By some counts, one in four American women have a loved one who has been incarcerated. For Black women like Kristal Bush, raised in the era of mass incarceration, that number is closer to one in two. This brave film tells a story about family, love, and how women on the outside care for themselves while caring for others.
A tenacious millennial with flair thicker than her Philly accent, Kristal Bush, 27, is a social worker, homeowner, and founder of Bridging the Gap, a van service that drives families--mostly women--to visit loved ones in faraway prisons. Kristal lives that life, too. Her father has been incarcerated for 25 years; her brother, Jarvae, for 11. Her eldest brother, Jabo, cycles in and out of jail, as do cousins and friends.
Following a loose three-act structure, this vérité film explores how the criminal justice system shapes nearly every slice of Kristal’s life, though she’s never spent a day behind bars. Beginning when Kristal’s father and brother are still incarcerated, the film captures the joy, frustration, and complexity that their release brings. Kristal anchors the narrative. Her mother, “Big” Crystal, and nephew, Nyvae, add dimension to her story. Interwoven are interviews and Kristal’s own cell phone videos, bringing texture and complexity to her millennial perspective. Kristal’s quest to adopt her nephew and give him a more stable life is a key story arc, culminating in a powerful resolution in the third act.
Filmed over four years, A WOMAN ON THE OUTSIDE is a deeply American story about the legacy of mass incarceration.

00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:12.560
Good morning.
00:00:12.740 --> 00:00:14.060
Hey, y'all.
00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:16.040
Hi, everybody. Hi, good morning.
00:00:17.330 --> 00:00:17.340
Good morning.
00:00:18.297 --> 00:00:20.847
You got the baby birth certificate
and Social Security card?
00:00:20.847 --> 00:00:23.779
All right. Y'all got your IDs? No
wire in your bra?
00:00:28.350 --> 00:00:29.910
Hey, I sent your information to the
driver,
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:31.656
She should be picking you up.
00:00:31.656 --> 00:00:33.386
We running a little behind schedule.
00:00:35.130 --> 00:00:39.690
You know, I'm not healthy enough to
be taking this trip all the time,
00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:41.940
and it's just like, and I'm trying to
see if they can.
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:44.427
Move him a little closer.
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.740
Welcome to today's episode
00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:52.950
of The Real Resilience Prison Wife
Life podcast.
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:55.320
Now I am sitting here with a special
guest.
00:00:56.370 --> 00:00:59.280
She's not necessarily a prison wife,
00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:03.927
but man does she know the business of
prison wife life.
00:01:03.927 --> 00:01:04.627
Yes.
00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:06.870
Her name is Kristal.
00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:09.090
Why don't you tell the people a
little bit about yourself?
00:01:09.570 --> 00:01:12.060
I'm a social worker here in Philly,
00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:15.900
And I am the owner of Bridging the
Gap Transportation,
00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:17.940
Which is a prison van service.
00:01:19.310 --> 00:01:20.300
Lord, have mercy.
00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:24.300
What made you start a van service?
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.580
Most of the men in my family were
incarcerated,
00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:31.080
So my dad was incarcerated since I
was three years old.
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.540
Ms. Brenda, did my mom get you?
00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:38.560
I think you her last pick up. Hey
miss, your overgarment is cute!
00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:43.050
My brother was sentenced to 10 to
20.
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.760
Jabo, my oldest brother, just in and
out of prison.
00:01:48.150 --> 00:01:49.860
Cousins, serving life.
00:01:52.150 --> 00:01:54.070
The prisons are so far.
00:01:54.100 --> 00:01:56.590
I mean, hours away from Philly.
00:01:57.310 --> 00:02:00.880
I started the van service to keep
families connected.
00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:03.970
It's sort of like therapy for me.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.820
Ms. Denise is going to another
prison,
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.070
So I know you like to sit next to the
window.
00:02:09.070 --> 00:02:11.530
When she get out, you could just
slide right on so you can be more
00:02:11.530 --> 00:02:12.688
comfortable, okay?
00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:14.287
Mom, is you filling up your gas?
00:02:14.287 --> 00:02:15.620
I'll get it up in Harrisburg.
00:02:15.687 --> 00:02:16.744
We're not stopping.
00:02:19.933 --> 00:02:21.336
Alight, everybody cool?
00:02:21.336 --> 00:02:24.587
Everybody going to Huntingdon and
Smithfield, no Houtzdale?
00:02:24.587 --> 00:02:26.200
Smithfield gonna be poppin' today.
00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:28.100
That's why we gotta hurry up and get
up in there.
00:02:29.513 --> 00:02:38.140
[indistinct
00:02:38.140 --> 00:02:38.230
chatter]
00:02:38.230 --> 00:02:38.240
Oh wow, she got tall!
00:02:39.293 --> 00:02:41.529
There's so many people who ride the
van service,
00:02:41.529 --> 00:02:43.596
instead of paying their own bills,
00:02:43.596 --> 00:02:45.230
They're sending money to their loved
ones.
00:02:46.110 --> 00:02:49.670
Some people get another job just to
support that inmate.
00:02:50.420 --> 00:02:53.300
I don't want to hinder you from being
able to go see your loved one.
00:02:53.750 --> 00:02:56.620
I understand that you may borrow $20
from this person,
00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:58.940
$20 from this person and $10 from
this person.
00:02:58.940 --> 00:03:00.323
just to get this van.
00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:04.800
Well, this picture right here
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.930

He did sumthin'and he got 7 to 15
years.

Went to college, in the Army,
00:03:12.730 --> 00:03:14.460
But he just did something dumb.
00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:16.350
And got hisself caught right up.
00:03:17.010 --> 00:03:19.920

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.040
He play too much.
00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:24.500
And I'm excited.
00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:26.530
To go see my man, yup.
00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:28.440
It's been too long. Sixty days is a
long time.
00:03:28.440 --> 00:03:30.460
Are you laughing at me Kristal?
00:03:30.460 --> 00:03:31.277

00:03:31.590 --> 00:03:33.517

00:03:33.517 --> 00:03:34.947
Sixty days!

We're on our way to go see our
husbands!
