
00:18:03,792 --> 00:18:05,710
Does it? No.
259
00:18:05,794 --> 00:18:07,462
No. [sniffs]
260
00:18:07,545 --> 00:18:10,298
And that’s--
that’s all of that.
261
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:14,552
[siren wailing]
262
00:18:27,315 --> 00:18:28,858
[woman on phone]
I don’t have good credit,
263
00:18:28,942 --> 00:18:31,694
so I was trying to see
how that would work.
264
00:18:31,778 --> 00:18:35,281
[Sibil] Okay, Miss Kaylin.
And which one of our vehicles
were you looking at?
265
00:18:36,658 --> 00:18:38,409
The, uh--
It was, uh, the white one.
266
00:18:38,493 --> 00:18:43,081
It’s the Cadillac SRX 2008,
with a thousand to put down.
267
00:18:43,164 --> 00:18:44,332
Oh, okay.
268
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:46,417
[static crackles]
[phone dings]
269
00:18:46,501 --> 00:18:48,753
She got bad credit,
and the first thing
she want to do
270
00:18:48,837 --> 00:18:51,214
is get the most expensive car
we got online.
271
00:18:51,297 --> 00:18:53,383
Yes, ma’am, so do you want
to submit your application
272
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:56,636
so we can see if we can get you
enough on that particular car?
273
00:18:56,719 --> 00:18:58,721
And if not,
then we can certainly get you
274
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:01,057
in a car
with a thousand dollars down.
275
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:02,725
Okay, that’s fine.
276
00:19:11,317 --> 00:19:13,611
I was reflecting
with my husband last night.
277
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:16,865
It was March of 2013
278
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:19,409
when I made the decision
to move to New Orleans.
279
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:25,456
It was right after
March the 5th,
as a matter of fact.
280
00:19:25,540 --> 00:19:29,794
We got a letter in the mail
from the last high-priced
lawyer we hired.
281
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:34,048
Spent 15 grand in cash...
282
00:19:35,717 --> 00:19:37,385
up front to--
283
00:19:37,468 --> 00:19:39,470
for him to send us
a letter
284
00:19:39,554 --> 00:19:43,683
a few days before
he was supposed to file
paperwork on our behalf
285
00:19:43,766 --> 00:19:46,686
saying that
there was nothing else
that they could do for us.
286
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:50,398
And so I opened the letter
287
00:19:50,481 --> 00:19:54,569
and literally, um,
would not cry,
288
00:19:54,652 --> 00:19:58,239
but when we looked
in the back of the car,
Robert was crying.
289
00:19:58,323 --> 00:20:01,576
It was me,
Laurence, Freedom,
Justus and Robert.
290
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:08,499
And I think the rest of us,
we were so accustomed to the--
to the letdowns
291
00:20:08,583 --> 00:20:11,544
that, you know, we just all
kind of sat in silence.
292
00:20:11,628 --> 00:20:15,506
And then, when we looked up,
baby boy was boo-hooing.
293
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:18,301
You know, so he made us
tap back into the emotion
294
00:20:18,384 --> 00:20:20,845
that we were all
trying not to feel.
295
00:20:23,056 --> 00:20:25,266
And, uh, to have spent
all of that money
296
00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:27,268
and still have
absolutely no results,
297
00:20:27,352 --> 00:20:31,147
after I had expended all of
the family’s money again,
298
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:34,400
um, I knew that
if it was gonna be,
299
00:20:34,484 --> 00:20:37,362
it was gonna be totally
up to me. [chuckles]
300
00:20:42,158 --> 00:20:44,077
[Sibil]
Brother Ronnie.
301
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,954
[Ronald on speakerphone]
Yeah, tell me the story.
302
00:20:46,037 --> 00:20:47,914
[Sibil] Ah, we got
a few more hours
303
00:20:47,997 --> 00:20:49,832
before the judge
supposed to issue a ruling.
304
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:53,544
He said two days,
so today is day two.
305
00:20:53,628 --> 00:20:56,589
[Ronald] Yeah, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
306
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,509
Yeah, so that’s
what we’re working on.
307
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:01,928
That’s close.
This is as close
as you’ve ever been.
308
00:21:02,011 --> 00:21:04,305
[laughs]
Yeah, don’t remind me.
309
00:21:04,389 --> 00:21:06,391
This is the closest
I’ve ever been.
[Ronald laughs]
310
00:21:06,474 --> 00:21:09,018
Just waiting on--
At least waiting on an answer.
311
00:21:09,102 --> 00:21:12,397
Yeah, we might as well be
praying and be patient.
312
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,774
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, like...
313
00:21:15,692 --> 00:21:17,360
Yeah,
send the Holy Ghost.
314
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:19,862
Yeah.
Send the Holy Ghost.
315
00:21:19,946 --> 00:21:22,198
So...
Uh...
316
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:24,158
All right, uh...
317
00:21:25,159 --> 00:21:29,330
we’re taking it
step by step.
318
00:21:30,748 --> 00:21:32,500
Uh...
319
00:21:33,209 --> 00:21:35,670
Well, by 5:00
I oughta know something.
320
00:21:35,753 --> 00:21:37,588
I’ll either know
it wasn’t answered today,
321
00:21:37,672 --> 00:21:40,925
or I’ll know, um--
What the answer is.
322
00:21:41,009 --> 00:21:43,428
What the answer is.
[laughs]
323
00:21:43,511 --> 00:21:45,096
We’ll know what
the answer is.
324
00:21:45,179 --> 00:21:48,349
Really by 4:00, ’cause,
you know, they, um--
325
00:21:48,433 --> 00:21:51,102
I think the clerk of courts
closes about 4:00.
326
00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:54,939
So I’m gonna call after lunch
and see if it has come down,
327
00:21:55,023 --> 00:22:00,570
if it has been issued,
and, um, take it from there.
328
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:02,280
I’ll keep you
posted, though.
Yeah.
329
00:22:02,363 --> 00:22:03,948
All right,
keep me posted.
All right.
330
00:22:04,032 --> 00:22:05,783
Take care. Bye.
Bye-bye.

Do you want
to continue to hold?
343
00:23:40,753 --> 00:23:42,630
Yes, ma’am,
if you’d be so kind.
344
00:23:42,713 --> 00:23:45,174
Okay.
[line goes silent]
345
00:24:08,573 --> 00:24:10,491
Sandra.
Hey, Miss Sandra.
346
00:24:10,575 --> 00:24:12,910
This is
Sibil Richardson again.
Hi.
347
00:24:12,994 --> 00:24:14,162
Mm-hmm.
Were you able--
348
00:24:14,245 --> 00:24:15,955
No, we don’t
have anything.
349
00:24:16,038 --> 00:24:17,832
You have to check with us
on Monday.
350
00:24:17,915 --> 00:24:19,375
Yes, ma’am.
Thank you so much.
351
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:20,877
Okay. All right.
Have a good weekend.
352
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,837
Bye-bye.
All right. You, too.
353
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,756
[line clicks]
[sighs]
354
00:24:33,181 --> 00:24:35,391
All right, it is, um,
355
00:24:35,474 --> 00:24:37,602
I think, probably about...
356
00:24:38,311 --> 00:24:40,271
2:20 in the morning.
357
00:24:40,354 --> 00:24:44,901
It is October 20th,
and we are on our way--
358
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:47,069
uh, today is the 21st--
359
00:24:47,153 --> 00:24:49,614
on our way down
to go see my husband.
360
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:54,076
Big Rob, it’s time to
go see your daddy, man.
361
00:24:56,245 --> 00:24:59,540
[reporter on TV]
Twenty-year-old Marcus Taylor,
18-year-old Jesse Stewart
362
00:24:59,624 --> 00:25:01,959
and 22-year-old
Joseph Kennedy Junior
363
00:25:02,043 --> 00:25:05,213
were charged with
the first-degree murder
of Lottie Myers.
364
00:25:05,296 --> 00:25:07,673
It’s day three
of jury selection
in the Virginia trial
365
00:25:07,757 --> 00:25:09,675
of sniper suspect
John Muhammad.
