Yep he went as a kid and came out as a kid mentally... His life stopped at the age he went in and stayed there when he was exonerated...his brain has to catch up with his age..
@MOLO UNTAMED I agree. I think if the show was being accurate about Korey's time in solitary (and the real Korey seems to feel like the show was done accurately), then he must have really kept his happy childhood memories close to survive the solitude and loneliness and to stay sane.
teetee me I was just talkin to my mom about this today when she came home and I said that too after all these years non still never got an apology and that’s fucked up💯😢💔and after finally watching part 4 today that shit was really tripping me out and breaking my heart so bad😰😪like When They See Us is one of the saddest shows I’ve ever watched😔😔
Apology is not enough. I see huge flaw in the justice system. A root cause analysis should be done to make sure this never happen again. The cops, the prosecutors and the system should pay for what they did. Compensation should come from the who made this error happen instead of normal citizens.
I should not have binged this show. It was so heartbreaking, I could hardly sleep after watching it. The worst part, is that nothing has changed since this case. Nothing.
Same here...i found myself seeing difference scences in my sleep getting anxiety taking deep breaths, crying, and smiling at my 3 year old son lying next to me....im drained the day after (today) but definitely a must watch
It’s crazy to me how young they were! Id heard the story before but I thought they were older (of course that wouldn’t make it better) but the fact that they didn’t see these children as children, really makes me fear for my own.
AfroAngola - The Emmy deadline was 05/31 - so they just got it in right under the wire - so the series is eligible for Emmys, SAG and Golden Globes consideration and it will get nominated No Doubt. A true ensemble effort!
I love hearing black stories from black ppl about black ppl made by black ppl. Ava did an amazing job (as expected) and Niecy Nash did great. And these boys deserve an Emmy nom. 💛💛💛
When Jherrol spoke about Korey Wise trapped in that 16 year old boy mindset and trying to keep it.. man, trying to hold on to his last time of innocence
@@loveafrica97 korey seemed to already be behind. Struggled with reading etc. He had the most trauma as well. He wasn't even there. So it probably broke him the most
Anna F. I honestly think Korey is special needs. Remember this was in the 80s and he was low income so his mother probably didn’t have the funds to get him check out. Hell according to the film she didn’t have funds to put on his books.
Very hard to watch, makes you want to loose faith in humanity. All these boys and young men did amazing jobs Jesus, I am sure the roles they played forever impacted the actors too. I just can’t with this story, this should be shown and told everywhere.
I cry and try to hold it in so I knew I wasnt the only one and I hope this allow America to see the ugly true of this Justice system, whites and blacks
I'm STILL crying... Not only for this story (which is definitely heart-wrenching) but for every "Korey" lost in an unjust system with no one to speak out for him, for the "Koreys" that never recover and for reality that at any given moment anyone of us can become "Korey" because just being black is all the ammunition that they need to try and destroy us. I feel so defeated right now but I'll die with a smile on my face before I live in fear or teach my children to bow down to the tyranny of a corrupt and unjust system...
When I watched the series and it said “why they doing us like this?” And one answered “what other way they ever do us?” That hit really hard cause history really never changes.
Goosebumps😭😭😭 I can't even bring myself to watch it. I was crying from the trailer. The fact that this is real and happened and continues to happen is beyond heart breaking.
...PAUSE. Teenage and adult Korey Wise were played by the same actor???? I thought i was looking at 2 different actors. Give the makeup artist an Emmy. Give Jerome an Emmy. Give the whole entire series an EMMY !!
All these kids are sooo mature and played the roles sooo well it’s hard to even look at them as actors. Jharrel Jerome is definitely a stand out. He did soooo well my goodness!
Everyone in the comment section talking about how jherrol Jerome did an amazing job but what about the other actors??? They all KILLED their roles and we should give props to them 👏🏾👏🏾
...just like the real Central Park 5 nearly killed Trisha Meili. "Vacated" doesn't mean innocent, dipshit. How did Trisha Meili get multiple size handprints PHOTOGRAPHED on her body? Why did all medical reports indicate multiple assailants? Why did all these kids admit in front of their parents that they did it? The cops couldn't have created this narrative because Trisha Meili was still alive and unconscious and as far as the cops knew her memory of the event was completely intact. If she woke up and said 5 blue eyed Swedish guys did it the cops would be exposed and arrested themselves. The cops were completely aware well before she woke up they had the right criminals. The fact that years later DNA revealed a 6th guy was involved in no way exonerates the first 5. They are guilty.