00:03:40.426 --> 00:03:41.590

00:04:03.770 --> 00:04:04.953
[laughter]
00:04:06.837 --> 00:04:08.420
I'm excited.
00:04:08.660 --> 00:04:09.214
Around the corner.
00:04:11.254 --> 00:04:12.670
Momma!
00:04:12.870 --> 00:04:15.930
Make sure you don't have no wire or
nothing in your bras.
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.637
They may be searching the van,
00:04:17.670 --> 00:04:19.780
so be prepared to have y'all stuff
checked.
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.080
If you'll have anything we can roll d
own a window,
00:04:22.080 --> 00:04:23.460
open a door and let whatever you got
out.
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.563
She'll be right behind you.
00:04:30.563 --> 00:04:32.533
Alright enjoy your visit!
00:04:32.533 --> 00:04:34.083
Alright, see y'all!
00:04:36.630 --> 00:04:38.520
It was a party over here.
00:04:39.990 --> 00:04:42.530
You should have seen them. They go,

00:04:43.110 --> 00:04:44.780
They always running!
00:04:44.780 --> 00:04:47.930
Tanisha's the main one talking about,
Oh my god, I got to sit in the
00:04:47.940 --> 00:04:48.390
front. My leg.
00:04:48.390 --> 00:04:50.743
You know, I just had surgery.
00:04:50.743 --> 00:04:53.780
I can't tell, not the way you're
running in that prison.
00:04:53.863 --> 00:04:55.420
I know.
00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:55.546
[laughter]
00:04:55.548 --> 00:04:57.230
They is crazy.
00:04:57.230 --> 00:04:59.214
But I love them though.
00:05:08.790 --> 00:05:09.790
Hello.
00:05:09.910 --> 00:05:11.390
You have a call from
00:05:11.390 --> 00:05:12.480
Pennsylvania State Correctional
Institution.
00:05:13.813 --> 00:05:15.623
[Dad]: I'll call you tomorrow at
7:45 am.
00:05:15.623 --> 00:05:17.073
[Dad]: Alright baby?
00:05:17.073 --> 00:05:18.767
Yeah, that's cool.
00:05:19.210 --> 00:05:22.510
[Dad]: Y'all be safe driving home,
alright?
00:05:22.577 --> 00:05:23.544
Alright.
00:05:23.544 --> 00:05:24.530
[Dad]: Alright, I love you.

Alright, love you, too. He call 7.45
am every morning.
00:05:30.030 --> 00:05:32.880
And. Those are the conversations
that I like.
00:05:33.570 --> 00:05:34.590
But...
00:05:34.590 --> 00:05:37.140
I don't even remember him out of
jail, though.
00:05:37.170 --> 00:05:39.690
That's the thing, because I was too
young.
00:05:42.020 --> 00:05:43.450
So I don't remember none of that.
00:05:49.010 --> 00:05:51.346
[indistinct chatter]
00:05:52.496 --> 00:05:54.620
Oh ya, that's my husband with the big
beard.
00:05:56.540 --> 00:05:57.873
Yeah. The cool one.
00:05:59.024 --> 00:06:01.100
How was your visits?
00:06:01.100 --> 00:06:24.860
It
00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:24.870
was good.
00:06:24.870 --> 00:06:26.880
Ok, thank you. I really enjoy
00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:44.510
ed myself everybody.
00:06:44.510 --> 00:06:44.520
Likewise.
00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:44.530
Alright see you Kristal next week.
00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:54.000
My dad said that he might be coming
home.
00:06:55.157 --> 00:06:58.770
He called before and said he may come
home and never came.
00:07:01.050 --> 00:07:02.220
This man been locked up my whole
life.
00:07:03.667 --> 00:07:05.733
I'm supposed to be happy, so I smile,
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:07.653
But deep down, I'm a little worried.
00:07:09.644 --> 00:07:12.307
I want my family home,
00:07:12.307 --> 00:07:14.810
But I don't think we know what it's
like
00:07:14.810 --> 00:07:16.727
to be a family on the outside.
00:07:35.057 --> 00:07:36.624
[Music]
00:07:36.624 --> 00:07:39.910
[Singing along: "I don't want a lot
for Christmas..."]
00:07:45.945 --> 00:07:55.350
How
00:07:55.350 --> 00:07:55.420
you do it? This. No this. Then that.
Then you come back up. Wait do it
00:07:55.420 --> 00:07:58.400
lemme see?
00:07:59.583 --> 00:08:01.820
Where you learn that from?
00:08:02.987 --> 00:08:04.880
I didn't even know you knew how to
dance.
00:08:09.837 --> 00:08:11.420
No, teach me!
00:08:16.590 --> 00:08:17.700
My dad.
00:08:17.700 --> 00:08:19.100
I didn't talk to him in a while yet,
but...
00:08:20.106 --> 00:08:22.967
I hope soon he calls me so I can
talk to him.
00:08:22.967 --> 00:08:24.890
He's getting out next year.
00:08:24.944 --> 00:08:27.744
Which is coming up.
00:08:27.744 --> 00:08:32.881
He'll be out soon and we'll have a
bond together
00:08:33.531 --> 00:08:36.541
and have a relationship...
00:08:39.941 --> 00:08:41.910
with each other.
00:08:49.453 --> 00:08:54.870
Nyvae was in the second grade when he
came to live with me.
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.950
Such a chill laid-back kid.
00:09:02.703 --> 00:09:04.420
My brother Jarvae,
00:09:04.873 --> 00:09:09.010
which is Nyvae's dad, is serving 10
to 20,
00:09:09.010 --> 00:09:11.800
And his mom is just in and out of
prison and
00:09:11.800 --> 00:09:14.170
we oftentimes just lose contact with
her.
00:09:22.300 --> 00:09:24.510
Nyvae is 11 now.
00:09:24.510 --> 00:09:26.497
I'm in a process of adopting him.
00:09:26.497 --> 00:09:27.850
To make sure that he stays in our
family.
00:09:31.420 --> 00:09:32.476
Say cheese.
00:09:32.476 --> 00:09:33.356
Cheese.
00:09:34.750 --> 00:09:36.220
He takes in a lot.
00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:37.603
One day I'm the mom,
00:09:37.603 --> 00:09:38.980
One day I'm the aunt. One day I'm the
friend.
