00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.740 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.740 --> 00:00:01.410 align:middle line:90%
I got a piece--

00:00:01.410 --> 00:00:04.410 align:middle line:84%
I wanted to read a few of
these definition pieces there.

00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:09.270 align:middle line:84%
And so see if I can
find them right quick.

00:00:09.270 --> 00:00:12.660 align:middle line:90%
Maybe I got them, maybe I don't.

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:14.430 align:middle line:90%
Yeah, here we go.

00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:16.830 align:middle line:84%
And so if you notice,
I try to refrain

00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:21.600 align:middle line:84%
from using the word prison,
formerly incarcerated, felon.

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:22.830 align:middle line:90%
I don't believe in--

00:00:22.830 --> 00:00:24.930 align:middle line:84%
I don't believe in
those things because I

00:00:24.930 --> 00:00:27.660 align:middle line:84%
have met many bad people
who are not felons.

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:30.270 align:middle line:84%
And so that holds
no weight with me.

00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:31.320 align:middle line:90%
It just doesn't.

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.960 align:middle line:90%
I mean, I had to start feeling--

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:35.610 align:middle line:84%
I had to stop
thinking about that

00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:38.010 align:middle line:84%
because I think when
one gets out of--

00:00:38.010 --> 00:00:40.600 align:middle line:90%
one gets comes like--

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.110 align:middle line:84%
is returning citizen, that's
a better way of looking at it.

00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:46.470 align:middle line:84%
You return back to
society, and you're

00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:49.560 align:middle line:84%
given the stigma
as like a formerly

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.540 align:middle line:90%
incarcerated or a felon.

00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:56.370 align:middle line:84%
But I don't necessarily buy
that because there are many--

00:00:56.370 --> 00:01:00.180 align:middle line:84%
because if you live long enough,
and if you talk to people,

00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:02.220 align:middle line:84%
and you just live
the life, you know

00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:05.430 align:middle line:84%
that everybody got
something that they're not

00:01:05.430 --> 00:01:07.710 align:middle line:90%
proud of that they've done.

00:01:07.710 --> 00:01:09.660 align:middle line:84%
And they might not
be that they went--

00:01:09.660 --> 00:01:12.990 align:middle line:84%
they was locked up
for it, but still.

00:01:12.990 --> 00:01:17.040 align:middle line:84%
And so I refuse to
succumb to that.

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:22.200 align:middle line:84%
And so for me, I was trying to
write a few things about what

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.410 align:middle line:90%
I call dangerous misnomers.

00:01:25.410 --> 00:01:28.260 align:middle line:90%
So we'll read a couple of them.

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:34.440 align:middle line:84%
289-128, dangerous
misnomers, "Prisoner."

00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:36.960 align:middle line:84%
And they're like this
definition piece of something,

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:38.520 align:middle line:90%
but I flipped the definition.

00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:41.220 align:middle line:90%


00:01:41.220 --> 00:01:44.650 align:middle line:84%
"Trapped within a carceral state
a bird, a person, or a thing,

00:01:44.650 --> 00:01:47.220 align:middle line:84%
but mostly your
thing involuntarily

00:01:47.220 --> 00:01:50.580 align:middle line:84%
held under restraint, as
in human beings combined

00:01:50.580 --> 00:01:52.710 align:middle line:90%
to borderlines.

00:01:52.710 --> 00:01:56.220 align:middle line:84%
Derivative of prison,
apprehension from old French

00:01:56.220 --> 00:01:58.920 align:middle line:90%
prisonnière is a detainee.

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.120 align:middle line:84%
Colored or a gender given a
namesake used to be called--

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.850 align:middle line:84%
used to be called
indentured or slave,

00:02:05.850 --> 00:02:08.789 align:middle line:84%
living in detention
unable to resurrect.

00:02:08.789 --> 00:02:11.280 align:middle line:84%
Caught in the revolving
door without exit.

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.550 align:middle line:84%
Stamped with labels,
often inaccurate.

00:02:14.550 --> 00:02:17.310 align:middle line:84%
Regulated not necessarily
to four walls.

00:02:17.310 --> 00:02:20.100 align:middle line:84%
Could be urban, also
from rural district.

00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:24.690 align:middle line:84%
Cage in a body, an
idea as conceptual."

00:02:24.690 --> 00:02:26.730 align:middle line:90%
"Convict."

00:02:26.730 --> 00:02:30.420 align:middle line:84%
"Sentenced as criminal
without a release, never ever.

00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:32.550 align:middle line:84%
Immoral might be
more applicable.

00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:35.100 align:middle line:84%
The con is the
conviction itself,

00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:38.640 align:middle line:84%
a trickster for defendants
who without sin is a juror.

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:41.820 align:middle line:84%
In the mirror, a
judge on the bench,

00:02:41.820 --> 00:02:45.780 align:middle line:84%
a DA, all doppelgangers,
interchangeable bodies,

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:49.050 align:middle line:84%
declared guilty by those
with guilt, a verdict

00:02:49.050 --> 00:02:53.370 align:middle line:84%
within a paradox of
secreted legal secrets.

00:02:53.370 --> 00:02:57.570 align:middle line:84%
Inescapable now,
held by dead weight.

00:02:57.570 --> 00:03:00.300 align:middle line:84%
Waiting in forever
quicksand, hypocrites

00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:03.060 align:middle line:84%
who could be, but are not
deemed corrupt in the state

00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:04.530 align:middle line:90%
within the statement.

00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:08.100 align:middle line:84%
Sanctions on the x cannot
never be a good thing.

00:03:08.100 --> 00:03:12.630 align:middle line:84%
Label me legend by the
original colonials."

00:03:12.630 --> 00:03:14.930 align:middle line:90%
"Felon."

00:03:14.930 --> 00:03:17.480 align:middle line:90%
"Assigned to bad people but not.

00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:21.830 align:middle line:84%
Limited or this malice
thing in cage habitat.

00:03:21.830 --> 00:03:25.520 align:middle line:84%
A shady character, a cruel
misnomer, could be prison,

00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.880 align:middle line:90%
but ordinary people are cruel.

00:03:28.880 --> 00:03:32.540 align:middle line:84%
Uncertain ethical character
should be prerequisite

00:03:32.540 --> 00:03:33.740 align:middle line:90%
not a record.

00:03:33.740 --> 00:03:37.010 align:middle line:84%
From medieval Latin,
the evildoers, felo,

00:03:37.010 --> 00:03:40.160 align:middle line:84%
a delinquent, but
not necessarily legal

00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:42.380 align:middle line:90%
or the greatest lie ever.

00:03:42.380 --> 00:03:45.620 align:middle line:84%
Told as stigma,
meant as a life long.

00:03:45.620 --> 00:03:48.740 align:middle line:84%
After debt paid, all
is never forgiven.

00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:52.430 align:middle line:84%
Classification, of course,
without expiration,

00:03:52.430 --> 00:03:56.780 align:middle line:84%
a fate some say lose or a
lifer, but what is lost.

00:03:56.780 --> 00:04:01.180 align:middle line:84%
The evil, the moral
good do in the open."