@Mike Steves bruh why are you here? get your white ass out you know nothing. hope your little racist brain rots until you got nothing more to say. all i see is nonsense shut the fuck up.
The acting in "when they see us" was phenomenal & breathtaking like i teared up from part one through part four it really took me through every little emotion possible.😭im actually speechless because no words could describe the intensity of this movie when they see us they automatically see "guilty"! & when they see white they automatically link it with "innocence". the prison scenes with cory wise was hard to watch like my stomach was turning dealing with his storyline but all this black excellence made me happy.✊🏾💯💕
They are closet racists. Like in the days of lynching, they don't see Black people as human. So, it doesn't matter to them what happens to Black people. If CP5 were White, the same person would have spent 85K on ads demanding their release. And if the jogger had been Black, they would have vilified her - she met up with her drug dealer in the park and got killed in a fight; she asked for it, going there at night; she must have been a prostitute etc. See how they pamper White school shooters? Even when apprehended with a gun, they don't treat them the way they did the CP5. Structural racism and inequality.
What’s wrong with Americans is they think they have control of the country when y’all don’t, didn’t Hillary win majority of votes but he got voted in some other way 🙄🙄
Hello Hello people are evil. in my country, a few years back, an immigrant were burned with a molotov cocktail by 4 white boys and I remember people creating support groups for the 4 boys and portraying the victim as a boy who bullied people at his school. shits crazy.
Dascha polanca, she was in orange is the new black. She was also in the assassination of gianni versace. Good actress, but yeah her character was horrible in this!
When you go to jail at a very young age and spend a long amount of time in there you really don’t get older mentally, so I understood what Jharrel was saying about Korey and his situation .The age you go in jail is the age you stop growing mentally 🤦🏾♀️ I feel bad for korey ,he really got his childhood stolen from him
So hard for me to watch but it opened my eyes further to the importance of knowing our rights. These young men did an AMAZING job! I’m going around reading articles and learning more about what happened and behind the scenes.
@@duckydarkstar38 right! Like these children and their parents had their rights literally ripped away from them when they knew what they were. This is not about "knowing your rights". It's about race, injustice and the fucked up system.
Berdy SaintCyr yeah it brought tears but also knowledge! I‘m from Germany and I had never heard of this case. I am glad these kind of movies/series are produced to show real people’s stories.
OMG...Korey...PART 4...I suffered thru JUST WATCHING it. I can’t even imagine. Heartbreaking. Yes, they were financially compensated, but no dollar amount could ever make up for the childhood lost and the trauma endured. I’m happy to read that they r all alive and as well as could be at least. 🙏🏽 to them all and their loved ones. P.S. Salute to Ava and all of the actors/actresses for their amazing performances to convey the emotions of the actual CP5 and their families. I felt like I was watching a documentary with the actual boys instead of those who were cast. #oscaremmytonyandanyotherawardoutthereforJharrelJerome!!!
They were compensated but nyc never apologies and papers never gave them the same coverage they did when they were teens. A simple sorry was all they wanted but they rather give them 41 million. Sad
Binged the whole thing at 1 in the morning and let me just tell you that by the end I cried so much my bed sheets were literally soaked in tears and my eyes hurt so much I couldn't keep them open. I spent the first 50 minutes of the last episode just crying nonstop. Such a touching series that was executed so well by Ava and the actors 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I have never been so changed after watching something. These young men did a phenomenal job! Korey, Yusef, Kevin, Antron & Raymond the system failed you in a horrible and disgusting way but your experience isn't in vain. As a mother of 2 black boys my job to protect them and educate them won't be faltered. And JHARREL sirrrr you touched my entire soul ❤️
You can tell that Korey was scared, yet he still kept his truth and stayed through the abuse. My respect goes to him ten times more. If he lied and came out, he would not have had contact with the real killer. The truth would have been buried forever. They all would have been out with the label over their heads for the rest of their lives. He may not have been the most educated out of the five but he had the perseverance of a lion. To withstand his physical abuse and then to battle his own mind was a lot. It is unfortunate that they all were placed in the situation in the first place, but now Korey's voice is heard and I pray that this can pave a way for the those who are still innocent in the system, and that the black community, as well as the white, can do something about this. As for the linda lady. Her profits should be donated to these boys and others who've experienced this. Only then, I would buy her book.. Maybe not to read it but as a reminder of how pathetic she is and how these boys overcame this. I really can't believe some people in this world.
