00:03:25You
00:03:39You know who I am
00:03:42So I'm here to ask you a few questions. My name is Carmen Reyes, and I've been appointed as your public defender
00:03:49this is
00:03:50for the record
00:03:53On a scale of zero to four, how would you rate how you're feeling today? I'm okay
00:04:01Your mood my mood yes, I don't understand. Are you feeling angry depressed anxious?
00:04:10feeling okay, I
00:04:13Keep asking for water. They don't bring me water with all my meals and a blanket. It's only a sheet
00:04:21Um, so let's go from zero to four, how would you rate how you are sleeping?
00:04:31They leave the lights on all day and all night too, so if you had to rate how you're sleeping
00:04:37Maybe you can talk to them
00:04:39I'll see what I can do
00:04:42But I
00:04:44Need you to understand that everything from now on depends on you on your good behavior
00:04:49so if the court sees you as
00:04:52Unrepentant in any way or just another thug with a grudge and a chip on his shoulder. They're not gonna budge with your sentencing now
00:04:58I'm gonna work on getting you out of solitary. But if
00:05:03When I do you can't associate with any of your former gang members for any reason I mean no reason
00:05:10Is there anything else you want to say to me? There's nothing else in here with me
00:05:16When that door shuts it's real quiet in here only the sound of that light buzzing can you hear that
00:05:23You can hear your own heart in here your own breathing
00:05:28Feels like the walls are closing in and your mind's trying to escape
00:05:35You know how long I've been in here you were removed from general population 30 days ago for your own safety
00:05:41Just white knuckle it
00:05:43White knuckle it it won't be too long
00:05:47They attacked me. I have your statement. They tried to kill me and that's why you're here for your own protection
00:05:56And have any enemies in here
00:05:59This was a hit
00:06:01It was organized from the outside
00:06:03Luca Ramirez
00:06:05He set this up. Do you have proof of that? I don't have that in my report. I know he's taking my spot. I
00:06:12Know he's seeing my wife. I
00:06:16Couldn't protect her from here and he can I get it did he threaten you directly things don't work that way
00:06:26My wife and I we've known each other since we were kids I think about her all the time
00:06:35You know, there's nothing else to look forward to but a tray
00:06:40There's nowhere else to go but inside your own mind
00:06:44Hang in there, I'll be back as soon as there's some movement in your case
00:06:52Not normal
00:06:54No human touch
00:06:56No contact. No visitors. No sunlight. Hey, I didn't put you here you did
00:07:02This is how you pay your debt to society
00:07:05On a scale of zero to four, what do you think of my chances of getting out of here? I
00:07:11Can't answer that
00:07:34You
00:08:04You
00:08:22Mr. Kamara, let us take one picture at the beginning of the year. I'm sending you mine
00:08:29Thank you for the Bible. You sent me I
00:08:32Find it hard to read anything here
00:08:35Something keeps me coming back to it. Even when I don't feel like it's any use. I
00:08:42Hope I hear back from you again
00:09:01Just
00:09:11Read one passage every day
00:09:14Hebrews 4 12 says for the Word of God is living and active
00:09:20Sharper than any double-edged sword
00:09:22It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit joints and marrow
00:09:28It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart god bless pastor Kamara
00:09:58I
00:10:29They're saying you did this to yourself, that's a lie. They saw me trying to talk to another inmate and they beat me
00:10:36You are not allowed to have any contact with any former gang members
00:10:42They're just doing their job. They don't want to hear the words. They don't want others to be free in here
00:10:50Hey, they're saying that you're refusing medical attention
00:10:53That you've given your life to Jesus. I
00:10:57Will be made whole
00:11:00What are you talking about you have come so close to getting out
00:11:07Why are you doing this I
00:11:09needed
00:11:11You think you're the first guy to come up with this kind of scam
00:11:15The court thinks that you are using your relationship with pastor Kamara to game the system
00:11:21They'll throw the book at you. You will be locked up in here forever
00:11:26Is that what you want?
00:11:29Don't blow it
00:11:31They already tried to kill you in here once you survived
00:11:35You just got lucky. I
00:11:37Don't call it luck
00:11:48Just make sure to keep changing the bandages on this and you'll be fine
00:11:56I'm following your instructions. Pastor Kamara. I
00:12:01Feel the strength of his words
00:12:04Like he knows my struggle
00:12:08Even in here I am lighter easier. I