00:09:40.337 --> 00:09:43.720
Despite our uncertainty, he's a good
kid.
00:09:46.547 --> 00:09:48.247
You brush your teeth?
00:09:48.247 --> 00:09:50.047
Yeah I brushed my teeth!
00:09:50.047 --> 00:09:51.364
No you didn't.
00:09:51.364 --> 00:09:52.427
Yes I did.
00:10:03.673 --> 00:10:06.720
[indistinct chatter]
00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:18.550
Lemme see.
00:10:18.550 --> 00:10:26.490
Lemme see. I'm glad you're
00:10:26.490 --> 00:10:27.906
coming home
00:10:27.906 --> 00:10:30.060
to watch my teenage life, my teenage
years.
00:10:30.643 --> 00:10:31.967
Okay. That's it.
00:10:32.099 --> 00:10:33.507
You gotta get him.
00:10:33.507 --> 00:10:34.990
What'd he write?
00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:35.000
Just look, he saying that don't make
sense.
00:10:37.624 --> 00:10:38.710
I said it do so.
00:10:38.710 --> 00:10:40.434
You told him how you feel.
00:10:40.884 --> 00:10:43.883
Keep on erasing. You know what? Get
your nephew.
00:10:44.250 --> 00:10:45.510
He talking about said that's it.
00:10:45.660 --> 00:10:47.920
No, more.
00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:49.643
[laughter]
00:10:49.643 --> 00:10:53.520
I see that you're coming home in two
more weeks.
00:10:53.520 --> 00:10:57.324
When you come home we are going to
spend a lot of time together.
00:10:57.324 --> 00:11:00.090
I know you can't get all the time we
lost.
00:11:00.410 --> 00:11:03.667
But we are going to spend the rest of
our lives together.
00:11:30.324 --> 00:11:31.890
Good morning.
00:11:31.890 --> 00:11:33.107
Hey miss.
00:11:33.490 --> 00:11:34.370
Hey.
00:11:34.370 --> 00:11:36.340
How you doing?
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.270
My first memory visiting a prison.
00:11:46.270 --> 00:11:48.430
Was actually going to go visit my
dad.
00:11:54.130 --> 00:11:56.456
I believe I was about...
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:58.680
five, six.
00:12:01.010 --> 00:12:03.190
I remember waking up early,
00:12:03.970 --> 00:12:07.590
My mom putting in ballies and
barrettes in my head
00:12:08.123 --> 00:12:10.570
that was so tight.
00:12:12.103 --> 00:12:15.347
My grandfather coming to get us
because it was so far,
00:12:15.347 --> 00:12:17.770
my mom couldn't really drive.
00:12:25.070 --> 00:12:30.990
When I got inside running up to my
dad and just smiling.
00:12:33.173 --> 00:12:35.890
Him just asking, What's your favorite
color?
00:12:35.890 --> 00:12:38.780
And really just trying to get to know
me.
00:12:39.750 --> 00:12:41.230
But it's blurry.
00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:43.170
I don't really remember a lot.
00:12:46.293 --> 00:12:48.217
From that point,
00:12:48.780 --> 00:12:52.123
I didn't get a chance to see him
until I was 19.
00:12:52.206 --> 00:12:54.440
and was able to drive myself.
00:13:08.660 --> 00:13:11.900
Me and Kristal, we've been through
thick and thin together.
00:13:12.140 --> 00:13:14.190
When she when she was in high school
00:13:14.190 --> 00:13:16.846
getting ready to graduate, she had to
do a speech.
00:13:16.846 --> 00:13:20.070
It was these three panels there and
she just said,
00:13:20.103 --> 00:13:21.800
My mom is a survivor of depression.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.370
You know.
00:13:23.370 --> 00:13:25.857
I can get stressed and I can just
zone out,
00:13:25.857 --> 00:13:28.920
And it's like, Kristal brings me
back.
00:13:32.680 --> 00:13:34.570
This is all beyond my wildest dreams
.
00:13:35.047 --> 00:13:38.080
I never thought I even have a child
or nobody in jail.
00:13:40.587 --> 00:13:43.520
I hope when my son comes home, he
stay out here,
00:13:43.520 --> 00:13:46.600
But I don't think I can keep doing
this much longer.
00:13:47.230 --> 00:13:48.220
Lord, you know I gotta send her
everything,
00:13:49.663 --> 00:13:51.879
to she if she like it, her approval.
00:13:57.400 --> 00:13:58.510
Jarvae, he told me he getting excited
now.
00:14:00.760 --> 00:14:03.880
I'm feeling a little...
00:14:03.880 --> 00:14:05.877
A little bit, you know, like.
00:14:06.330 --> 00:14:08.077
I'm getting happy,
00:14:08.260 --> 00:14:10.750
But I got another situation with my
oldest son.
00:14:11.260 --> 00:14:12.400
And that's just like.
00:14:16.310 --> 00:14:16.320
..
00:14:16.430 --> 00:14:17.390
I'm trying to get it together
upstairs
00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:21.740
in the room where he going to be
sleeping. So I was just going to, you
00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:24.053
know, like straighten up on his bed.
00:14:24.053 --> 00:14:26.900
But he said, no mom, just leave my
stuff in the bag.
00:14:26.900 --> 00:14:29.247
That's what I'm going to do.
00:14:29.910 --> 00:14:31.280
You know.
00:14:31.317 --> 00:14:34.440
He talking about he big, I hope he
could fit this stuff.
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.370
I wouldn't be surprised if they let
him out at 5am.
00:14:37.370 --> 00:14:38.610
He say ma, come get me, I'm standing
outside.
00:14:40.140 --> 00:14:43.380
So I don't even know. I just got to
be by my phone.
00:14:43.380 --> 00:14:44.460
Imma tell his kids.
00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:46.670
Imma come on. Get up.
00:14:46.670 --> 00:14:48.967
We're going to get your dad.
00:14:51.270 --> 00:14:53.030
He coming home because he miss his
mom.
00:14:53.030 --> 00:14:54.740
To protect his mom.
00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:55.860
He think he's the only one to protect
me.