@@shermssx70 because his family was completely broken. Watch the special with them and Oprah. He was never able to forgive his dad for basically telling him to go along with the story and then leaving... Honestly I don't think I would either. I can't tell what was more heartbreaking to watch - the series or the interview with the real 5.
So this has forced me to do more research on the case of the Central Park Five, particularly Korey Wise because it's so much that is missing from his story. I was so touched my part 4. I cried too mostly from Mr. Wise story. This was so horrific for these guys at the at of 14 thru 16 years of age. However, Korey wise suffered so much pain in the prison at 16 and all his innocence was trapped in those walls in the holes of prison. Today it seems he suffers from PTSD and other illnesses that may not have a name yet because everyone in prison took advantage of him for being naive and 16. As Jharrell says here, that it's hard for the real Korey Wise because he is still trapped in his 16 year old mindset. That's make the pain even greater. I have one question, what happened to the officers at the first and second prison that let those guys beat that kid until he was bleeding and passed out? Did they go to prison, do they owe him financially for what he suffered under their direction? Did they apologize? Why we haven't exposed them more?
jadavision, Ava mentioned that everyone all the people who were portrayed in the movie were told or informed they would be casted etc. I don’t know if those officers were contacted but she did research on most of the cops who were instrumental in the case and nothing happened to them. Basically they weren’t held accountable for anything they did so it just shows you nobody was held accountable which makes me very angry. Those cops and prosecution advanced their careers by throwing away 5 innocent lives into hell on earth. And the real perpetrator assaulted 2 more women afterwards. Look at how many lives and families were impacted by the cops and prosecutors.
@@katlap3101 Just amazing that this happened, even when found innocent the people who broke the law to get this guys convicted, did not receive any punishment for their wrong doing. Justice has not been served.
jadavision, no and I hope they go after the prosecutor. She needs to be held accountable for what she had done. She is receiving backlash now but that not enough. I can’t even begin to tell you but I am sure you feel it too how wrong this whole system is for allowing this to happen.
Kat Lap On top of that, it seems (according to the film) their parents were being fired from jobs or couldn’t get one due to the case. They should also be compensated for last wages!
Lauren Cameron, I am not surprised this cases consumed their lives. We are not told everything yet, I hope more things come to light with this being in the spotlight again. Lauren, this was not right on so many levels.
I'm honestly happy they didn't get a different person to play korey as a adult. I really loved Jharrel role as the child and he played the adult role astonishing
The way Jharrel speaks about Kory is so true. He did a phenomenal job portraying him but his observation on how he's still finding himself and his youth is valid. Wow, so powerful and I hope he heals. I pray for all of their healing. Man. You boys did an unspeakable job.
Anybody else was sobbing their eyes out. I cannot believe I made it thru all 4 parts. Bravo to the young men portraying the roles and to the actual men who went thru this tragedy many more blessing to u🙏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Shout out to Ava!!! Thanks lady for bringing this out once again, so many years later after the last documentary! Such a great documentary and casting!!! My heart breaks for these men!
Jharrel did an outstanding job on his performance, down to the gestures, face expressions and speech. He was on point. They all did amazing telling the story. This was real eye opener when it comes to knowing your rights👏🏾
Talented young brothers! Truly! I have never shedded tears watching anything until this multi-part series. These young men did an amazing job connecting me to each character.
Seeing them play that trailer again before the interview got me trigger all over again!! Parts 1& 4 were toooouuughhhhh man I had to keep taking breaks, especially for 4 man shout out to these AH-MAZING actors and to the actual men that had to endure these i injustices
These men did an incredible job portraying the real men who endured this tragedy. They are also incredibly well spoken and this interviewer did a great job!
Yeah Jharrel Jerome better win all the awards. I can see him cast soon in a DC or Marvel role as Static, Aqualad, Miles Morales, or Power Man/Victor Alvarez
This show was soo emotional enraging and sooo sad, it had me in tears the whole time. They done these boys sooo bad u have to think were is the humanity in this world
These young men did a phenomenal job with this piece. I was angry up until the point of Korey's part at the end, at that point I just cried. Halfway through the series though, when they were all getting out and Korey wasn't...I just wondered where he was...and then part 4 hit.

