- After being wrongfully incarcerated at the age of 19, Lacino Hamilton fought to free himself through journalism, and by educating himself and his fellow prisoners.
Lacino Hamilton is a writer, thinker, and activist who was incarcerated for 26 years thanks to a wrongful conviction, and was exonerated in September 2020. For more information about his case, see “Ring of Snitches: How Detroit Police Slapped False Murder Convictions on Young Black Men.” After being sent to prison, he spent four of his first six years in solitary confinement. It was there that he began to read, think critically and distinguish between expressing a desire to change and demonstrating the ability to achieve it.

Clearing out an old house, I came across a Year Book dated 1961-1962,VCCC...Volusia County Community College, Daytona Beach Florida. This was a Black Vocational School that was birth in 1959, Before Integration. Black Advisory Committee; Black Board of Public Instruction; Black Administration; Black Faculty: Black Staff; Black Students. I knew a lot of these people growing up in my hometown that Graduated from Black Colleges and came back home to teach at VCCC so, this was amazing for me to see this part of our Local History...I Realized, we have regressed and it is hard to get back there because of Systemic Issues affecting the Afro Americans People. These People were the Educated Folks in our small town Community in Deland, 30 miles east of Daytona Beach. They were Teachers, Doctors, Adult Educators, Cosmetologists, that taught... Cosmetology, Masonry, Shoe Repair, Upholstery, Gas Installation, Electronics, Radio and Television Repair, Auto Mechanics, and, Practical Nursing. If you ask me...THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO GET BACK TOO...*VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS.
Collrge is a collasal scam. Colleges bang you ferocioysly for tuition and then give you a product that you cant use to get a job paying enough to retire your debt.
@@compassioncampaigner728 Vocational schools were different and from your picture, this was way before your time. I knew the people in the pictures, from the ones who were at the top to the students. There are only a very few around now but the People had Careers and Black Businesses were plentiful. I am working on a Mural now called "Inspirations of leadership" where I am Documenting History. I paint Portraits. Right now there should be a Campaign against the cost of Education and the Government needs to do something about that and bring back Vocational Schools, Fast tracking Programs.

I fully sgree.......l.earning a trade is routinely superior to 4 years of business sdministration or art history or poly sci
Among the trades TV & radio repair today is a "no go." HVAC is a much better pursuit.
Thank you for this amazing interview, because it hints at how many people in prison shouldn't be there at all, and highlights the importance of education in our lives.
Those police, prosecutors, and the judges must be put in prison for life.
I like when the interviewer says it it is a “criminal injustice system“. It is a capitalist competitive system that invites cheating.
He's right, abolishing prisons is crazy. Where would you put the people that wrongly jailed you for 30y?
So happy that you had the kind of men to guide you in prison. Your pain throughout your experience I hear you. Your mother so young, the failed system of foster care. I am grateful you had many mentors. You are another man of great inspiration as many. This discussion between the both of you all should hear, as many others. Chris Hedges, his example to help men in prisons by going to prisons to teach. Hang strong and continue to have all the connections that may help. Yes, many sections all over our country has been blown apart by the powers of GREED, and the disadvantaged placed in an unjust system. One day at a time, changes will come, we can only hope by those that care. Thank you both.❤️EDUCATION is the key 🔑It is not the of others that one should worry about, it is what we do that matters. We live with so many traumatized families. We must do better than this with new ideas 💡 You are being able to chart you life with the examples that understand empathy. Embrace love and pass it forward. The Capitalist system is corrupt, it was made that way. ❤️May I add, I support you and all those that are that are on this path of enlightenment.
Oh man, this is hard to take in. Just listening a few minutes at a time. Such an important topic, but heartbreaking.
If only there were a news organization out there to report on these thing BEFORE 29 years of life was wasted 🤔
Can all in left-YT please start educating people about both: (1) the difference between right-authoritarian vs. right-libertarian; & (2) the difference between left-authoritarian vs left-libertarian? It’s long overdue. People aren’t cattle or sheep: They will understand if we educate them.
Though we need to educate (& learn) about all the nuance.
This interview is yet another illustration of the waste of human potential caused by poverty and the criminal justice system.
Is comitting a crime a choice?
@@SKuLLxKruSHeR To a limited extent. But solid social data shows poverty and lack of education, job opportunities and health services are commensurate with increases in crime and social distress. It's kind of like when chickens are kept in awful conditions they can become cannibals, but in healthy conditions they are happy, peaceful egg layers...for want of a better analogy. But in the case of the USA it is also heavily over policed and criminalised because incarceration is a for profit industry. Nothing else explains why the US has 20% of the planet's incarcerated population but only 4.5% of the total global population. Unless Americans are just the biggest bunch of criminals on the planet, which I doubt...