00:15:01.546 --> 00:15:04.263
I told him his brother was locked
back up.
00:15:04.263 --> 00:15:06.880
He said, I know he mad. I said, I
don't know.
00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:09.160
I ain't talked to him. I ain't talked
to Jabo.
00:15:09.780 --> 00:15:11.237
They said...
00:15:11.630 --> 00:15:14.337
I guess in two weeks he have a visit.
00:15:18.430 --> 00:15:21.403
One coming home and one went to jail.
00:15:21.403 --> 00:15:24.720
I would have loved to have both of my
kids home.
00:15:31.083 --> 00:15:32.350
So Lashay,
00:15:32.350 --> 00:15:33.460
how you feel about your dad coming
home?
00:15:35.300 --> 00:15:37.570
Excited, like your grandmother?
00:15:37.570 --> 00:15:40.770
Cause I know I'm excited. It's been a
long time coming.
00:15:42.741 --> 00:15:44.690
My brother, in his eyes, he, like,
00:15:44.690 --> 00:15:47.647
My son is cool because my sister is
taking care of him.
00:15:48.464 --> 00:15:52.850
My focus is now Nyvae, like, how
Nyvae feel.
00:15:53.773 --> 00:15:57.000
I feel like he did all this time, and
he said that he changed,
00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:59.670
But really, have you really changed?
00:16:02.020 --> 00:16:04.327
There he go right there.
00:16:08.033 --> 00:16:10.367
Oh my god, they finally let you go.
00:16:10.367 --> 00:16:11.850
Love you
00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:13.760
I miss you, man.
00:16:13.760 --> 00:16:15.344
What's up partner?
00:16:15.344 --> 00:16:17.210
Man, you got fat.
00:16:17.210 --> 00:16:18.950
I told you I got fat man.
00:16:18.950 --> 00:16:20.270
I told you.
00:16:20.270 --> 00:16:23.080
I got fat. What's up?
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:23.830
Huh?
00:16:24.230 --> 00:16:25.400
I love both of you all, man.
00:16:25.400 --> 00:16:27.080
I love you, alright?
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.880
Your sister wants you to come by her
job.
00:16:30.627 --> 00:16:33.431
We on Delaware Ave? Yo that's crazy.
00:16:33.431 --> 00:16:36.440
I didn't even know we was on
Delaware Ave all that time.
00:16:37.447 --> 00:16:40.767
Yo! Yo, the city look different.
00:16:49.150 --> 00:16:50.150
Yesss
00:16:54.307 --> 00:16:55.930
Everybody don't have a drive,
00:16:55.930 --> 00:16:58.120
But you could put the drive in 'em.
00:16:58.124 --> 00:16:59.037
Yeah...
00:16:59.037 --> 00:17:02.137
I'm going to be good, I promise.
00:17:02.367 --> 00:17:04.627
I promise. I learned so much.
00:17:05.110 --> 00:17:06.783
Believe me.
00:17:13.610 --> 00:17:17.274
My sister don't seem like she happy
to see me.
00:17:17.274 --> 00:17:18.784
She happy.
00:17:18.784 --> 00:17:20.245
No she ain't.
00:17:20.245 --> 00:17:21.621
Trust me, she happy.
00:17:21.621 --> 00:17:24.694
I ain't mad though.
00:17:26.810 --> 00:17:27.927
XL.
00:17:29.327 --> 00:17:31.727
Damn little cuz.
00:17:32.973 --> 00:17:34.179
Fresh air.
00:17:34.179 --> 00:17:35.533
I don't know how to feel man.
00:17:35.533 --> 00:17:37.096
Damn, I ain't been home in so long.
00:17:37.096 --> 00:17:38.342
We here though.
00:17:41.027 --> 00:17:42.197
Jar-vaaae.
00:17:44.030 --> 00:17:45.120
You didn't change a bit.
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:45.930
[laughs]
00:17:47.173 --> 00:17:49.390
Hey Jarvae. Oh, let me call you back.
00:17:49.390 --> 00:17:51.130
You glad to be home?
00:17:51.130 --> 00:17:52.230
Am I!
00:17:53.417 --> 00:17:55.210
You know, this is FaceTime.
00:17:55.210 --> 00:17:56.727
So you can see.
00:17:58.411 --> 00:17:59.757
Yo, you funny.
00:17:59.757 --> 00:18:00.756
Answer it!
00:18:00.756 --> 00:18:01.819
You gotta answer it.
00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:04.517
Oh, I don't know how it do it. I
don't know how to do it.
00:18:04.517 --> 00:18:06.140
Alright that's FaceTime.
00:18:22.337 --> 00:18:24.230
When Jarvae came home,
00:18:24.230 --> 00:18:25.250
it was just like a regular day.
00:18:25.280 --> 00:18:26.870
I was at work.
00:18:26.870 --> 00:18:27.980
My supervisor was like,
00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:31.190
"Your brother just came home, you got
to leave."
00:18:31.190 --> 00:18:32.510
And I'm like, "No, this is just
normal.
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:34.410
This is what we do."
00:18:38.670 --> 00:18:40.230
But it was a different feeling,
00:18:40.230 --> 00:18:42.390
'cause my oldest brother, who's in
and out of prison,
00:18:42.390 --> 00:18:44.960
It was just, he's home, he's back,
he's home, he's back.
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.660
So to really see Jarvae home.
00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:50.980
First time someone had done like a
long bid like that...
00:18:51.090 --> 00:18:53.700
I didn't really know how to react.
00:18:53.983 --> 00:18:57.643
I just more so was looking at how
excited Nyvae was.
00:19:03.410 --> 00:19:06.530
But for me, I'm just thinking of,
like, all the what-ifs.
00:19:09.353 --> 00:19:12.463
The only pictures up here are of me
being in jail.
00:19:12.830 --> 00:19:15.090
Sad. We need to take all this down.
00:19:16.347 --> 00:19:18.347
No more jail ma.
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.130
No more jail Kristal.
00:19:35.393 --> 00:19:37.970
This is the first toast.
00:19:37.970 --> 00:19:38.903
First toast.
00:19:38.903 --> 00:19:41.030
Thanks! I love y'all. This is called
bridging the gap.
