00:00We didn't join the Corps because we felt like it.

00:07We joined because it was a life decision.

00:10We wanted to live by a code, sir.

00:13And we found it in the Corps.

00:16A lot of prisoners acting all day.

00:18You put on personas and you're not going to take any shit from anybody.

00:22People saw me as a wolf, so I was a wolf.

00:24But then when the people in RTA saw me as a man,

00:28I had to be a man.

00:30We have to be honest about everything that this is.

00:34We're not innocent. We've wronged people.

00:36And that has to be acknowledged.

00:38For a long time, I was a full-grown man.

00:41But I wasn't a man. And I thought I was.

00:44Because I was living by codes and rules and regulations

00:48that were given to me by the streets.

00:51I wish that I had not killed him.

00:55We robbed drug dealers.

00:57That was my thing.

00:59I committed a crime. I got 25 to life.

01:01I know I've changed a lot,

01:03but I also know that somebody has to pay for what happened to that person.

01:07There are individuals who mentored me,

01:09and I stand on their shoulders, and I'm representing them, too.

01:12I'm telling you where to go. I'm doing this.

01:14You gotta get it. You know it.

01:16He began to improvise, and I didn't know what he was doing.

01:19Smash that. That does not exist anymore.

01:21I knew that that wasn't in the play.

01:23You put people's lives in danger.

01:25And I'm just like, sweet dreams, son.

01:27Don't call me son.

01:29Here you get the G. I know you can do it.

01:31That night, I was like, yo, man,

01:33that's the same thing that cost me my freedom.

01:35You're under arrest, you son of a bitch.

01:37Everybody needs something, you know, to help them in life.

01:41For me, I have RTA.

01:43It's like you have brothers.

01:44Let's go.

01:45It's me and my gang.

01:46I said I don't need an attorney.

01:48Yes, sir.

01:49Do you ever lay down at night

01:50reflecting back on your life and all the foul stuff you did?

01:53Hearing voices in your head like,

01:54brother, you ain't shh.

01:56That's the sound of your self-accusing spirit.

01:58It's a beautiful sign if you can hear it.

02:00I'm grateful that I came into contact with RTA.

02:03I'm grateful that I did take this opportunity

02:05to grow into the man that I'm supposed to be.

02:08And I'm grateful for the opportunity

02:09to get some things accomplished when I leave.

02:12I'm trying to defend the nation.

02:15All you did here today was weaken the country.

02:18That's all you did.

02:20Criminals are heroes.

02:21They're warriors.

02:22Criminals are heroes, sir.

02:24They're heroes.

02:25We're being tested.

02:27It's better to be loved and respected

02:30than it is to be feared.

02:32You go back to your cell,

02:33but it's like you ain't in your cell no more.

02:35It's like you suspended for a minute.

02:38Are you saying it's not possible

02:40for this court to hear the truth?

02:42I got a lot of apprehension about leaving prison.

02:45A lot of times, you know,

02:46they hate God for the nature of the crime,

02:49and they just keep hitting God.

02:51You can't handle it, son.

02:53You can't handle the truth.

02:55So for anybody who questions

02:56why should we have a program like RTA,

02:58they need to understand the mission statement of DOC.

03:01It's not just to punish us.

03:02It's also to make us a better fit for society.

03:04It's programs like RTA that does that job.

03:07There are a few good men in here.

03:09There's a few good men in here

03:11that's trying to be men.

03:14One gate away.