00:13:21I'll take this from here. Thank you
00:13:25So

00:13:44How you gonna be rapping in jail?
00:13:46All right
00:13:48I'm gonna do a little exercise. I need a volunteer
00:13:51Come on up
00:13:53You're gonna be my partner
00:13:56It's called look and listen
00:14:00First you're gonna talk to your partner where you're from
00:14:04Your favorite music your favorite food anything you want to share when I call time up gonna switch
00:14:12So now I'm gonna show you how it's done set up in front of each other and you go here partner
00:14:22Okay
00:14:35Perfect now I go
00:14:38My name is pastor. I'm from Brooklyn. My favorite food is tamales and my favorite music is hip-hop
00:14:45go
00:14:47And switch
00:15:09You guys did great take a seat
00:15:11So
00:15:14What do you think we did all this
00:15:16So we can listen to each other
00:15:18Exactly, right so you could listen because if you can't really listen you can't hear anyone else
00:15:24And if you go around feeling like nobody listens to you
00:15:28Then you get mad and you do dumb stuff
00:15:30I wanted each one of you to know what it feels like to have someone listen to you
00:15:35Who knows what a parable is?
00:15:42It's a story with a lesson repeat after him it's a story with a lesson
00:15:50Hmm, okay say you you was the smallest kid
00:15:57And you had no friends no brothers no backup
00:16:02Let's say you had to fight the toughest meanest kid around that one. No one messes with
00:16:08the one everyone scared of
00:16:11There was no way around it
00:16:14So, what'd you do get a gun shoot him I'll hide so I could follow him home. This is some crazy answers
00:16:23Do you want to get caught with a gun
00:16:26Do you know you can get jail time if you're caught with it?
00:16:30That's not what you want to celebrate your birthdays in prison
00:16:37You know who had to face the same type of situation I'm talking about
00:16:42David
00:16:50David he was about your age
00:16:53Had to find his own way
00:16:56Herding sheep and goats all day
00:16:59Rain beaten down or Sun hot as hell
00:17:02Sleeping outside most nights so he could take care of his flock. So nobody would steal it from him
00:17:08He learned to keep it together no matter what
00:17:14So one day David's minding his own business
00:17:17When he learns that the Philistine army is coming and they're gonna try to cross the mountain right where his flock is
00:17:23And he knows how these guys do they're gonna kill his sheep
00:17:27Roast his goats and feed them to their army
00:17:31unless
00:17:33Unless you can find a way to stop him
00:17:36But
00:17:38What's he gonna do? It's just a kid, right?
00:17:41So he goes down the mountainside and he finds the Australian Kings army there too ready to fight
00:17:48Except there's a problem. They got tanks, right?
00:17:53This is 3,000 years ago, but there's only foot soldiers and spears and arrows and swords
00:18:01So there were two big armies, but neither of them wanted to fight the other it was a standoff
00:18:06until
00:18:08The Philistines and I was gonna send one guy their biggest toughest guy to go up against one of the Israelites in single combat
00:18:16And they had to choose someone
00:18:20so
00:18:22Who's it gonna be?
00:18:24It turns out no one
00:18:26Nobody wants to face the Philistines best guy Goliath. He's huge massive a giant
00:18:33He'll annihilate anybody they send it's a done deal
00:18:37but then
00:18:39David comes up and he says I'm gonna go fight that dude
00:18:44Everybody's like you're crazy. You're gonna get killed. You're too skinny. You're too little. All you have is a slingshot
00:18:56Know what it says here in chapter 33 verse 16
00:19:06It says the king will not be saved by a great army
00:19:14Nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength
00:19:26You
00:19:57I
00:19:59I'm sorry. I was just hoping she was here. Why can't you work this out? She won't talk to me. She won't see me

00:30:01You know your church is right in the middle of a highly active neighborhood, right? You're aware of that. Yeah, I
00:30:06Call it the green zone
00:30:08It's a place. I hope these kids can look to a better future than what these gangs have to offer
00:30:13Okay. Well just be careful. I
00:30:16Know I'm sure you do you get a look at the shooter pastor? No seen him around before
00:30:24They called them neto neto, is that right?
00:30:28Okay. Well, we're canvas in the area. So we'll call you down in the precinct as soon as we find anything
00:30:33Huh looks like they're trying to send you a message of some sort any idea what that might be
00:30:40They're trying to send me a message. It's obviously because they started hearing my message
00:30:45And I'm only gonna continue
00:30:52Rookie sir. I got the slug out. Should I get it's ballistic? Yeah
00:31:01We'll be hearing from us