00:19:41.030 --> 00:19:42.590
Why you talking so loud?
00:19:42.590 --> 00:19:43.660
Sorry, I just came home.
00:19:44.950 --> 00:19:45.924
I just did 11 years, I'm sorry.
00:19:57.610 --> 00:19:59.644
Who this? Your phone is poppin!
00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:00.797
Who that?
00:20:01.447 --> 00:20:02.714
Answer it.
00:20:04.257 --> 00:20:05.830
Oh, this a jail call?
00:20:05.830 --> 00:20:07.524
Yeah, that's one of my guys.
00:20:07.524 --> 00:20:08.870
Answer that call.
00:20:08.870 --> 00:20:10.287
That's my young'n.
00:20:10.923 --> 00:20:12.210
Hey, yo, you hear me?
00:20:13.510 --> 00:20:14.650
I'm eating shrimp and all that,
like,
00:20:15.430 --> 00:20:16.160
I'm doing me right now. You hear me?
[laughter]
00:20:17.703 --> 00:20:18.986
I'm having fun.
00:20:18.986 --> 00:20:20.580
Go ahead.
00:20:20.580 --> 00:20:20.590
Hey, enjoy yourself man.
00:20:20.590 --> 00:20:21.760
Alright, tell everybody I love them,
bro.
00:20:42.506 --> 00:20:44.516
December 25, 1998.
00:20:44.516 --> 00:20:47.259
Dear Daddy, I'm so sorry I did not
write you,
00:20:47.259 --> 00:20:49.043
But I had a lot of homework.
00:20:49.043 --> 00:20:52.220
I am going to one of the smartest
schools.
00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:54.027
My reading level is 7.6.
00:20:54.077 --> 00:20:56.350
I love you so much.
00:20:56.360 --> 00:20:58.010
Write back soon. Love always, your
sweetheart.
00:21:00.170 --> 00:21:01.700
May 27, 2003.
00:21:02.040 --> 00:21:03.647
Dear Daddy,
00:21:03.647 --> 00:21:05.550
It was my fault I wasn't writing you,
00:21:05.550 --> 00:21:08.100
But I just want to tell you that I
love you.
00:21:08.100 --> 00:21:10.147
Everybody is in the best of health,
00:21:10.147 --> 00:21:12.390
But mommy is really depressed.
00:21:12.390 --> 00:21:15.077
I would be sending you some money as
soon as I get some,
00:21:15.077 --> 00:21:17.473
And I just want you to know that I
love you.
00:21:17.473 --> 00:21:19.120
Aw! That's a sweet letter.
00:21:19.120 --> 00:21:20.519
Okay.
00:21:28.220 --> 00:21:31.470
This is a book that my dad had gave
me...
00:21:32.583 --> 00:21:35.160
on the side of it, it says, "My
Family".
00:21:35.900 --> 00:21:41.000
And then he has my baby picture when
I was first born.
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:43.860
This is my mom and my dad.
00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:45.840
I didn't even recognize this is my
dad.
00:21:46.820 --> 00:21:49.997
Because his face was so clear and he
looked so young.
00:21:50.260 --> 00:21:53.410
This is me and Jarvae, Jarvae giving
me a kiss.
00:21:53.923 --> 00:21:55.360
These are all pictures from middle
school.
00:21:56.253 --> 00:21:58.680
That was our eighth grade school
dance.
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:00.540
Darn, college graduation.
00:22:00.540 --> 00:22:02.369
Awww. So dope.
00:22:02.603 --> 00:22:05.890
And then he got Blac Chyna on the
back.
00:22:05.890 --> 00:22:09.190
So I don't know if he consider Blac
Chyna his family,
00:22:09.190 --> 00:22:11.517
But um...
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.580
These little-behind letters and these
a little bit of pictures.
00:22:15.580 --> 00:22:18.400
is what kept him going for like 25
years.
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:20.020
And then you just sit back and you
question.
00:22:21.553 --> 00:22:24.353
Darn. Could I have done more?
00:22:34.433 --> 00:22:36.040
What's up, dad?
00:22:36.040 --> 00:22:38.420
It's crazy they denied your parole.
00:22:39.787 --> 00:22:41.880
I had faith this time.
00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:44.397
I know you are hurting right now,
00:22:44.397 --> 00:22:46.314
But everything is in God's hands.
00:22:46.314 --> 00:22:49.180
Just keep faith and keep going as
strong as you have been.
00:22:49.180 --> 00:22:50.470
Like I told you before,
00:22:50.470 --> 00:22:52.887
I was never mad or upset that you
wasn't in my life.
00:22:52.887 --> 00:22:55.187
I turned out to be a good woman.
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.550
I just don't understand why they
didn't give you a second chance
00:23:00.550 --> 00:23:02.700
to come back out into society.
00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:05.330
Stay focused and keep your head up.
00:23:05.330 --> 00:23:05.933
Love, Kristal.
00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:27.410
Because when I stopped.
00:23:27.410 --> 00:23:28.437
Before I did all that 12 years,
00:23:28.437 --> 00:23:30.520
Before I stopped dealing with horses
...
00:23:30.520 --> 00:23:31.586
I was cool.
00:23:31.586 --> 00:23:34.060
Then I stopped and I wanted to just
go to the streets
00:23:34.060 --> 00:23:35.920
and live this gangster life.
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:38.053
Oh my goodness.
00:23:38.540 --> 00:23:40.060
Then look, when I came back, I'm
cool.
00:23:40.390 --> 00:23:41.470
Like, I'll be...
00:23:41.470 --> 00:23:43.470
I don't get into nothing. People call
me all the time.
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:44.740
Nah, man, I'm going to the horse
stable.
00:23:44.800 --> 00:23:46.827
One thing I like about the horses.
00:23:46.827 --> 00:23:48.190
You have a bad day,
00:23:48.190 --> 00:23:49.900
You stressed out and come here, you
cool.
00:23:50.306 --> 00:23:51.230
Yup.
00:23:51.230 --> 00:23:53.283
You cool. This is your safe zone.
00:23:53.300 --> 00:23:56.897
And I don't gotta worry about the
horses talking back to me.
00:23:56.897 --> 00:23:59.123
Yup. Might get bit a little bit.