Look !
A cop shoe licker.
Excellent, but what happens to these corrupt prosecuters and cops that set people up like this?
Excellent interview, most indeed. Being incarcerated when innocent, much worse for many years, now that is insane and incompetent governance. I wish Lacino well and for him to not be stigmatized after his wrongful conviction, imprisonment. I read at least one time during the 2000s about people who were wrongfully convicted remaining socially stigmatized after having been finally found to have been innocent all along, even when their innocence was publicly announced. The article or articles said that the social reputations of these victims was destroyed, badly damaged anyway. Etc.
Am happy for you know the truth and the truth will set you free much ❤️ to you my brother staying positive and prayed up kelelah
People go thru life pretending that this isn't happening. Humanity is a failure.
Humans unquestionably.........suck.
thank you
I am Semitic (part white,and Middle Eastern) and Jewish. On my mother's side 4th generation, or my father's 3rd generation (the generations that we have lived here. Each generation fought racism and religious hatred, sometimes with our lives. I am in my mid 60's and I would like to meet you. I have listened to your entire talk. I agree with most of what you said.I do believe certain people belong in prison although dead Charlie Manson belonged in prison. Socialism does not work mainly because some people are lazy and or greedy. I believe you have more to teach me than I can teach you. I like your use of mentors, I learned from the mentors that chose me and the mentors I chose (they finally taught me or I would have knocked on their door everyday)You can find me if you want to work together. I am on Facebook but I really have no idea how it works. Good luck in the future, and am truly sorry you spent 26 years inside. I really glad I wasn’t on that jury. Science helps even the odds,but were does the money come from. If every defendant had a court appointed attorney it would level the field a bit more. I here waiting on you
At the four minute mark I'm speculating that the kkkops will have broken laws and won't even be charged with that crime. Let's see how wrong I got it...
And if that is Huey and/or Bobby beyond the interviewer's left shoulder, I feel greater respect.
As a white man sitting here listening. I'm so glad this man here is out it's effing sad knowing the our whole system is broken for every culture from religion to race and what ever else. And by this man speaking maybe it will give others to speak up and all of us pull together and say hey enough is enough. If you want an example watch what happened this past weekend for the 9/11 whole bunch of diverse Truth seekers came together and spoke at different parts through out NY it was amazing #NYC91122
💪🐻❤️Thank God he still has youth. I can't! I can't live with the fact we have private prisons and elected Joe Biden! This is so upsetting
Maybe you know this already, I just find it an interesting glimpse of the brainwashing many Americans stuff. Myself too for a long time. People call CNN 'anti cop. Meanwhile, all corporate media exists to support the state. Cnn does it different from Fox, they gas light, and they ignore.. well, they ignore every thing you will see featured on this channel. And the few others like it. And the same thing goes for our leaders. There is no difference between the Right and the Left. You can read any comment section, go to any bar, and you will hear endless comments blaming Biden, blaming Trump. To varying degrees of accuracy, but they they are the same. They hold the same purpose. Joe Biden is an authoritarian Right Winger in a blue tie. Undeniably, by policy. All the "Left" presidents have been. And compared to the rest of the West, they are FAR Right. But what do you hear from people? "Joe Biden is communist! He is defunding the police. He hates police wants prisoners free!". Biden chose an ex cop as a running mate, wrote the crime bill, Biden just added 100k more cops. None of this unique, but it's maddening to look in recognizing THAT'S how indoctrinated so many of our neighbors are. They think the guy doing that, and pushing 0 change, 0 of his own policies, is a "communist cop hater". How as a country do we come back from that? From a public that believes Draco is too soft on crime, and McCarthy is a communist?
For sure, it's unbelievable-- but truth is stranger than fiction! It is scary knowing who's in charge, because it's the cabal of wealthy businessmen who took us over in the seventies, eighties and nineties in a slow coup. This simply means we are only powerful in numbers, and need to up those numbers with education which the Real News is doing, and doing well.
The private prisons were here long before Biden was president.....🤣🤣🤣
@Gina Cool your paying attention huh, very upsetting.
My advice: File Civil Liberty and
Civil Right Lawsuits..
Respect for Mr. Hamilton.
More people need to see this
Powerful!!!
File: Civil Liberty and Civil Right
Lawsuits to Police 👮👮♀️👮♂️
Prosecutors 👨💼👩💼🧑💼 and
Judges 👨⚖️👩⚖️🧑⚖️
Also the Police Unions..
The American justice and prison systems scare the fuck out of me all the way in England,
Hello and right you are
i wish all the best of the world to lacino hamilton keep your path to succes.
Sad that this had to be you walk in life but proud you came along the journey wealthier in wisdom, and understanding to decipher the game played of how its stacked so its so hard to ever win because of the cheating and deception being ingrained that that's just a part of what its all about. stay strong. (BE BLESSED) - a person would have to be blind not to see that prisons is a type of slavery and for profit prisons make it advantageous NOT to let you out.
HE LOOK EXACTLY LIKE EMMIT TILL
PRISONS ARE CREATED TO ENSLAVE AND TORTURE THE BLACK RACE :
Both of you two brothers are the most intelligent brothers I’ve heard in a very long time , it’s apparently seen that you both didn’t serve the time you let the time serve you both and it did very well !
Well said and well done , we can clearly understand you and learn a lot from you both . The most difficult men to understand out here in the public are the most educated , they’re the true criminals being those who created the prison industrial complex . And we know who we’re the intended victims in their minds , in creating such a torturous system .
These WS devils whose only aim is anti Black racism , and what goes around comes around . Unfortunately for them they’re gonna have a rue awakening one day , because what they did to others so shall it exponentially be likewise done unto them .
B1 . Amin and Shalom .
Cheap labor is what Prison is about.
I approve this message
Both of you gentleman impress the hell it of me. The most outstanding thing for me personally is that neither of you are tattoo'ed from the brow down. I have H U G E. respect. Good luck to you for the rest of your lives.
Inspirational
Thank you for this guys
As a white woman it’s easy to get an impression
Although it does really upset me how bias systems are health education prison etc.
It’s not only good to hear the point of view from people who have actually lived the situation it’s actually really important
There’s not much I can do to change things of course other than point people in the direction of good men like yourselves
I wish you and all your colleagues the very best
America
Great video
❤️
Transferring "influential" prisoners for the heinous act of educating others? If I didn't know better I'd think they took that initiative straight out of the plantation owner's handbook. /s
Great story