00:31:59Did
00:32:04It was real smart
00:32:15I
00:32:17Don't your bro your brother's I know mom
00:32:41See that I can't go
00:32:45I
00:32:58Sound was
00:33:04He wasn't part of any gang he used to go along as well
00:33:12Angelica
00:33:16Angelica
00:33:31You used to be these kids
00:33:41It's gotta change
00:33:45I'm not going anywhere
00:33:47I
00:34:11That smoking will kill you you're right and shooting won't
00:34:17I
00:34:21Did you know where your brother got mixed up in
00:34:28Where it is you did some serious time and then you found Jesus before you got out
00:34:39You could say that
00:34:43Everybody knows you can never get out
00:34:46What about you
00:34:48Are you like everyone?
00:34:51Ain't like some other sisters. I know how to mind my own business
00:35:00I should have done better looking out for him
00:35:15I
00:35:45You better think this through Nero cops are out looking for you
00:36:06No, I can't stop this bastard
00:36:15I
00:36:46I
00:37:03So they recruit the kids young usually elementary school sometimes junior high if cops were tired with their communities
00:37:09How many more kids could be saved? Okay, you want to talk community outreach?
00:37:13You should leave a car for my rep. But right now I'm trying to ID a shooter
00:37:16So do me a favor and look at this video you recognize anybody
00:37:22Sure, but that doesn't mean they did it
00:37:28Okay, we're we're on the same side pastor you should remember that
00:37:35Anyway, we bottlenecked Ramirez and his outfit down to here this line right there
00:37:40Which means he's not able to make his regular illegal income weapons and drug trafficking and gambling extortion you name it
00:37:45So instead he's got kids out there snatching phones robbing stores doing stick-ups
00:37:49they pull it off and
00:37:51Load in that's right. Now. They're a bona fide gangbanger. It's nice
00:37:57Anyway, officer Glenn here trolls through these sites during the day trying to ID known offenders before they hit again cyber banging
00:38:04They make these videos where they threaten kids even their parents or teachers
00:38:08So it is a brave stupid new world out there since you were out on those streets
00:38:15It's like this someone shot a kid last night and it's my job to put that person away
00:38:20We're come to the memorial tonight at 6
00:38:24Maybe you'll find somebody who's willing to talk to you
00:38:28I'll stop by
00:38:34I
00:39:04See ya

00:42:28I'm worried about my kid
00:42:31I think it's not gonna hurt you. He's not like that
00:42:38I need to get back to my son
00:42:43Can you understand
00:42:53Maybe I
00:42:56Could get a message out to him
00:42:59You got a number I could reach him by
00:43:02I could call him and let him know that you're okay
00:43:06You'll be back home soon
00:43:11Yeah, okay
00:43:13I'll give you the number but make sure you let him know sooner, right?
00:43:17You got it

00:45:51When they started shooting up the car with us inside
00:45:58Somehow I survived
00:46:01Call it faith tragedy, but I survived
00:46:07My wife
00:46:10Took only one of those bullets to take her life away
00:46:14She died in my arms
00:46:18Looking at me
00:46:21Mouth was open like
00:46:25She was trying to say something to me
00:46:31At that moment I had to make a choice
00:46:36But since that day
00:46:39Feel
00:46:42He's him the shoulder he's lonely my heart
00:46:52I think God brought us together to fulfill a very powerful mission
00:47:00So whatever you do remember you cannot serve two masters
00:47:05You cannot be both a man of God and a killer of men
00:47:15I appreciate everything you've done for me
00:47:19Here and in prison you saved my life
00:47:28But if I'm not here in time
00:47:30But if I'm not here in time, I know you'll give the service

00:50:42Never gave up anyone
00:50:44Never took anything. They offered me. I
00:50:48Paid my debt
00:50:50Well, that was way before my time man
00:50:54But I like a good story
00:51:07Inside
00:51:09My division was the most productive
00:51:13One that carried the most junk most guns
00:51:17No one ever out-of-pocket any of my deals, so what do you want a parade a benediction what eight years
00:51:26Inside a six by eight feet cell