00:23:59.123 --> 00:24:01.013
Yeah, yup, Cash might bite you.
00:24:01.013 --> 00:24:03.170
He ain't gonna talk back, though.
00:24:04.870 --> 00:24:06.120
Ah, Cash.
00:24:07.003 --> 00:24:08.370
Come on girl.
00:24:13.007 --> 00:24:16.840
Being home, I'm just watching friends
of mine...
00:24:16.840 --> 00:24:19.200
Everybody's just getting killed.
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:21.240
Or going to jail.
00:24:25.354 --> 00:24:28.057
I'm trying to get her used to being
in the city.
00:24:28.057 --> 00:24:30.753
I'll be seeing guys that knew me.
00:24:30.753 --> 00:24:32.490
Yo, you home, Jarvae?
00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:34.270
What you getting into? I'm like man,
I'm going to work.
00:24:34.630 --> 00:24:36.967
I got some horses.
00:24:36.967 --> 00:24:39.253
One day I will see an old enemy.
00:24:39.253 --> 00:24:41.760
And me saying, "I'm going to work and
I got these horses"
00:24:41.803 --> 00:24:43.669
is not going to work.
00:24:44.836 --> 00:24:47.250
I feel like something gonna happen
to me,
00:24:47.250 --> 00:24:49.560
and my mom and my sister are gonna be
hurt.
00:24:52.193 --> 00:24:55.980
You feel it knocking on your back
door, like, it's coming.
00:24:58.110 --> 00:24:58.646
You done.
00:24:58.646 --> 00:25:00.300
I know you tired.
00:25:00.300 --> 00:25:01.093
You done.
00:25:12.737 --> 00:25:16.160
[indistinct chatter and music]
00:25:46.730 --> 00:25:48.140
I'm Big Crystal.
00:25:48.140 --> 00:25:51.143
And when they sentenced my son here,
they sentenced me.
00:25:51.143 --> 00:25:54.050
I never had a son go away for 11
years.
00:25:54.297 --> 00:25:57.347
I kept saying is they going to really
let him go?
00:25:57.347 --> 00:26:00.290
I said, Oh, I'm gonna be happy when I
see him.
00:26:00.347 --> 00:26:04.097
And when they opened them doors and
they couldn't shut'em?
00:26:04.097 --> 00:26:04.910
Lord.
00:26:04.910 --> 00:26:07.003
So y'all just keep us in prayer.
00:26:07.003 --> 00:26:08.180
And we're gonna keep on praying for
y'all.
00:26:08.930 --> 00:26:10.670
I want to give her a round of
applause
00:26:10.670 --> 00:26:12.120
for putting this together for all of
us man.
00:26:12.120 --> 00:26:14.560
She's so special. Look at her.
[Applause] Come here, get over here
00:26:14.560 --> 00:26:16.783
man. Her and my mom.
00:26:16.783 --> 00:26:19.350
Her and my mom. Her and my mom.
00:26:19.350 --> 00:26:21.390
I mean, I want to let everybody
know, right?
00:26:21.390 --> 00:26:22.550
This is how good they is,
00:26:22.560 --> 00:26:23.880
and it's amazing what she's doing,
right?
00:26:24.450 --> 00:26:26.377
Me and her grew up together.
00:26:26.377 --> 00:26:27.570
Mom got three kids,
00:26:27.570 --> 00:26:28.890
But it was always me and her.
00:26:28.890 --> 00:26:30.330
You understand what I'm saying?
00:26:30.330 --> 00:26:31.500
My mom left us in the house to go to
work,
00:26:32.133 --> 00:26:33.250
And I fed her.
00:26:33.250 --> 00:26:34.257
You understand what I'm saying?
00:26:34.257 --> 00:26:34.560
I always been here for my little
sister.
00:26:35.760 --> 00:26:37.800
Like I said for a long time, she
didn't know, like,
00:26:37.800 --> 00:26:39.100
how I felt about her,
00:26:39.167 --> 00:26:40.414
But I love her.
00:26:40.637 --> 00:26:41.850
Thank you all for coming out, man.
00:26:41.850 --> 00:26:42.920
Keep enjoying.
00:26:43.987 --> 00:26:46.250
I'm not an emotional person,
00:26:46.250 --> 00:26:47.490
So I'm gonna just hold back my
tears.
00:26:47.930 --> 00:26:50.880
But um, I just want to thank
everybody for coming out.
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:53.960
Bridging the Gap been in existence
for five years.
00:26:53.970 --> 00:26:55.820
Five, yes, bumpy years.
00:26:55.830 --> 00:26:57.940
It been moments where I wanted to
give up.
00:26:57.940 --> 00:26:59.427
Been moments for...
00:26:59.444 --> 00:27:01.440
while I was doing Bridging the Gap,
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.943
me and my brother wasn't even talking
00:27:02.943 --> 00:27:04.413
for like 2 years out of those years.
00:27:04.413 --> 00:27:06.120
Because our roles switched.
00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:08.510
I went from being the sister to this
baby mom,
00:27:08.510 --> 00:27:09.900
this nagging baby mom,
00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:11.937
and we just couldn't get it together.
00:27:11.937 --> 00:27:13.160
But honestly,
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:14.670
as soon as he came home, it's like.
00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:15.780
It just went right back.
00:27:15.780 --> 00:27:16.770
You know.
00:27:16.770 --> 00:27:19.230
If any of you have any loved ones
that's incarcerated,
00:27:19.230 --> 00:27:22.680
I encourage you to go see them
because they are coming home.
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:24.840
And when they do come home, we have
to be there.
00:27:24.870 --> 00:27:27.420
We have to be their backbone because
the thing is,
00:27:27.420 --> 00:27:30.030
It's easy for them to come home, but
the hard part is for them staying
00:27:30.030 --> 00:27:30.330
home.
00:27:30.580 --> 00:27:32.263
[Happy cheers]
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:53.270
I got to go to a home visit, Nyvae.
00:27:53.990 --> 00:27:55.127
Gotta hurry up.
00:27:55.930 --> 00:27:59.067
Hey, I'm running late, I just got my
nephew from school.
