LIFERS GROUP “Living Proof” dropped 28 years ago. This group was made up of all men serving serving life sentences. Prior to this in the 70s they started the "Scared Straight" program. The group was started by Maxwell Melvins. “The group wanted to demythologize the romanticism of prison”(that was a quote from the LA times) This was probably one of the most important shoots I had the honor of capturing. I learned recently that Maxwell Melvin had been released in 2011 🦾#mikemillerphoto #LIFERSGROUP #maxwellmelvins #rahwayprison #disneyrecords #1993 #film #scaredstraight #hiphophistory #hiphop (at Rahway State Prison) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQs_GO8nRYPYpOUv58TmJvwarXtZVph5P-AuQ80/?utm_medium=tumblr

Maxwell Melvins:SUPPORT @DIEJIMCROW TODAY. KICKSTARTER IS LIVE. (LINK IN BIO). You may already know the numbers. There are a lot of people in US prisons. 2.3 million. World leader in incarceration. 700% increase in prison population since 1970. 80,000 people in solitary confinement. 4.4 million people on probation or parole. People of color most disproportionately affected. The “land of the free” is 5% of the global population. Yet we hold 25% of the world’s population.@diejimcrow @diejimcrow @blshirelle #lifersgroup @kwabenantim #endmassincarceration #schooltoprisonpipeline #schoolsnotprison #justiceforall #socialjusticeactivist #prisonart #prisonreform #musicproducer #musicsaveslives #saveouryouth @videomusicbox #helpingothers #changingthenarrative #blacktalkradio #musicians https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Kbps4ndE1/?igshid=18hcsmn32lsuh