366
00:25:20,186 --> 00:25:22,021
[Sibil] At the beginning
of every year,
367
00:25:22,104 --> 00:25:25,608
every New Year’s Eve
for the past 20 years,
368
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:27,568
we have always started
the new year
369
00:25:27,652 --> 00:25:29,862
knowing that this was
gonna be the year
370
00:25:29,946 --> 00:25:31,822
that my husband
was coming home.
371
00:25:35,201 --> 00:25:38,579
And if you haven’t done
something in the courts
by Thanksgiving,
372
00:25:38,663 --> 00:25:41,791
then you know that you’re
about to end the year
373
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:44,627
and you’re still
gonna be incarcerated.
374
00:25:46,462 --> 00:25:50,591
The hope that you’ve given
yourself all year long or the--
375
00:25:50,675 --> 00:25:55,554
truth be told,
the lie you’ve given yourself
all year long--
376
00:25:56,305 --> 00:26:00,685
you have to accept that maybe
this just wasn’t the year.
377
00:26:00,768 --> 00:26:02,979
But next year is the year.
378
00:26:36,971 --> 00:26:40,391
[woman] When I would see Rob,
they’d be coming or going.
379
00:26:42,935 --> 00:26:45,396
So, I got nothing
against him.
380
00:26:45,479 --> 00:26:47,064
I just don’t know him.
381
00:26:54,739 --> 00:26:56,657
Now, they did do it.
382
00:26:56,741 --> 00:26:58,784
Now, if...
383
00:26:59,952 --> 00:27:03,831
he had gone in there
and accepted the plea bargain,
384
00:27:03,914 --> 00:27:07,918
which was 12 years,
he’d have been on the ground.
385
00:27:09,295 --> 00:27:13,090
Sibil went in there,
she accepted her 12 years.
386
00:27:13,174 --> 00:27:14,842
She on the ground,
ain’t she?
387
00:27:14,925 --> 00:27:16,177
Okay.
388
00:27:20,556 --> 00:27:22,224
Life goes on.
389
00:27:23,476 --> 00:27:25,895
And keep hope alive.
390
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:29,815
Ain’t that what
Jesse Jackson say?
Keep hope alive.
391
00:27:29,899 --> 00:27:32,151
Keep hoping that
one of these days,
392
00:27:32,234 --> 00:27:35,488
when you walk up
in that courtroom,
that this is it.
393
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:48,209
What tenacity, what fortitude,
what hope, what faith
394
00:27:48,292 --> 00:27:50,503
to sit there
and a lawyer tell you
395
00:27:50,586 --> 00:27:53,172
that you looking at
300 years in prison,
396
00:27:53,255 --> 00:27:55,007
and you have the gird
397
00:27:55,091 --> 00:27:58,094
to stand before your wife
and say to her,
398
00:27:58,761 --> 00:28:00,513
"We gonna be all right."
399
00:28:06,227 --> 00:28:09,688
He said, "God looks after
the sparrows, Sibil.
400
00:28:10,648 --> 00:28:13,192
I know he gonna take care of us.
401
00:28:14,110 --> 00:28:17,446
God watches over the sparrows.
402
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,408
I know God will watch us."
403
00:28:22,410 --> 00:28:25,454
My son, Remington,
he was the eldest at the time,
404
00:28:25,538 --> 00:28:28,207
and I said to him, uh...
405
00:28:30,251 --> 00:28:33,129
"They are requiring me
to go to prison.
406
00:28:33,212 --> 00:28:35,214
And I’m gonna
have to leave you,
407
00:28:35,297 --> 00:28:38,759
and I am going to need you
to help your grandmother
408
00:28:38,843 --> 00:28:40,428
with your brothers."
409
00:28:42,346 --> 00:28:45,224
He broke out crying.
410
00:28:46,976 --> 00:28:49,812
Screaming and howling.
411
00:28:49,895 --> 00:28:52,314
"I thought you said
you wasn’t gonna have to go."
412
00:28:53,107 --> 00:28:56,652
And I’m crying,
and I’m saying, "I know.
413
00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:59,196
I didn’t think
they were gonna make me go,
414
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,032
but they are,
and so I have to.
415
00:29:02,116 --> 00:29:04,618
And I’m gonna need you
to go on, cry,
416
00:29:04,702 --> 00:29:07,371
and wipe your eyes
and come over here,
417
00:29:07,455 --> 00:29:10,875
and let’s start counting down
to when I leave."
418
00:29:10,958 --> 00:29:14,795
"Well, why we gotta count down
to when you leave, Mama?"
419
00:29:14,879 --> 00:29:17,339
I said, "Because
the sooner I can leave,
420
00:29:17,423 --> 00:29:21,010
the sooner I can
get back home."
421
00:29:28,893 --> 00:29:30,728
[Sibil] What I’m gonna do
with a big boy like you?
422
00:29:30,811 --> 00:29:32,938
And I will say ma--
you will say,
423
00:29:33,022 --> 00:29:36,108
"Man, I don’t--
You gonna pick that up."
424
00:29:36,192 --> 00:29:39,904
And I’m gonna say, "Mama,
you don’t need to hold that.
Let me carry it."
425
00:29:39,987 --> 00:29:42,031
Yeah?
’Cause I’m
your kindergartener.
426
00:29:42,114 --> 00:29:43,824
Yeah.
My kindergartener.
427
00:29:43,908 --> 00:29:46,452
And then you put it in my hand,
I get ready to carry it.
428
00:29:46,535 --> 00:29:50,289
All right.
I carry it wherever
you tell me to take it.
429
00:29:50,372 --> 00:29:51,957
All right.
430
00:29:56,837 --> 00:29:58,797
[faint chattering]
431
00:30:00,174 --> 00:30:01,258
What?
432
00:30:03,552 --> 00:30:06,680
[no audible dialogue]
433
00:30:16,649 --> 00:30:18,442
Yeah, you should.
434
00:30:18,526 --> 00:30:21,070
But this how we--
this how we are in class.
435
00:30:21,153 --> 00:30:22,780
This how they lined us up
yesterday.
436
00:30:24,490 --> 00:30:27,326
Bonita, Maggie, me, Regan.
437
00:30:27,409 --> 00:30:29,036
All right.
Wait, so over here?
438
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:31,330
Yeah, so you’re in front
of Maggie, right?
439
00:30:50,224 --> 00:30:52,184
[man] What, perhaps,
is most impressive
440
00:30:52,268 --> 00:30:55,646
are the things
you decided not to do.
441
00:30:56,397 --> 00:30:59,692
You decided not to be defined
by your limitations,
442
00:30:59,775 --> 00:31:03,946
not to be held captive
by the opinions of others,
443
00:31:04,029 --> 00:31:06,156
not to follow the crowd.
444
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,409
In fact, you have chosen
not to be limited
445
00:31:08,492 --> 00:31:12,037
to the most common pitfalls
of our very generation.
446
00:31:12,121 --> 00:31:15,165
And your families,
they probably don’t
understand it,
447
00:31:15,249 --> 00:31:17,376
and your friends,
they probably can’t explain it,
448
00:31:17,459 --> 00:31:19,461
and you probably
can’t explain it yourself.
449
00:31:19,545 --> 00:31:22,965
But it’s only
by the grace of God
that you are here today.
450
00:31:23,048 --> 00:31:25,175
[woman] Amen.
[applause]
451
00:31:30,097 --> 00:31:34,268
[Remington] Through dentistry,
you get the image
of who somebody is,
452
00:31:34,351 --> 00:31:35,936
from the first impression.
453
00:31:37,104 --> 00:31:40,482
And in our society,
image is everything.
454
00:31:43,485 --> 00:31:46,238
My family has
a very strong image,
455
00:31:46,322 --> 00:31:49,450
but hiding behind that
is a lot of hurt.
456
00:31:50,951 --> 00:31:52,453
Lot of pain.
457
00:32:19,188 --> 00:32:21,357
[cheering, shouting]
458
00:32:32,910 --> 00:32:37,331
[Remington]
Time is influenced
by our emotions.
459
00:32:38,123 --> 00:32:42,002
It’s influenced
by our actions.