Jharrel Jerome should be winning a Emmy for part 4.
He was Heartbreaking 💔
OMG!!! I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it. 😭
Absolutely. His performance was heartbreaking. I cried the entire way through part 4. This whole show was incredibly well done.
I can't even think about his performance without crying. Stunning, heartbreaking, powerful.
I agree, part 4 made me cry so much but the part that got me the most was every time he would cry out for his mom :(
Jherrol Jerome playing both the child and adult Korey.. wooo chileee
Bodied it!!!
@@DunDone_IT5252 episode 4 bodied me 😢
I didn't even realized it was the same actor. He did a great job.
@@carmindi5061 lol I kinda notice because when he got transferred, it had the same haircut and I thought he was de-aging for sec
How df did he do both?
his voice crack when he says “ i didn’t see any lady , what lady ? “ breaks me 🥺❤️
Me too. Oh my god
taylor givans yes moe ... that hurts 😖
Gurlllll 😢😢😢
Yessssss 🥺 and when he said I lied on you
taylor givans i. Wanted to cry just hearing tht
The fact that the actor says he can still see 16 yr old Korey in the adult Korey speaks volumes about the trauma.
Sharda Barnes Amen! That statement further broke me!
I started to cry... again. Shit I can't stop.
Yep he went as a kid and came out as a kid mentally... His life stopped at the age he went in and stayed there when he was exonerated...his brain has to catch up with his age..
@MOLO UNTAMED I agree. I think if the show was being accurate about Korey's time in solitary (and the real Korey seems to feel like the show was done accurately), then he must have really kept his happy childhood memories close to survive the solitude and loneliness and to stay sane.
JHARELL JEROME DESERVES AN EMMY
Agreed! That man acted his ass off!
Sydney Arianna and an Oscar
*An Emmy needs Jharrel*.
Sara C. Oscars are for movies not shows
Yes, this movie should have been in the movie theater for everyone to watch their story. Jharell did an amazing job.
Till this day none of them apologized to these young men...none of them. Mordern day slavery...

Exactly
Apology is not enough. I see huge flaw in the justice system. A root cause analysis should be done to make sure this never happen again. The cops, the prosecutors and the system should pay for what they did. Compensation should come from the who made this error happen instead of normal citizens.
they BODIED their roles 👏🏽
They all did but Jharrel Jerome was phenomenal as Korey 🙌😭
d Mal_222 had me fucked up during part 4 😭
@@sanayprince3002 so fucked up. I cried the whole time
Every last one of them did their thing! Episode 4, was brilliant!
Too soon 😅😅
Bro the last episode when korey yells nobody cares about him and the cop hugs him made me cryyyy
That scene had me sobbing like a baby with chills and heartache.
It hurt so bad 😢 I felt that bc everything that he had been going through, I could imagine thats how he truly felt.
right. when he sister died and the cop wanted to make sure he’s “okay” that really fked me up 😢😢😢
I cried that scene as well

When Jherrol spoke about Korey Wise trapped in that 16 year old boy mindset and trying to keep it.. man, trying to hold on to his last time of innocence
Yes I cried! It's so true their minds stopped at the age they were when they entered the system and picked up at the same age when they got out...

I just said the same exact thing
Jenhaul Transports They got 16 Emmy nominations!!! 🙌🏾👑‼️❤️
Update: Jharrel Jerome won! 😌🙌🏾‼️👑
Who else cried during every episode?! 😭
Blacklivesmatter I was a complete wreck on Episode 4.
I think cried is an understatement. I weaped for Korey and his mother in part 4.
I could not watch it after the interrogation,I was so mad even with my boyfriend who is white 😀😀😀.i cried so hard
Blacklivesmatter I didn’t but I sure *MAD ASF!*
I'm STILL crying... Not only for this story (which is definitely heart-wrenching) but for every "Korey" lost in an unjust system with no one to speak out for him, for the "Koreys" that never recover and for reality that at any given moment anyone of us can become "Korey" because just being black is all the ammunition that they need to try and destroy us.
I feel so defeated right now but I'll die with a smile on my face before I live in fear or teach my children to bow down to the tyranny of a corrupt and unjust system...