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:03.010
I remember in my high school
yearbook, they said,
00:28:03.010 --> 00:28:06.577
What do you want to be? "I want to be
a social worker."
00:28:06.577 --> 00:28:10.110
I go to court and I advocate for
different families.
00:28:10.120 --> 00:28:12.160
I keep families connected.
00:28:12.850 --> 00:28:14.230
Was your husband able to go to the
doctor?
00:28:15.830 --> 00:28:18.397
Ok, because I had met with DHS,
00:28:18.397 --> 00:28:20.750
and they're giving us until Monday.
00:28:22.450 --> 00:28:24.910
I knew from a child how much of an
impact
00:28:25.570 --> 00:28:28.360
a social worker can have on keeping
the family connected.
00:28:28.510 --> 00:28:29.980
And that was just from my personal
experience
00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:32.690
when DHS came to my house.
00:28:32.710 --> 00:28:36.130
I knew that that one person was
responsible for
00:28:36.370 --> 00:28:38.770
me actually staying home with my mom.
00:28:52.340 --> 00:28:54.473
How you doing?
00:28:54.473 --> 00:28:56.573
How is everybody?
00:28:59.677 --> 00:29:03.130
Oh, so you got 36 out of 37 because
you missed one.
00:29:03.130 --> 00:29:04.110
But we're working on another one,
too.
00:29:06.070 --> 00:29:07.300
So that's an improvement.
00:29:07.310 --> 00:29:09.853
You're doing your assignments.
00:29:11.419 --> 00:29:12.743
Kristal?
00:29:12.743 --> 00:29:14.992
He's not failing any of his classes?
00:29:16.213 --> 00:29:18.810
So you got different workers that's
in and out of your house,
00:29:18.810 --> 00:29:21.377
making sure that you're doing
everything right.
00:29:21.377 --> 00:29:23.100
Being a social worker,
00:29:23.100 --> 00:29:24.200
I was able to advocate for my
nephew.
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:30.110
But someone who didn't work in the
system, it can be very intimidating.
00:29:30.947 --> 00:29:31.390
Alright Nyvae, have a good one,
okay?
00:29:33.447 --> 00:29:34.813
Have a good one.
00:29:34.813 --> 00:29:37.863
When I first got Nyvae, I thought it
was going to be easy.
00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:40.900
I know a lot of the attorneys, I know
a lot of the judges.
00:29:40.900 --> 00:29:41.810
And I know a lot of the social
workers.
00:29:43.233 --> 00:29:47.054
But having somebody come into your
personal home
00:29:47.054 --> 00:29:50.000
just put a whole different level of
pressure.
00:29:50.487 --> 00:29:52.610
You always just have this worry.
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:54.017
At any moment
00:29:54.017 --> 00:29:56.990
they can decide to remove Nyvae out
of my care.
00:29:57.020 --> 00:29:59.193
And that's when I really realized
00:29:59.193 --> 00:30:01.156
we have to push for adoption.
00:30:16.313 --> 00:30:18.240
I am making some spaghetti for my
son.
00:30:19.770 --> 00:30:20.683
It's his favorite.
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:22.920
Hey, y'all.
00:30:25.843 --> 00:30:27.677
This stuff is old, come on.
00:30:29.127 --> 00:30:33.490
I just came from jail where people
would die to eat old food.
00:30:33.490 --> 00:30:36.390
Well not us. You out of jail now.
00:30:36.390 --> 00:30:36.753
How bout that?
00:30:39.050 --> 00:30:40.920
I got you something
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:44.920
Open it up.
00:30:45.630 --> 00:30:46.650
Read your card.
00:30:49.930 --> 00:30:51.190
You gonna read it to me?
00:30:51.190 --> 00:30:54.590
Alright, it says, I admire your walk
as a strong man and
00:30:54.590 --> 00:30:57.790
a good father and I appreciate you
for the person you are.
00:30:58.040 --> 00:31:01.940
Awwww gimme hug, dog.
00:31:01.940 --> 00:31:04.553
Oh, you gonna break my neck!
00:31:05.090 --> 00:31:07.807
I love you man.
00:31:13.462 --> 00:31:15.779
[laughter]
00:31:16.946 --> 00:31:18.529
[laughter]
00:31:23.556 --> 00:31:25.690
Bahhh! [laughter] No!
00:31:37.031 --> 00:31:38.314
C'mon!
00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:07.100
One of my dad's friends be wearing
them tight-behind jeans.
00:32:15.560 --> 00:32:18.200
I'm like, all over. I don't know if
I'm the mom.
00:32:19.610 --> 00:32:21.230
I don't know if I should be daughter.
00:32:21.527 --> 00:32:23.040
I don't know if I should play boss.
00:32:26.557 --> 00:32:27.774
[singing]
00:32:29.523 --> 00:32:31.470
When I'm out with friends,
00:32:31.470 --> 00:32:34.200
that's probably when I act like a 28
year old.
00:32:35.820 --> 00:32:37.390
But other than that...
00:32:37.390 --> 00:32:42.630
[laughter] so many people depend on
me.
00:32:46.170 --> 00:32:48.960
When I'm away and I'm like able to,
like, let my guard down.
00:32:50.540 --> 00:32:51.560
[singing]
00:32:54.760 --> 00:32:57.840
Not worry about everything that I'm
going through.
00:32:58.870 --> 00:33:00.940
And, you know, just live life a
little bit.
00:33:00.940 --> 00:33:06.710
I can do
00:33:06.710 --> 00:33:06.720
whatever I want.
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:06.730
I'm a grown woman!
00:33:11.004 --> 00:33:13.767
I'm actually tired. Trying to get
myself together.
00:33:15.140 --> 00:33:16.730
Every time you go away, you always
tired.
00:33:18.290 --> 00:33:22.620
I know. You wanna see the ocean?
00:33:22.620 --> 00:33:24.813
No. Kidding, yeah I want to see it.
00:33:26.410 --> 00:33:28.007
We was on a boat yesterday.
00:33:28.007 --> 00:33:32.063
We went and watched the sunset.
00:33:32.063 --> 00:33:35.230
Alright, well, I'm about to go change
my clothes.
00:33:36.130 --> 00:33:37.247
Alright.