460
00:33:05,192 --> 00:33:07,152
[Sibil]
Time is when
you look at pictures
461
00:33:07,236 --> 00:33:09,947
from when your babies
were small, and...
462
00:33:12,199 --> 00:33:14,076
then you look at them
and you see
463
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:18,580
that they have
mustaches and beards,
464
00:33:18,664 --> 00:33:22,000
and that the biggest hope
that you had
465
00:33:22,084 --> 00:33:25,129
was that before
they turned into men,
466
00:33:25,212 --> 00:33:28,549
they would have a chance
to be with their father.
467
00:33:31,885 --> 00:33:33,929
[children laughing, chattering]
468
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:36,515
[Sibil] Today is
July the 3rd.
469
00:33:36,598 --> 00:33:38,225
Oh, you see me!
470
00:33:38,308 --> 00:33:41,311
And I am recording
Freedom and Justus.
471
00:33:41,395 --> 00:33:43,147
[laughter]
472
00:33:43,230 --> 00:33:44,648
You Mama.
473
00:33:45,733 --> 00:33:47,067
Ha!
What’s your name?
474
00:33:47,151 --> 00:33:50,612
"Justice."
Justus what?
475
00:33:50,696 --> 00:33:51,989
"Justice" Freedom.
476
00:33:52,072 --> 00:33:54,867
Your name is not Justice.
It’s Just-us.
477
00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:57,494
Justus. Oh.
478
00:33:58,871 --> 00:34:02,249
[Sibil] Freedom won
the student of the month award
479
00:34:02,332 --> 00:34:05,544
at Our Lady Blessed Sacrament.
[woman cheering, clapping]
480
00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:09,214
Everybody,
give Freedom a hand.
Give Freedom a hand.
481
00:34:10,382 --> 00:34:12,176
[Sibil] Did JJ get
a trophy of the month?
482
00:34:12,259 --> 00:34:14,011
No.
He wasn’t a student
of the month?
483
00:34:14,094 --> 00:34:16,138
No!
Why?
484
00:34:16,221 --> 00:34:18,640
He didn’t work hard.
JJ.
485
00:34:18,724 --> 00:34:20,976
So you’re not the--
You didn’t get an award
486
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:23,562
for being student
of the month?
Let me see.
487
00:34:23,645 --> 00:34:26,356
No, I said, "You didn’t
get an award for being
student of the month?"
488
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,859
Uh-uh.
You didn’t?
489
00:34:28,942 --> 00:34:30,861
Why you didn’t get one?
490
00:34:30,944 --> 00:34:33,030
[audio fades]
491
00:34:39,453 --> 00:34:42,331
[Justus] When my mother
and father were arrested
492
00:34:42,414 --> 00:34:46,293
for robbing a bank,
493
00:34:47,127 --> 00:34:50,130
she ended up having a--
a set of twins,
494
00:34:50,214 --> 00:34:52,049
one of them being myself
495
00:34:52,132 --> 00:34:54,551
and the other being
my twin brother Freedom.
496
00:34:55,677 --> 00:35:00,599
She named me Justus because,
during that time,
497
00:35:00,682 --> 00:35:02,768
in the early stages,
498
00:35:02,851 --> 00:35:06,188
it was just my mother
and my father.
499
00:35:06,772 --> 00:35:10,901
So she named me Justus without
any spacing in the middle.
500
00:35:14,738 --> 00:35:17,741
Time is what you make of it.
501
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:20,077
Time is unbiased.
502
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,330
Time is lost. Time flies.
503
00:35:23,413 --> 00:35:24,873
[chattering]
504
00:35:24,957 --> 00:35:27,251
This situation
has just been...
505
00:35:28,752 --> 00:35:30,587
a long time.
506
00:35:31,922 --> 00:35:33,632
A really long time.
507
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,640
[Sibil] Here, Freedom.
You want to keep the key?
508
00:35:44,726 --> 00:35:46,353
[bell tolling]
509
00:35:46,436 --> 00:35:48,730
Y’all don’t have
no Bible, huh?
510
00:35:48,814 --> 00:35:50,274
[Freedom]
I have a mobile app.
511
00:35:50,357 --> 00:35:52,234
[Sibil scoffs]
[car door closes]
512
00:35:53,318 --> 00:35:54,987
Okay.
You good?
513
00:35:55,779 --> 00:35:57,072
Good morning.
514
00:36:01,743 --> 00:36:03,579
Y’all sent him
an e-mail?
515
00:36:03,662 --> 00:36:05,747
[chattering]
516
00:36:11,003 --> 00:36:13,964
-[Sibil] Where is he?
-Up front, in the,
uh, plaid shirt.
517
00:36:14,047 --> 00:36:15,674
Hmm.
518
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,013
How you doing?
Happy Father’s Day.
519
00:36:21,513 --> 00:36:23,307
[man] Fox.
[Sibil] Yes, sir!
520
00:36:23,390 --> 00:36:26,018
I can’t even begin
to tell you how much
you blessed my life.
521
00:36:26,101 --> 00:36:28,520
When you talked about
what a real husband does.
522
00:36:28,604 --> 00:36:33,066
Um, Pastor, my husband
has been gone for
19 and a half years.
523
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:35,319
September will make
20 years for us.
524
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:37,988
And what’s
your husband’s name?
525
00:36:38,071 --> 00:36:39,114
Robert...
526
00:36:40,115 --> 00:36:41,658
Richardson.
527
00:36:45,495 --> 00:36:46,747
Okay.
Yeah?
528
00:36:46,830 --> 00:36:49,583
And he’s on
the West Yard, too?
Mm-hmm. He is.
529
00:36:49,666 --> 00:36:51,209
He’s, um,
in Walnut Four.
530
00:36:51,293 --> 00:36:52,711
Walnut Four.
You know what?
Mm-hmm.
531
00:36:52,794 --> 00:36:56,048
I, um-- I try to visit
on Fridays whenever I can
532
00:36:56,131 --> 00:36:58,175
because
Saturdays and Sundays
are so crowded.
533
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:00,093
But I went last week,
and I went back-to-back,
534
00:37:00,177 --> 00:37:02,346
’cause I told him,
"I’m not coming up here
Father’s Day.
535
00:37:02,429 --> 00:37:04,473
It’s gonna be packed
in here."
536
00:37:04,556 --> 00:37:06,266
I wouldn’t never tell him
I’m gonna be here
Father’s Day.
537
00:37:06,350 --> 00:37:08,226
"You know I love you,
but I’ll see you
the week after."
538
00:37:08,310 --> 00:37:11,063
And mine was, I just,
uh, probably anger.
539
00:37:11,146 --> 00:37:14,024
They didn’t have power
all week, so they didn’t
have any visits on Friday.
540
00:37:14,107 --> 00:37:16,735
So, you know...
Right, yeah.
It is gonna be busy, huh?
541
00:37:16,818 --> 00:37:18,695
I didn’t go because
it was gonna be busy.
542
00:37:18,779 --> 00:37:21,448
I just didn’t go
because I just couldn’t
take it today.
543
00:37:21,531 --> 00:37:23,325
Yeah, it’s hard.
Not today. Yeah.
544
00:37:23,408 --> 00:37:26,203
You know, it’s like,
I can’t even believe
we’re still here,
545
00:37:26,286 --> 00:37:28,330
so today not to go
is just like...
546
00:37:28,413 --> 00:37:32,292
But, you know,
I be praying every year
that they cut their budget.
547
00:37:32,376 --> 00:37:34,503
Their budget needs to be cut,
so they have to release them.
548
00:37:34,586 --> 00:37:37,047
They cut everything. I mean,
we said that during Katrina.
549
00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:39,091
We said that during
the last great flood.
550
00:37:39,174 --> 00:37:40,676
We said that before Katrina,
551
00:37:40,759 --> 00:37:43,595
um, when the--
when oil and gas plummeted.
552
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:45,347
My husband and I,
you know, been saying,
553
00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:47,516
"Oh, this is gonna be the year
they’re gonna have to..."
554
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:50,060
And, baby,
they will cut from education,
they will cut from health care,
555
00:37:50,143 --> 00:37:52,980
but they will not
cut that budget.