When I watched the series and it said “why they doing us like this?” And one answered “what other way they ever do us?” That hit really hard cause history really never changes.
Goosebumps😭😭😭
I can't even bring myself to watch it. I was crying from the trailer. The fact that this is real and happened and continues to happen is beyond heart breaking.

Absolutely stunning performances by all of these young men. I hope they all get recognized for this story.
If Jharrel Jherome doesn’t get an Emmy I’m gonna SNAPPPP
Candice Farinde PERIODT
Candice Farinde unfortunately he can’t because he’s a Netflix actor but I freaking wish
Nah we gonna sue dem fuckinnn emmy
Bugga Boo He got nominated! So did Asante!
He won
this interviewer did a great job, i can tell he actually watched n cried with the rest of us. the boys did an amazing job
This show brought nothing but tears 😭😔😭😔😭😭😔
Berdy SaintCyr yeah it brought tears but also knowledge! I‘m from Germany and I had never heard of this case. I am glad these kind of movies/series are produced to show real people’s stories.
OMG...Korey...PART 4...I suffered thru JUST WATCHING it. I can’t even imagine. Heartbreaking. Yes, they were financially compensated, but no dollar amount could ever make up for the childhood lost and the trauma endured. I’m happy to read that they r all alive and as well as could be at least. 🙏🏽 to them all and their loved ones.
P.S. Salute to Ava and all of the actors/actresses for their amazing performances to convey the emotions of the actual CP5 and their families. I felt like I was watching a documentary with the actual boys instead of those who were cast. #oscaremmytonyandanyotherawardoutthereforJharrelJerome!!!
They were compensated but nyc never apologies and papers never gave them the same coverage they did when they were teens. A simple sorry was all they wanted but they rather give them 41 million. Sad
Binged the whole thing at 1 in the morning and let me just tell you that by the end I cried so much my bed sheets were literally soaked in tears and my eyes hurt so much I couldn't keep them open. I spent the first 50 minutes of the last episode just crying nonstop. Such a touching series that was executed so well by Ava and the actors 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Lechatnocternal same when I woke my eyes were swollen from crying
@@roshawnagordon Yeah and they literally kept watering up on their own for a day
Roshawna Gordon omg my name is Roshawna too. Spelt the same exact way and everything. I’ve never seen someone with the exact spelling before.
@@jodi22ful same! It's so rare seeing someone else with the same name
All these men did such a great job !!! Anybody else felt more connected to korey ? 🥺 I definitely did
"Left to rot"...every black parent should sit with their sons and watch this film and discuss what took place.
And White ones too. It's time for change. Evil flourishes where good people do nothing.
I’m afraid to watch this with my son but I know he needs to see this film.
they were struggling to stay sane and alive while their age mates were going to the prom etc
Everyone needs to see this series, we need change in this world! I cried a lot watching it...broke my heart.
I have never been so changed after watching something. These young men did a phenomenal job! Korey, Yusef, Kevin, Antron & Raymond the system failed you in a horrible and disgusting way but your experience isn't in vain. As a mother of 2 black boys my job to protect them and educate them won't be faltered. And JHARREL sirrrr you touched my entire soul ❤️
these young men portrayed their characters really well. I also agree that John Leguizamo needs some awards he has so much work under his belt.
All of these young man did an amazing job. Wish them nothing but abundance and prosperity 💜😍
These kids are gonna make it so far
In life!! God bless them!
These young men did such a phenomenal job in When They See Us, proud of these brothers.
You can tell that Korey was scared, yet he still kept his truth and stayed through the abuse. My respect goes to him ten times more. If he lied and came out, he would not have had contact with the real killer. The truth would have been buried forever. They all would have been out with the label over their heads for the rest of their lives. He may not have been the most educated out of the five but he had the perseverance of a lion. To withstand his physical abuse and then to battle his own mind was a lot. It is unfortunate that they all were placed in the situation in the first place, but now Korey's voice is heard and I pray that this can pave a way for the those who are still innocent in the system, and that the black community, as well as the white, can do something about this.
As for the linda lady. Her profits should be donated to these boys and others who've experienced this. Only then, I would buy her book.. Maybe not to read it but as a reminder of how pathetic she is and how these boys overcame this. I really can't believe some people in this world.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I agree with everything you said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yess 🙌🏻
These roles have changed these young men. They will all be great!
