  • 00:00 to (click 6:40 ) The story on how i came up with the idea of using music in my new protocol! For People who are not used to listening, go directly to the dance at (click 6:40 ), you might get bored with some serious stuff! This is just a reminder to some retards who comments on how long the story went!
    This was my 3rd last dance concept before politics got in the way of my redemptive rehabilitation program sometime February of 2010. I dunno what happened to the inmates well being after that. They continued with the dancing minus my philosophy. Such a waste.

    I am so impressed with Byron Garcia and the dancing inmates. It has brought unity where there was strife and division. This really should be the direction of the future for rehabilitation.

    This method of rehabilitating prisoners is so much better than harsh punishment because it is teaching them how to enjoy life and gives them happiness and support.

    Today I gave a speech for a class about how to improve prisons here in America and half the speech was about you guys. Thank you so much for your work, you have inspired so many people here in America. My father works in a maximum security prison here and I think I'll try to get them to do it there.

      I hope you will. I'm Filipino working in medical fields with hard core Inmates sometimes. As a Human Being I don't like the Idea of Chuckles in bed...yes they are hard core, dangerous but looking at this method of Rehabilitating a Human Being is Way better than treating them like an Animal.

      @@maayongaga729 AS an international prisoner advocate for OVER 35 YEARS... THIS is exactly what I've BEEN SAYING! Ppl don't even realize that in the US...it's NOT supposed to be a punitive system but a rehabilative one by its own definition AND original guidelines JUST SO YOU KNOW. BUT what happened is that in the 1970s and the 1980s they changed the public's perception OF how crime is to be viewed here AND how the system is supposed to work. But in reality most of the actual written rules hsvdny changed but the general population doesn't know what rights they have AND neither does their families to help fight for them while they're inside. THERE ACTUALLY IS AN INTERNATIONAL PRISONER COALITION. YUP. There is also a PRISONER FAMILY BILL OF RIGHTS. Ppl are unaware of that and these jails AND prisons sure the fuck aren't gonna tell them about it. The main thing that changed the perception of the system and introduced the practice of throwing away the keys aspect of our system here was mostly thru the NON existent War On Drugs. Just so you and others know...crime WAS on the decline fitting that timeframe if you look at the DOJ stats. Also the difference in sentencing structure between cocaine and crack cocaine was a direct shot at lower income communities and it was a direct shot at people of color. It never went after the person who was caught buying it half as hard as it did the dealer. Part of that was that the buyer had money for a BETTER ATTY. A poor person IS a slam dunk for a prosecutor and that's how they move up the ranks quicker by their records of convictions. I've STILL got guys inside for robberies and bullshit drug charges FROM BACK IN THE 1980S OK?