556
00:37:53,063 --> 00:37:54,606
They will not cut that budget.
557
00:37:54,690 --> 00:37:56,274
I think they went back
and fully funded it.
558
00:37:56,358 --> 00:37:59,361
[chattering, fades]
559
00:38:09,204 --> 00:38:11,707
[Freedom]
Statistics say that children
of incarcerated parents
560
00:38:11,790 --> 00:38:14,001
aren’t even supposed to
graduate from high school.
561
00:38:14,084 --> 00:38:16,586
So the fact that I can
graduate from high school
two years early
562
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:19,339
and then be at a prestigious
university like this
just speaks volumes.
563
00:38:19,423 --> 00:38:21,091
It’s like
everything that I do--
564
00:38:21,174 --> 00:38:22,718
And that’s why I always
talk to a lot of people.
565
00:38:22,801 --> 00:38:25,053
What’s your major?
My major’s poli sci.
566
00:38:25,137 --> 00:38:26,972
So political science.
567
00:38:27,055 --> 00:38:30,684
And so my whole thing is,
if we are to transform
the criminal justice system
568
00:38:30,767 --> 00:38:33,061
in order to make it more
a forgiving system,
569
00:38:33,145 --> 00:38:35,480
uh, then you have to understand
how it operates.
570
00:38:35,564 --> 00:38:38,275
And so, my whole thing is,
as soon as I learn how it is
that it operates,
571
00:38:38,358 --> 00:38:41,486
uh, then being able to be
some kind of policy advocate
572
00:38:41,570 --> 00:38:43,280
or even a maker,
573
00:38:43,363 --> 00:38:44,906
uh, being able to reform
those policies
574
00:38:44,990 --> 00:38:46,992
that have targeted
communities of color.
575
00:38:48,118 --> 00:38:50,662
[applause, cheering]
576
00:38:50,746 --> 00:38:52,414
Thank you so much.
Hey, man, best of luck to you.
577
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:54,207
[woman]
I have a question.
578
00:38:54,291 --> 00:38:56,376
[man] For the Senate
here at large?
Yeah.
579
00:38:56,460 --> 00:38:59,921
Um, two of them have never
served on Senate before.
580
00:39:00,005 --> 00:39:01,590
Except for Kirsten.
581
00:39:01,673 --> 00:39:03,008
I’m sorry.
I’ve actually--
582
00:39:03,091 --> 00:39:04,634
You’ve been in FYC.
583
00:39:04,718 --> 00:39:07,054
Well, well-- Thank you.
Uh, so I did--
584
00:39:07,137 --> 00:39:11,141
I’m so sorry to cut you off,
but I do feel like experience
is extremely important to have.
585
00:39:11,224 --> 00:39:12,934
Something that I’ve done,
though I am a sophomore,
586
00:39:13,018 --> 00:39:14,352
I have served
on the first-year council,
587
00:39:14,436 --> 00:39:16,396
so I know where to find
the bathroom,
588
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,148
and I know what
the legislative processes are
589
00:39:18,231 --> 00:39:19,441
and how to go about doing them.
590
00:39:19,524 --> 00:39:21,276
Did you know
that the board,
591
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:23,862
whatever you’re talking about,
already exists on OrgSync?
592
00:39:23,945 --> 00:39:26,448
Every piece of legislation
is uploaded on OrgSync.
593
00:39:26,531 --> 00:39:28,950
I’m--
Anybody that wants
to see legislation
594
00:39:29,034 --> 00:39:32,329
that’s being worked on
in Senate can sign in
to OrgSync.
595
00:39:32,412 --> 00:39:34,998
Rhonda, let’s be truthful here.
When we’re talking
about transparency--
596
00:39:35,082 --> 00:39:37,250
And I appreciate you
confronting me on this issue,
597
00:39:37,334 --> 00:39:39,544
because it’s something
that every student
needs to have access to
598
00:39:39,628 --> 00:39:41,338
and something that
every student should know.
599
00:39:41,421 --> 00:39:43,757
Whenever we’re
navigating OrgSync,
600
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,426
you know darn well
that students on our campus,
601
00:39:46,510 --> 00:39:47,761
particularly
first-year students,
602
00:39:47,844 --> 00:39:50,097
do not navigate OrgSync
easily.
603
00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:53,016
It is a personal issue
because when I wanted to
first get involved,
604
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:54,935
I had to look around
every bathroom
605
00:39:55,018 --> 00:39:57,270
and every flyer
that was posted, uh...
[chuckles]
606
00:39:57,354 --> 00:39:59,397
necessarily, uh, in Monroe,
the second floor,
607
00:39:59,481 --> 00:40:01,274
or even the fourth floor,
in order to get involved.
608
00:40:01,358 --> 00:40:03,485
SGA has to play
a more active role
609
00:40:03,568 --> 00:40:07,114
and a more personalized role
in confronting students
so that we play a more--
610
00:40:07,197 --> 00:40:09,908
[Rhonda]
I’m not disagreeing with you.
I’m saying it already exists.
611
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:11,952
[man] Let’s let
Richard respond
to the question.
612
00:40:12,035 --> 00:40:15,455
Of course, and I’d love to
talk to you about that
after the debate.
613
00:40:15,539 --> 00:40:18,583
[rhythmic clanking]
614
00:40:32,305 --> 00:40:33,849
[sighs]
615
00:40:33,932 --> 00:40:35,433
Come on, Lord.
616
00:40:36,768 --> 00:40:38,520
Let this be the day.
617
00:40:57,205 --> 00:40:59,040
[line beeps, clicks]
This is Marcy.
618
00:40:59,124 --> 00:41:01,918
Hi, Miss Marcy.
How you doing?
I’m good. How are you?
619
00:41:02,002 --> 00:41:03,962
Good. Thank you so much
for asking.
620
00:41:04,045 --> 00:41:08,300
I hear you have the pleasure
of being Judge Rogers’,
um, secretary.
621
00:41:08,383 --> 00:41:09,843
Is that the right word?
I am.
622
00:41:09,926 --> 00:41:11,469
[chuckles]
Okay, wonderful.
623
00:41:11,553 --> 00:41:13,180
My name is, um,
Sibil Richardson,
624
00:41:13,263 --> 00:41:15,432
and, um, my family,
the Richardson family,
625
00:41:15,515 --> 00:41:19,060
is waiting on a ruling
from Judge Rogers,
626
00:41:19,144 --> 00:41:21,521
um, regarding
my husband’s matter.
627
00:41:21,605 --> 00:41:24,649
And I know he had said
in open court
628
00:41:24,733 --> 00:41:27,444
that he would, um, have it out
in a couple of days.
629
00:41:27,527 --> 00:41:30,030
I was just wondering if
you might have any information
630
00:41:30,113 --> 00:41:32,657
on an update on it,
if it’s not asking too much?
631
00:41:32,741 --> 00:41:35,202
I do not. I have
not typed any rulings.
632
00:41:35,285 --> 00:41:38,496
I was out of the office
on Friday, but I didn’t
type any on Thursday.
633
00:41:38,580 --> 00:41:41,833
Okay. Okay.
All right, then.
Okay?
634
00:41:41,917 --> 00:41:43,752
Yes, ma’am. Thank you
so much for your time.
635
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:45,337
You’re welcome.
Bye-bye.
636
00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:47,714
Bye-bye.
[line clicks]
637
00:41:47,797 --> 00:41:49,466
[sighs] So she’s the one.
638
00:41:49,549 --> 00:41:52,385
I call back and ask for her.
She’ll know when it’s typed up.
639
00:41:52,469 --> 00:41:54,679
She gotta type it.
640
00:41:54,763 --> 00:41:58,600
Maybe he wrote it today.
Maybe he gonna give it to her
tomorrow to type.
641
00:42:03,021 --> 00:42:05,774
[line rings, clicks]
642
00:42:05,857 --> 00:42:08,068
[woman] Good afternoon.
643
00:42:08,151 --> 00:42:10,070
[Sibil] Hey, this is,
um, Sibil again.