00:54:16I
00:54:20You know a lot of stories on the inside come out in the open I

00:56:41I have forgiven
00:56:44But not forgotten Luca, please

00:57:32So we can all feel some
00:57:37Peace of mind
00:57:49I
00:57:51I
00:58:16Identify the shooter meadow Sanchez 17 to priors figured you want to know
00:58:21Being that you're violating your parole
00:58:24What I want to know is why?
00:58:26Does it matter go on touch me with something? What were you doing with Alfonso's guys? Huh? It's personal. It's personal
00:58:31It's perfect. You don't trust us
00:58:33Don't believe cops care. Don't believe you want to stop scraping kids brains off the street. Is that what you think?
00:58:37I don't know what you want. Look some of these kids out there saying they're gangsters have no remorse. I got no brains period
00:58:42Okay, all they want to do is blame someone else. I got nothing. So I need to sell drugs
00:58:45Nobody cares about me boo. So I'm gonna go I'm gonna go shoot someone. That's what these kids think
00:58:50You know what? I see. What do you see those kids in the video?
00:58:52I see 14 15 16 even 18 years of lonely and beaten down
00:58:58Then suddenly boom they snap and everybody's trying to figure out why okay, so you're saying boo-hoo to that
00:59:04Is that what you're saying? No, no
00:59:05What I'm saying is if you really want to find out who is responsible you gotta start by looking at yourself in the mirror detective
00:59:11We're all our brothers keeper
00:59:14So go
00:59:17Go keep on walking. What are you waiting for?
00:59:19Go
00:59:49Oh
01:00:19Let me start by saying that God our Creator has the right to rule over life and death
01:00:25We're stumped in the image and likeness of God
01:00:32This one makes us human
01:00:35And God demands us to
01:00:38preserve life
01:00:39because life
01:00:41Human life as we know it is the only form of life that he created in his own image
01:00:46The Bible says in the book of Genesis 1
01:00:4926 and 27 and let me read
01:00:52Let us make man in our image in our likeness
01:00:57As humans, we're the only ones that can talk walk and fellowship with God
01:01:03This is the source of our great value and dignity as human beings
01:01:08So what's the value of human life? How do we measure it?
01:01:12But how successful someone is
01:01:14What type of cars he can drive how much money he has how much power
01:01:21We like to think that we know
01:01:25We like to think that we know
01:01:34I would like our new pastor to take you from here
01:01:37I would like our new pastor to take you from here
01:02:08I
01:02:10Am forever grateful to pastor Kamara
01:02:16To puppy
01:02:19For everything he's done for this community
01:02:24And I wish that was enough
01:02:31By one pastor and one church cannot be the only thing standing
01:02:37between our kids
01:02:40And the violence that's out there every day and every night
01:02:50It's a prohibition of God you shall not murder
01:02:57You shall not murder and yet we do
01:03:04Again and again
01:03:08Violence
01:03:12Retaliation
01:03:14Vengeance
01:03:17The Hebrew root word for vengeance is to deliver
01:03:22to liberate
01:03:24to restore
01:03:26To punish or defeat
01:03:33So what does it mean
01:03:38I
01:03:39Believe it means it's up to us to take back our streets our schools our community
01:03:46To take back this word vengeance go back to its roots
01:03:50Its true meaning you tell us what we need to do. You know, why is it gotta be us to do more?
01:03:55I want all of us to make my son's life worth something
01:04:01I'm not here to upset you or disrespect you ma'am or your family
01:04:08But if you're going to take care of each other now and in the future
01:04:13We have to stop accepting that we are powerless because that's exactly what's expected of us
01:04:23I'm banging all my life
01:04:28Never wanted no child of mine to ever run in no game never
01:04:32What you saying here tonight pastor, it's true
01:04:41It's taking my whole life learning I
01:04:46Don't want these boys to have the same road
01:04:49You do what you can
01:04:52We got your back
01:04:55We got your back
01:04:58We got your back
01:05:04This brother's courage and heart is what we're fighting for here tonight tomorrow and every day after
01:05:15On Sunday I
01:05:19Started telling the story of the Battle of David and Goliath
01:05:24The
01:05:26Moral of this story
01:05:28It's not that the weak beat the strong
01:05:32But that expectations were beaten
01:05:37The expectations of everyone
01:05:41Everyone who thought that David would fail and that Goliath would win
01:05:50If I see you all here tonight
01:05:53under the eyes of society I
01:05:56May be fooled into expecting you to fail to fall down to be beaten down by life
01:06:03To end up just another statistic
01:06:07Dead or in jail
01:06:13But if we come together here tonight in this house of God in this community to beat those expectations
01:06:21And something amazing will have happened and our biggest enemy will be defeated
01:06:35Couldn't be more proud of you tonight
01:06:43What I'm about to say hurts me so much
01:06:46You got to go
01:06:50You have to leave here
01:06:53This church
01:06:57This neighborhood