I cried the whole time.. Just not fair.. when will we be equal?
Never 💯
@@Brikole 💯💯💯💯
We are in my eyes
korey & antron had it the worst man 😔 the justice system failed them all bruh 😖
why Antron?
@@shermssx70 because his family was completely broken. Watch the special with them and Oprah. He was never able to forgive his dad for basically telling him to go along with the story and then leaving... Honestly I don't think I would either. I can't tell what was more heartbreaking to watch - the series or the interview with the real 5.
So this has forced me to do more research on the case of the Central Park Five, particularly Korey Wise because it's so much that is missing from his story. I was so touched my part 4. I cried too mostly from Mr. Wise story. This was so horrific for these guys at the at of 14 thru 16 years of age. However, Korey wise suffered so much pain in the prison at 16 and all his innocence was trapped in those walls in the holes of prison. Today it seems he suffers from PTSD and other illnesses that may not have a name yet because everyone in prison took advantage of him for being naive and 16. As Jharrell says here, that it's hard for the real Korey Wise because he is still trapped in his 16 year old mindset. That's make the pain even greater.
I have one question, what happened to the officers at the first and second prison that let those guys beat that kid until he was bleeding and passed out? Did they go to prison, do they owe him financially for what he suffered under their direction? Did they apologize? Why we haven't exposed them more?
jadavision, Ava mentioned that everyone all the people who were portrayed in the movie were told or informed they would be casted etc. I don’t know if those officers were contacted but she did research on most of the cops who were instrumental in the case and nothing happened to them. Basically they weren’t held accountable for anything they did so it just shows you nobody was held accountable which makes me very angry. Those cops and prosecution advanced their careers by throwing away 5 innocent lives into hell on earth. And the real perpetrator assaulted 2 more women afterwards. Look at how many lives and families were impacted by the cops and prosecutors.
@@katlap3101 Just amazing that this happened, even when found innocent the people who broke the law to get this guys convicted, did not receive any punishment for their wrong doing. Justice has not been served.
jadavision, no and I hope they go after the prosecutor. She needs to be held accountable for what she had done. She is receiving backlash now but that not enough. I can’t even begin to tell you but I am sure you feel it too how wrong this whole system is for allowing this to happen.
Kat Lap On top of that, it seems (according to the film) their parents were being fired from jobs or couldn’t get one due to the case. They should also be compensated for last wages!
Lauren Cameron, I am not surprised this cases consumed their lives. We are not told everything yet, I hope more things come to light with this being in the spotlight again. Lauren, this was not right on so many levels.
Jharrel Jerome definitely deserves an award, his skills are amazing. ❤️
I'm honestly happy they didn't get a different person to play korey as a adult. I really loved Jharrel role as the child and he played the adult role astonishing
The way Jharrel speaks about Kory is so true. He did a phenomenal job portraying him but his observation on how he's still finding himself and his youth is valid. Wow, so powerful and I hope he heals. I pray for all of their healing. Man. You boys did an unspeakable job.
My goodness. Can we talk about how incredibly intelligent these guys are? My goodness.
Cardion Don ikr?!??!?!
the cast is so well spoken i love them and they’ve done such a great job. literally breathtaking.
Anybody else was sobbing their eyes out. I cannot believe I made it thru all 4 parts. Bravo to the young men portraying the roles and to the actual men who went thru this tragedy many more blessing to u🙏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

GOOD CALL 👍🏾
@@mfontaine7467 thanks
Jharrel Jerome as Miles Morales would be amazing
@@bruceturnbull4219 Thanks
I feel sum type of way knowing I didn’t know about the Central Park 5 until the show😤🤧
this was definitely a great story that needed to be told. I shed M A N Y tears watching this show, especially the 4th episode during Korey’s story
It was so heartbreaking to watch 😭 I cried the entire time
You can FEEL how connected these actors are
5 talented, intelligent boys, you love to see it!!!
This show was soo emotional enraging and sooo sad, it had me in tears the whole time. They done these boys sooo bad u have to think were is the humanity in this world
And even sadder to think that there are many more in the prison system right now.
The entire cast was spot on! 😢✊🏽
These young men did a phenomenal job with this piece. I was angry up until the point of Korey's part at the end, at that point I just cried. Halfway through the series though, when they were all getting out and Korey wasn't...I just wondered where he was...and then part 4 hit.