644
00:42:10,153 --> 00:42:12,906
Did you-- Were you able
to get that message to Val?
645
00:42:12,989 --> 00:42:16,868
Uh, he just got off the phone,
and I’ve got it up there
waiting on him.
646
00:42:16,952 --> 00:42:20,538
Okay. Um... all right.
647
00:42:21,331 --> 00:42:24,334
So, as soon as he gets--
Hold on just a minute.
648
00:42:31,007 --> 00:42:32,550
Sibil?
Yes, ma’am.
649
00:42:32,634 --> 00:42:35,220
Uh, he said he has
not heard anything,
650
00:42:35,303 --> 00:42:37,264
and as soon as
he does hear something,
651
00:42:37,347 --> 00:42:39,474
he will definitely
let you know.
652
00:42:39,557 --> 00:42:42,060
Yeah, I just know
the judge had said two days.
653
00:42:42,143 --> 00:42:45,188
I guess maybe
he changed his mind and took
a little bit longer, huh?
654
00:42:45,272 --> 00:42:47,565
Oh. [scoffs]
Judges’ll lie.
655
00:42:47,649 --> 00:42:49,943
No, they don’t
intentionally, but--
Yeah.
656
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:52,570
I’m sure he intended,
you know...
Yeah.
657
00:42:52,654 --> 00:42:54,781
Um, but I guess,
like everybody else,
658
00:42:54,864 --> 00:42:56,366
you never know
what’s gonna come up.
659
00:42:56,449 --> 00:42:57,951
Yeah. Yeah.
660
00:42:58,034 --> 00:43:01,204
Um... all righty,
thank you so much.
661
00:43:01,288 --> 00:43:03,373
Okay, hon.
Bye-bye.
[line clicks]
662
00:43:05,417 --> 00:43:07,252
[sighs]
663
00:43:40,744 --> 00:43:44,414
[grunting, exhaling]
664
00:44:21,493 --> 00:44:24,621
I’ve been home from prison
for 15 years now.
665
00:44:24,704 --> 00:44:27,791
[applause]
666
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:30,001
You ain’t never lie.
667
00:44:30,085 --> 00:44:32,754
Yeah, give me mine.
Give me a little bit more
of that. Yeah.
668
00:44:32,837 --> 00:44:34,881
I appreciate you.
[applause continues]
669
00:44:37,634 --> 00:44:39,511
Because one of the things
that I committed to was
670
00:44:39,594 --> 00:44:42,639
that they would never, ever,
ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
671
00:44:42,722 --> 00:44:47,644
ever, ever, ever, ever,
ever, ever, ever, ever...
672
00:44:47,727 --> 00:44:52,482
and ever get me
like that again.
673
00:44:52,565 --> 00:44:55,151
Would never give up my freedom.
674
00:44:55,235 --> 00:44:57,487
Would never let myself
be subjugated
675
00:44:57,570 --> 00:44:59,489
to such inhumane treatment.
676
00:44:59,572 --> 00:45:03,076
Ain’t touched my husband.
Can’t sleep in the bed with him.
Can’t hold him.
677
00:45:03,159 --> 00:45:05,662
And by law,
he belongs to me.
678
00:45:05,745 --> 00:45:08,248
Had to raise my children
by myself.
679
00:45:08,331 --> 00:45:10,708
When I was in prison,
I had to bend over and cough
680
00:45:10,792 --> 00:45:14,254
and allow somebody
to look up my rectal cavity.
681
00:45:15,422 --> 00:45:17,799
At a whim, tell me
to take off all my clothes
682
00:45:17,882 --> 00:45:19,759
’cause they want to see.
683
00:45:20,802 --> 00:45:25,223
Can only visit my family
when they say I can
visit my family.
684
00:45:26,182 --> 00:45:29,811
I get to visit my husband
two times a month.
685
00:45:31,604 --> 00:45:37,318
The state is only committed
to giving us two visits a month.
686
00:45:38,736 --> 00:45:41,239
And they are only
required by law
687
00:45:41,322 --> 00:45:45,702
to allow us to visit
for two hours.
688
00:45:52,125 --> 00:45:57,213
You raise a family
for 20 years behind bars.
689
00:45:57,922 --> 00:46:00,008
You keep a family together
690
00:46:00,091 --> 00:46:03,678
for two decades
in this institution.
691
00:46:05,305 --> 00:46:08,975
You hold on to your loved ones
and your sanity
692
00:46:09,058 --> 00:46:13,980
in the midst of this cruel
and unusual punishment.
693
00:46:15,398 --> 00:46:17,442
Then you can talk to me.
694
00:46:20,028 --> 00:46:22,989
Then you can tell me,
695
00:46:23,072 --> 00:46:27,410
if I do the crime,
I should do the time.
696
00:46:29,746 --> 00:46:32,999
[children, woman singing,
faint]
697
00:46:37,879 --> 00:46:41,883
[singing continues]
698
00:46:45,553 --> 00:46:47,222
[man] Amen! Amen!
[song ends]
699
00:46:47,305 --> 00:46:49,057
[cheering, applause]
700
00:46:51,351 --> 00:46:53,603
I hadn’t taken this chair
since I was four years old.
701
00:46:53,686 --> 00:46:55,438
[laughs]
[man] Amen.
702
00:46:55,522 --> 00:47:00,568
I, um, had to share with
my church family on, um--
703
00:47:00,652 --> 00:47:03,488
Most of you, well--
This September
will make seven years
704
00:47:03,571 --> 00:47:05,990
since my husband and I
robbed a bank.
705
00:47:06,074 --> 00:47:08,952
And, uh, last week,
God made it possible for me
706
00:47:09,035 --> 00:47:13,248
to meet with two of the,
uh, women from the bank.
707
00:47:14,165 --> 00:47:17,126
I never understood how
the choices we can make
708
00:47:17,210 --> 00:47:19,254
affect the people around us.
709
00:47:19,337 --> 00:47:21,798
Before this happened,
thought I was an island,
710
00:47:21,881 --> 00:47:24,968
that what I do is just me
and it doesn’t bother
anybody else.
711
00:47:25,051 --> 00:47:28,429
But I saw the rippling effect
that the choice that I made
712
00:47:28,513 --> 00:47:30,723
not only had on my own family,
713
00:47:30,807 --> 00:47:32,976
but I can only imagine
the effect that it had
714
00:47:33,059 --> 00:47:35,436
on all of those women
that were in the bank
715
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,022
the day that we went in there.
716
00:47:38,106 --> 00:47:39,774
And one of the women
said to me,
717
00:47:39,857 --> 00:47:41,651
as I was asking
for their forgiveness,
718
00:47:41,734 --> 00:47:43,319
she said,
"Well, the choices
that you make--"
719
00:47:43,403 --> 00:47:45,113
I said, "I saw how
it affected my family."
720
00:47:45,196 --> 00:47:48,199
She says, "Well, did you
apologize to your family?
721
00:47:48,283 --> 00:47:49,826
Did you apologize
to your mother?"
722
00:47:49,909 --> 00:47:51,244
And I said...
723
00:47:53,496 --> 00:47:58,209
"You know, I know that
I told my mother I loved her.
724
00:47:58,835 --> 00:48:01,879
I know that I told my mother
I appreciate her.
725
00:48:02,922 --> 00:48:05,008
But I cannot recall
726
00:48:05,091 --> 00:48:08,803
asking my mama
to forgive me...
727
00:48:08,886 --> 00:48:11,431
[congregation murmuring]
...for the choices I made."
728
00:48:13,308 --> 00:48:14,851
And so the lady goes on,
and I say,
729
00:48:14,934 --> 00:48:17,478
"I’m gonna go home today
and I’m gonna do that.
730
00:48:17,562 --> 00:48:19,856
I’m gonna go home right
when this meeting is over
731
00:48:19,939 --> 00:48:21,941
and ask and beg
her forgiveness."
732
00:48:22,025 --> 00:48:24,611
And she says, "No, you don’t
just do it like that.
733
00:48:24,694 --> 00:48:28,239
I want you to remember
that moment when
you apologize to her,
734
00:48:28,323 --> 00:48:30,074
just like you’ll remember
this moment
735
00:48:30,158 --> 00:48:32,577
when you’re sitting here
at the table with us."