Popcorn is probably doing 20 ta life for having a half burnt roach in his Ashtray .
COMPASSION INTERFERES WITH PROSECUTION" PROSECUTORS ARE NOT COMPASSIONATE , IF THEY WERE THEIR WOULD BE NO PROSECUTION. EVERY STATE THAT DOES THIS TO A PERSON IS IN DEPT TO THEM.
Looks too complicated...
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, 🚩🚩🚩except as a punishment for crime 🚩🚩🚩 HERE'S UR SIGN! Funny how they used identity politics to drive that one home too. This is not a new thing, if only people would wake up and see the real game.
Braveman weve seen it docs4justice PERSECUTION by
Doh
STOP BLOCKING PEOPLE YOU 🙉🙊s
That's certainly an unconventional means of implementing gentrification.
Is that a stripper pole in the background 👀
Very important when innocent prisoners have been incarcerated,they must keep their nose clean,yes sir no sir.just say under your breath fk u screw. Whilst in prison get your head in books,use the prison system,to better yourself.they will never be released by abusing the staff,some of those are rats.we have one prisoner in uk that has been in jail for 50 years he has killed no one,his behaviour in prison the time has been added on,he is not type of prisoner that will wipe no screw ass.he wouldn’t think twice to kicking the screws ass. Only one way out work your way out,never let them win.
My heart bresks that this injustice continues.
I despise the D As and cops and judges involved
Blaming Forster care and all that. You should blame your parents!!!!!
His mother was 13yrs old when she had him. Most likely poor, and she gave him up for adoption. And then he end up in foster care. He said, that he had a bad experience in foster care. We know everyone that deals with foster children are not bad.
@@kaosduval8503 like I said his parents are to blame!!!!!
@@laqueenawilliams4762 13yrs old child. Ok. She did give him up for adoption so it's still the mother fault? So, now that Roe is overturn it will be alot more cases like this one. (Like the case in Florida). The foster system is fuck up. I'm also a foster child so DONT tell me who fault it is. Thats awesome you have great parents, and good upbring 👏👏👏. Everyone is not that fortunate. The system is fuck up. Both the justice & DCS. But I broke the cycle. ✌✌✌
LaQueena that is ridiculous. When your parents are minor children, blame has nowhere to land.

They want to destroy your soul. And couldn't. God's speed gentlemen.
I'm pretty sure every inmate is innocent if you ask them
Evidently some, however, are truly innocent.
@@gracieg5849 great post 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I'd like to get your perspective on a very unknown travesty, alive and well throughout the prison system, known as the INMATE FUND. Its very likely to me that your exposure to the inner workings of the penal system, your talks w/ inmates very familiar w/ the improprieties within the prison system would have informed you if this. I'd like to open up communication to discuss what I know about this crooked FUND. PS CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR RELEASE.DJ