736
00:48:33,620 --> 00:48:35,705
And so, as I’m going through
and I’m trying to figure out,
737
00:48:35,788 --> 00:48:37,957
Lord,
how am I gonna do this?
738
00:48:38,041 --> 00:48:40,460
You know, I can’t just,
you know-- [laughs]
739
00:48:40,543 --> 00:48:43,254
get my ego out of the way
and bow down
and just let her--
740
00:48:43,338 --> 00:48:46,716
I know I feel it, but,
you know, just getting
those words out.
741
00:48:46,799 --> 00:48:49,886
"Please forgive me,
’cause I know my choice
742
00:48:49,969 --> 00:48:52,764
was not a good choice
and I know I hurt you."
743
00:48:53,806 --> 00:48:57,894
And so, um,
I thought to myself,
"What better way than--"
744
00:48:57,977 --> 00:49:02,357
Because not only did I need
to ask for forgiveness
from my mother.
745
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,777
I need to ask for forgiveness
from my children.
746
00:49:05,860 --> 00:49:09,238
And I need to ask
for forgiveness
from my pastor.
747
00:49:09,322 --> 00:49:13,076
And I need to ask
for forgiveness
from my church family.
748
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:16,245
Because all of you
helped raise me.
749
00:49:16,329 --> 00:49:20,375
So, to all of you, I ask
that you please forgive me...
750
00:49:20,458 --> 00:49:23,127
[congregation] Amen.
...for the choice I made.
751
00:49:23,211 --> 00:49:25,338
[applause]
752
00:49:44,816 --> 00:49:46,651
[Sibil] While incarcerated,
753
00:49:46,734 --> 00:49:50,154
my prayer was that,
upon my release from prison,
754
00:49:50,238 --> 00:49:54,492
God would allow me
to use my voice
for the voiceless.
755
00:49:55,118 --> 00:49:57,328
Because what
I clearly understood
756
00:49:57,412 --> 00:50:01,749
was that our prison system
is nothing more than slavery.
757
00:50:01,833 --> 00:50:06,421
And I see myself
as an abolitionist.
758
00:50:06,504 --> 00:50:09,882
That power operating
inside of you--
You remember the pulse?
759
00:50:10,717 --> 00:50:12,802
When we could feel
our power?
760
00:50:13,636 --> 00:50:15,388
That same power got you
through those storms,
761
00:50:15,471 --> 00:50:17,598
that same power will get you
through the next one.
762
00:50:17,682 --> 00:50:19,600
And this one,
if you’re going through one.
763
00:50:19,684 --> 00:50:22,270
I’m here to tell you,
great ones, it ain’t
what you go through.
764
00:50:22,353 --> 00:50:26,315
It’s how you choose to grow
as a person through it.
765
00:50:26,399 --> 00:50:29,277
Anybody in here want
a little bit more?
[applause, shouting]
766
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,362
I mean, a project
and a welfare check
767
00:50:31,446 --> 00:50:32,905
just ain’t gonna
cut it for you.
768
00:50:32,989 --> 00:50:35,825
Anybody in here want
a little bit more?
[cheering]
769
00:50:35,908 --> 00:50:37,744
Let me
hear you say it.
"It’s my power."
770
00:50:37,827 --> 00:50:40,246
[all] It’s my power.
And I’m taking it back.
771
00:50:40,329 --> 00:50:42,498
I won’t quit.
[all] I won’t quit.
772
00:50:42,582 --> 00:50:44,375
Because I’m too rich.
Because I’m too rich.
773
00:50:44,459 --> 00:50:46,085
I’m Fox Rich.
Fox Rich.
774
00:50:46,169 --> 00:50:47,879
I won’t quit.
I won’t quit.
775
00:50:47,962 --> 00:50:49,547
Because I’m too rich.
Because I’m too rich.
776
00:50:49,630 --> 00:50:50,840
Oh, say it like
you mean it.
777
00:50:50,923 --> 00:50:52,717
You Fox Rich?
Fox Rich!
778
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,260
I won’t quit.
I won’t quit.
779
00:50:54,343 --> 00:50:55,636
Fox Rich.
Fox Rich.
780
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:57,638
I got the power.
I got the power.
781
00:50:57,722 --> 00:51:00,266
The power’s in me.
The power’s in me.
782
00:51:00,349 --> 00:51:02,518
And as long as you don’t quit
in this life,
783
00:51:02,602 --> 00:51:04,604
anything that
your heart desires,
784
00:51:04,687 --> 00:51:07,356
I’m telling y’all,
you can have.
785
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,525
No matter
what your obstacle is,
786
00:51:09,609 --> 00:51:12,487
all you got to do
is just believe and keep
putting one, one, one,
787
00:51:12,570 --> 00:51:14,113
one foot in front
of the other foot
788
00:51:14,197 --> 00:51:15,656
and one foot in front
of the other foot,
789
00:51:15,740 --> 00:51:17,450
and you keep walking
up here to class,
790
00:51:17,533 --> 00:51:20,828
and I promise you, great ones,
life can get better.
791
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,081
But you gotta believe.
792
00:51:25,583 --> 00:51:29,212
You only need to let those
enter into the gates of heaven
793
00:51:29,295 --> 00:51:32,465
that you can look at and say,
"If I were a man...
794
00:51:33,549 --> 00:51:36,135
that’s the type of man
I would be."
795
00:51:37,428 --> 00:51:39,055
The men that we date
are supposed to be
796
00:51:39,138 --> 00:51:41,140
a reflection of
our masculine energy.
797
00:51:41,224 --> 00:51:43,392
[applause, chattering]
798
00:51:43,476 --> 00:51:45,603
Say, "If I were a man...
799
00:51:47,188 --> 00:51:49,607
if this energy was embodied
in the male species,
800
00:51:49,690 --> 00:51:53,027
that is the type of man
I would be."
801
00:51:59,575 --> 00:52:01,911
[siren wailing in distance]
802
00:52:05,790 --> 00:52:09,669
[man] We are three weeks out
from Robert’s parole hearing.
803
00:52:09,752 --> 00:52:12,338
Game plan is different
from the last time.
804
00:52:12,421 --> 00:52:17,385
Instead of Jim going
to the parole board with you,
805
00:52:17,468 --> 00:52:19,554
I’m gonna accompany you
to the parole board.
806
00:52:19,637 --> 00:52:22,139
And I believe your mother
is gonna be with us as well.
807
00:52:22,223 --> 00:52:24,183
[Sibil] Yes.
[Robert] Okay.
808
00:52:25,184 --> 00:52:28,563
[man 2] I really think
they very much resent
809
00:52:28,646 --> 00:52:32,900
that, um-- that you all are
coming from a place of power
810
00:52:32,984 --> 00:52:34,902
and assertion
of your rights,
811
00:52:34,986 --> 00:52:38,531
as opposed to
soliciting a favor.
812
00:52:38,614 --> 00:52:43,327
But the impact that
you have together as parents
813
00:52:43,411 --> 00:52:46,914
on the growth
of these young men
814
00:52:46,998 --> 00:52:48,583
and to who they are
815
00:52:48,666 --> 00:52:54,255
is-- is such a strong point
that, um...
816
00:52:54,338 --> 00:52:56,757
I thought it was great that,
just on the fly...
817
00:52:56,841 --> 00:52:58,342
[voice fades]
818
00:52:58,426 --> 00:53:00,428
[siren wailing
in distance]
819
00:53:07,351 --> 00:53:11,230
[boy] Mom, so this is
what happened to the guy,
the coach.
820
00:53:11,314 --> 00:53:13,524
He said that I can’t play
on that team.
821
00:53:13,608 --> 00:53:16,569
-He said I’m too advanced
for the team.
-[Sibil] Aw.
822
00:53:16,652 --> 00:53:19,614
So I was playing ’cause
I’m 11 years old, so...
823
00:53:19,697 --> 00:53:21,616
the rest of the kids
on there are, like,
nine and ten.
824
00:53:21,699 --> 00:53:24,035
Oh.
And so he told--
So he recommended me
825
00:53:24,118 --> 00:53:26,537
to the coach for the,
um, elite team.
826
00:53:26,621 --> 00:53:28,539
Mm-hmm.
Chicago Fire.
827
00:53:28,623 --> 00:53:31,626
And so I’m gonna call--
So he told me to
call them tomorrow
828
00:53:31,709 --> 00:53:33,669
and set up an appointment
or trial date.
829
00:53:33,753 --> 00:53:35,296
[phone: ringtone]
Yeah.
830
00:53:36,547 --> 00:53:38,507
[automated voice] This is
a prepaid collect call from...
831
00:53:38,591 --> 00:53:39,842
[Robert]
Rob.
832
00:53:41,344 --> 00:53:44,805
[automated voice]
An inmate at the Louisiana
State Penitentiary.
833
00:53:44,889 --> 00:53:47,266
This call is subject to
recording and monitoring.
834
00:53:47,350 --> 00:53:49,060
This is a call
from an offender
835
00:53:49,143 --> 00:53:51,354
at a Louisiana Department
of Corrections facility.
836
00:53:51,437 --> 00:53:55,066
To accept charges, press one.
To refuse charges, press...
837
00:53:55,149 --> 00:53:57,234
Thank you
for using Securus.
838
00:53:57,318 --> 00:53:59,236
You may start
the conversation now.
839
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,822
[Robert] Hey, girlie.
Hey.
840
00:54:01,906 --> 00:54:03,074
How you doing?
841
00:54:03,157 --> 00:54:05,368
Good.
What took you so long?
842
00:54:06,243 --> 00:54:09,330
Uh, I don’t know.
Just, uh, giving you, um...
843
00:54:09,413 --> 00:54:12,333
Now you getting short and--
you getting short and shitty.
844
00:54:12,416 --> 00:54:14,961
You’re acting all funny
’cause you’re about to go home.
845
00:54:15,044 --> 00:54:18,005
No, no, no, no, no.
And you’re taking
your time calling.
846
00:54:18,089 --> 00:54:20,716
That’s how they get
when they get short.
847
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,553
Uh-uh. That’s why I’ve been
e-mailing you in between,
trying to pick up.
848
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:26,681
Oh, boy, you ain’t
e-mailed me in hours.
849
00:54:26,764 --> 00:54:27,974
What? Yeah.
850
00:54:28,057 --> 00:54:29,475
I did e-mail you,
851
00:54:29,558 --> 00:54:31,268
uh, once--
no, twice.
852
00:54:31,352 --> 00:54:34,105
Robert all at the bathroom
trying to talk to you.
853
00:54:34,188 --> 00:54:35,523
Tell him I said hey.
Hey.
854
00:54:35,606 --> 00:54:36,983
[Robert]
What he up to over there?
855
00:54:37,066 --> 00:54:38,651
He need to be
up to that shower
856
00:54:38,734 --> 00:54:40,486
that he got running,
wasting my water.
857
00:54:40,569 --> 00:54:42,321
I thought water was free.
[Robert] All right.
858
00:54:42,405 --> 00:54:44,740
I don’t care if water--
Water ain’t free.
[laughing]
859
00:54:44,824 --> 00:54:46,409
Tell me he thought
water was free.
860
00:54:46,492 --> 00:54:48,953
[Robert laughs]
Uh-huh.
861
00:54:49,036 --> 00:54:51,872
I got a manicure
and a pedicure.
862
00:54:51,956 --> 00:54:53,916
Oh!
863
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,419
And I got my hair done.
864
00:54:57,336 --> 00:54:58,421
Whoa.
865
00:54:58,504 --> 00:55:00,548
[laughing]
Yeah. What?
866
00:55:00,631 --> 00:55:03,342
I got my hair straight,
just like you like it.
867
00:55:03,426 --> 00:55:07,054
And I went to a Dominican
hair shop and got it done.
868
00:55:07,138 --> 00:55:09,515
And when I tell you
they know how to straighten...
869
00:55:10,933 --> 00:55:14,061
What’s the first thing
you’re gonna do when you
come home, Mr. Richardson?
870
00:55:14,937 --> 00:55:17,231
Oh, shit.
I don’t know.
871
00:55:18,482 --> 00:55:20,818
Gonna pack up
and go to Disney World.
872
00:55:20,901 --> 00:55:23,029
Ooh, ooh, that sound good.
873
00:55:23,112 --> 00:55:25,364
That’s what they say after
they win the championship.
874
00:55:25,448 --> 00:55:28,159
Every time they win
the championship,
they be like, "So what’s next?"
875
00:55:28,242 --> 00:55:31,495
They say-- Yeah.
Disney World.
876
00:55:31,579 --> 00:55:33,456
[laughter]
877
00:55:33,539 --> 00:55:36,667
Are you excited?
Um, am I excited?
878
00:55:36,751 --> 00:55:39,086
I guess I should be,
but I guess I’m spoiled.
879
00:55:39,170 --> 00:55:41,547
I’m Robert’s mama,
so I’m tired of, you know,
880
00:55:41,630 --> 00:55:45,217
looking for the little lining
at the end of the road.
881
00:55:45,301 --> 00:55:47,553
The little nugget.
882
00:55:47,636 --> 00:55:50,848
Well, we didn’t get
everything we wanted,
but we got a little something.
883
00:55:50,931 --> 00:55:54,060
We a little further along
than we were last time.
884
00:55:57,188 --> 00:56:00,066
I want my man. [scoffs]
885
00:56:00,149 --> 00:56:01,942
[laughs] All right.
886
00:56:02,651 --> 00:56:04,612
And there ain’t nothing else
pacifying me.
887
00:56:04,695 --> 00:56:06,822
Ain’t no
"further on up the road."
888
00:56:06,906 --> 00:56:08,699
Ain’t no
"I think y’all are wonderful.
889
00:56:08,783 --> 00:56:10,409
Y’all are doing a great job."
890
00:56:10,493 --> 00:56:13,829
I want my family home.
I want my family together.
891
00:56:13,913 --> 00:56:15,873
I want my children
to have their daddy.
892
00:56:15,956 --> 00:56:19,543
And I want him before my--
my-- my twins turn 18.
893
00:56:21,796 --> 00:56:24,256
And we have
the possibility to do it.
894
00:56:24,340 --> 00:56:26,926
And you got the possibility
to get it done.
895
00:56:30,012 --> 00:56:31,263
Uh-huh.
896
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:36,685
What’s Robert doing?
[Sibil] He left out.
897
00:56:36,769 --> 00:56:39,939
He just wanted
to hear your voice.
I think he getting excited.
898
00:56:40,022 --> 00:56:43,818
Gonna come sit in here
by me to hear you talk.
[chuckles]
899
00:56:43,901 --> 00:56:45,694
Yeah. [laughs]
900
00:56:49,031 --> 00:56:51,242
Boy, I looked up
at the clouds today.
901
00:56:53,619 --> 00:56:56,372
You know,
those big old fluffy clouds.
902
00:56:57,081 --> 00:56:59,542
Like I could just jump
from one to the other one.
903
00:57:02,878 --> 00:57:07,466
They have the,
um, pecan orchard
that they have right there.
904
00:57:07,550 --> 00:57:10,636
And I’m looking
and thinking, like, wow,
they planted those trees
905
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,014
20 years ago
when I first got here.
Really?
906
00:57:14,098 --> 00:57:15,808
Yeah.
[rapid beeping
over phone]
907
00:57:15,891 --> 00:57:17,643
[automated voice]
Thank you for
using Securus.
908
00:57:17,726 --> 00:57:18,978
Goodbye.
909
00:57:25,860 --> 00:57:28,195
[Sibil] My twins
will be 18 next month.
910
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:35,828
18 years old.
911
00:57:35,911 --> 00:57:40,249
When their daddy got sentenced,
I was three months’ pregnant.
912
00:57:42,751 --> 00:57:44,587
They have absolutely...
913
00:57:45,462 --> 00:57:49,800
no idea about what it means
914
00:57:49,884 --> 00:57:52,803
to have a father in their house.
915
00:57:52,887 --> 00:57:54,930
What fathers even do.
916
00:58:01,145 --> 00:58:02,980
[Sibil] Justus, can you
bring me the hammer?
917
00:58:03,063 --> 00:58:04,398
[Justus] Sure.
918
00:58:08,152 --> 00:58:09,820
Thank you.
919
00:58:09,904 --> 00:58:11,155
[Robert Jr.]
Where is it?
920
00:58:11,238 --> 00:58:12,781
[Justus] Throw it away.
921
00:58:12,865 --> 00:58:15,201
Oh, Justus,
you taller than me.
922
00:58:15,284 --> 00:58:18,120
-Fit it into
that hole right there?
-Mm-hmm.
923
00:58:27,254 --> 00:58:30,424
Thank you. You the man.
I appreciate you.
[Justus] I try to be.
924
00:58:44,521 --> 00:58:46,023
[Sibil]
Whose birthday is it?
925
00:58:46,106 --> 00:58:47,733
Me.
Freedom.
926
00:58:47,816 --> 00:58:50,694
[Sibil] It’s Freedom’s
birthday today, Mama.
927
00:58:50,778 --> 00:58:52,071
[woman] Yeah.
928
00:58:52,154 --> 00:58:53,656
Yes, yes, yes.
929
00:58:53,739 --> 00:58:57,284
[Sibil]
And JJ’s birthday.
930
00:58:57,368 --> 00:58:59,870
Happy birthday, JJ.
931
00:59:00,829 --> 00:59:03,165
Hold on. Here,
come talk to your daddy.
932
00:59:03,249 --> 00:59:05,793
[chattering]
933
00:59:05,876 --> 00:59:08,337
[Sibil] Hey, Miss Moore.
Peace and love to you.
934
00:59:08,420 --> 00:59:10,798
[Miss Moore] How are you?
And peace and love
to you also.
935
00:59:10,881 --> 00:59:12,633
[Sibil]
I’m sorry I’m late.
936
00:59:12,716 --> 00:59:14,718
[children chattering]
937
00:59:14,802 --> 00:59:17,721
We understand,
because you’re a busy lady.
938
00:59:17,805 --> 00:59:19,473
[boy] Hi.
939
00:59:19,556 --> 00:59:22,268
[Sibil] Hi. How you doing?
[children] Hi.
940
00:59:22,351 --> 00:59:24,270
Hi.
941
00:59:24,353 --> 00:59:26,063
You want to talk
to Daddy?
942
00:59:26,146 --> 00:59:28,649
[Sibil] No, he wanted
to talk to you.
943
00:59:30,150 --> 00:59:31,860
If you’re through talking,
give me the phone.
944
00:59:31,944 --> 00:59:34,113
No. I’m talking.
Yeah, here you go.
945
00:59:34,196 --> 00:59:37,241
Get that from him.
It’s my daddy.
946
00:59:37,324 --> 00:59:39,201
Here you go.
Thank you.
947
00:59:39,285 --> 00:59:40,494
Okay.
948
00:59:42,371 --> 00:59:46,792
[woman] It seems like
there is some kind of a need
949
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,920
or a compulsion that we feel
as individuals
950
00:59:50,004 --> 00:59:51,463
to rank people, right?
951
00:59:51,547 --> 00:59:53,632
To come up with
a ranking system.
952
00:59:53,716 --> 00:59:55,676
And so that is
the question that, uh,
953
00:59:55,759 --> 00:59:57,303
we are trying to
make sense of,
954
00:59:57,386 --> 00:59:59,805
is that,
is it an inevitable feature
955
00:59:59,888 --> 01:00:02,308
of human, uh, society?
956
01:00:02,391 --> 01:00:05,894
Even within a prison system,
among prisoners,
957
01:00:05,978 --> 01:00:08,397
where everybody is equal
958
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,233
in the sense of that they
have committed a crime,
959
01:00:11,317 --> 01:00:15,779
we nevertheless see there’s
a stratification system
that comes into place.
960
01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:47,019
[automated voice]
Quatre-vingt-douze.
961
01:00:48,103 --> 01:00:50,856
[slowly]
Quatre-vingt-douze.
962
01:00:53,442 --> 01:00:55,527
[regular speed]
Quatre-vingt-douze.
963
01:00:56,779 --> 01:00:58,739
Quatre-vingt-treize.
964
01:00:59,865 --> 01:01:01,408
[Sibil] It’s Thursday.
965
01:01:02,993 --> 01:01:06,872
His brother and his, um,
sister-in-law called last night
966
01:01:06,955 --> 01:01:08,749
and said that they had
some plumbing issue
967
01:01:08,832 --> 01:01:10,751
at their house this week
and their house flooded
968
01:01:10,834 --> 01:01:14,254
and that they were not gonna
be able to make it down.
969
01:01:14,338 --> 01:01:17,299
Uh, and I don’t have enough
people at Angola with him.
970
01:01:17,383 --> 01:01:18,967
Is that, like,
pushing you too far
971
01:01:19,051 --> 01:01:21,595
to ask for you
to be with him at Angola?
972
01:01:22,721 --> 01:01:26,266
Yes, sir.
You can make that one?
973
01:01:28,977 --> 01:01:31,480
Praise God.
You’re gonna make me shout.
974
01:01:32,022 --> 01:01:33,315
Thank you.
975
01:01:39,279 --> 01:01:41,323
[automated voice]
Quatre-vingt-quatorze.
976
01:01:44,785 --> 01:01:46,495
Quatre-vingt-quinze.
977
01:01:47,955 --> 01:01:50,374
Quatre-vingt-seize.
978
01:01:50,457 --> 01:01:52,876
"Je t’en prie."
979
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,545
[Justus]
"Je t’en prie"?
980
01:01:54,628 --> 01:01:56,755
Uh, it means
"you’re welcome."
981
01:01:56,839 --> 01:01:59,383
-Mm, you’re doing good.
-But informal.
982
01:01:59,466 --> 01:02:02,553
[Sibil]
"Comment ça s’éscrit?"
983
01:02:03,178 --> 01:02:04,847
"Comment ça s’éscrit?"
Uh, "how do you spell it?"
984
01:02:04,930 --> 01:02:06,640
"Comment ça s’éscrit?"
985
01:02:06,723 --> 01:02:08,308
Mm-hmm.
"Comment ça s’éscrit?"
986
01:02:08,809 --> 01:02:10,352
"Ça va?"
987
01:02:10,894 --> 01:02:12,521
"How is it going?"
988
01:02:12,604 --> 01:02:15,482
Okay, so this one is:
"Ça va."
989
01:02:15,566 --> 01:02:17,443
And then this one is,
"Comment ça va?"
990
01:02:17,526 --> 01:02:19,486
The thing about French
is how you say it.
991
01:02:19,570 --> 01:02:21,613
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
So "ça va,"
992
01:02:21,697 --> 01:02:24,283
in the question form, is,
"How are you doing?"
993
01:02:24,366 --> 01:02:27,619
But if you say,
like, "ça va,"
like, as a statement,
994
01:02:27,703 --> 01:02:29,329
it just means "good."
995
01:02:30,038 --> 01:02:32,207
So, like, if I was like,
"Ça va?"
996
01:02:32,291 --> 01:02:34,418
And you’d be like, "Ça va."
997
01:02:34,501 --> 01:02:36,753
Or you could say, uh...
"Good." Like, "You good"?
998
01:02:36,837 --> 01:02:38,881
Yeah, or you could say,
"Ça va bien. Et toi?"
999
01:02:38,964 --> 01:02:41,216
Like, "Doing well. And you?"
1000
01:02:41,300 --> 01:02:42,885
Boy, you learning
something.
1001
01:02:42,968 --> 01:02:44,386
Let me see.
Say that again.
I’m trying.
1002
01:02:44,470 --> 01:02:45,929
Say that again.
That’s sexy, boy.
1003
01:02:46,013 --> 01:02:47,639
Ça va bien. Et toi?
1004
01:02:47,723 --> 01:02:49,308
Ooh, you get to talking