00:33:47.553 --> 00:33:50.207
The life that I was living, it could
have been a lot worse.
00:33:50.207 --> 00:33:51.680
It's sad that I had to do all the
time.
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.230
Because it took me away from my kids,
my family and stuff.
00:33:54.230 --> 00:33:56.210
But at the end of the day, I learned
a lot.
00:33:56.210 --> 00:33:57.470
I learned patience and I learned,
like,
00:33:57.470 --> 00:33:59.360
the streets is not for me.
00:34:01.113 --> 00:34:03.800
I really appreciate my sister, you
know, because like my son,
00:34:03.830 --> 00:34:08.450
where he was living at prior to
this, it was like the worst.
00:34:09.830 --> 00:34:10.910
But you know, she gave him a second
chance.
00:34:12.263 --> 00:34:13.073
I didn't ask her,
00:34:13.073 --> 00:34:15.710
but she did it on her own to take
care of my son,
00:34:15.870 --> 00:34:17.010
You know, try to show him a different
life.
00:34:18.290 --> 00:34:19.470
I don't know how to tell her, like,
00:34:19.470 --> 00:34:21.090
I really do appreciate and love her
for that.
00:34:44.743 --> 00:34:45.787
Hello?
00:34:45.970 --> 00:34:46.737
Nyvae?
00:34:47.013 --> 00:34:47.553
Yes.
00:34:48.210 --> 00:34:49.500
I'm coming down there tomorrow.
00:34:50.057 --> 00:34:52.618
How are you going to get down here?
00:34:53.403 --> 00:34:56.203
I had got permission to stay a couple
of days if I needed to.
00:34:56.327 --> 00:34:57.911
What time you got out of school?
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:00.300
Oh, I get out of school at like 4
o'clock.
00:35:00.930 --> 00:35:02.190
Four o'clock?
00:35:02.190 --> 00:35:02.970
Yeah. 4 o'clock.
00:35:03.030 --> 00:35:06.377
Wow. It's crazy that I'm on the phone
with you.
00:35:07.210 --> 00:35:08.077
um-hm.
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:11.280
Let me -- I'm 'bout to pull the
picture up
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:13.370
and then post that one. I love you.
00:35:13.370 --> 00:35:14.454
I love you too.
00:35:14.490 --> 00:35:15.113
Alright.
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:27.373
I just, I don't want him to go into
the system.
00:35:27.913 --> 00:35:30.123
And as long as I know, he's
somewhere where he's safe
00:35:30.123 --> 00:35:32.540
and he's cool, and he's happy, I'm
good.
00:35:35.050 --> 00:35:36.773
Wherever he goes, whatever happens,
00:35:36.773 --> 00:35:39.040
I'm going to be a part of his life,
though, so it don't even matter.
00:35:39.507 --> 00:35:41.020
I want be with my aunt. And my mom.
00:35:41.037 --> 00:35:44.001
And my dad, But, like...
00:35:46.410 --> 00:35:50.304
I want to say, like I want to be with
my aunt,
00:35:50.304 --> 00:35:53.400
But I wouldn't say that in front of
my mom, because...
00:35:53.580 --> 00:35:57.320
He don't want to hurt her feelings.
00:35:57.850 --> 00:36:01.220
No, because like, because I already
know how she is,
00:36:01.220 --> 00:36:02.960
she going to, like, start like...
00:36:03.560 --> 00:36:06.950
She's going to be mad and think that
I'm pushing her aside.
00:36:07.620 --> 00:36:10.740
So that's why I don't say that in
front of my mom.
00:36:12.197 --> 00:36:15.140
Because she, she gonna think I'm
pushing her aside,
00:36:15.140 --> 00:36:16.830
think I don't love her no more.
00:36:16.830 --> 00:36:18.780
Stuff... stuff like that.
00:36:25.777 --> 00:36:26.900
I didn't get no sleep.
00:36:26.900 --> 00:36:28.080
I'm tired.
00:36:29.610 --> 00:36:30.930
I worked my job.
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:33.500
At Fox Chase, I worked three days
there.
00:36:33.500 --> 00:36:37.290
And I took a van load of people up to
[SCI] Forrest.
00:36:37.790 --> 00:36:38.630
When my daughter's not here and she
away,
00:36:40.189 --> 00:36:42.936
that's how I get fatigued.
00:36:44.030 --> 00:36:44.964
Grandson.
00:36:49.180 --> 00:36:51.620
I got a tan, look!
00:36:51.620 --> 00:36:54.540
In the field. You was in the football
field.
00:36:56.947 --> 00:36:59.030
Look! You see that light and then
that dark?
00:36:59.180 --> 00:37:00.920
Is you my color yet?
00:37:01.080 --> 00:37:04.807
No. (laughter) No, I just been
bringing him over.
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:06.190
He had football.
00:37:08.197 --> 00:37:12.350
What? What time is court tomorrow?
00:37:17.600 --> 00:37:20.600
Kristal is really looking forward to
adopting her nephew.
00:37:21.730 --> 00:37:26.530
She's like really looking forward to
it.
00:37:30.230 --> 00:37:33.730
It's been dragging for the last,
what, three years?
00:37:33.730 --> 00:37:36.443
For real for real, I'll be glad when
this is all over.
00:37:49.650 --> 00:37:55.560
You have a call from Pennsylvania
State Correctional Institution.
00:37:55.930 --> 00:37:57.300
Dad, now, how do it feel to be
paroled?
00:37:59.407 --> 00:38:00.040
Huh?
00:38:00.040 --> 00:38:02.250
I said, so how do it feel, after 24
years?
00:38:04.147 --> 00:38:05.940
Well, well well, it feels good,
00:38:05.940 --> 00:38:10.350
But it'll feel even better when I
walk out on solid ground.
00:38:10.350 --> 00:38:10.800
[laughter]
00:38:12.253 --> 00:38:13.886
Oh man, what's your sizes again?
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:14.587
3x.
00:38:15.121 --> 00:38:18.754
Dad, you not no 3x.
00:38:19.170 --> 00:38:20.870
Well 2x then.
00:38:20.970 --> 00:38:22.620
You want all this stuff to be extra
big.
00:38:25.060 --> 00:38:26.920
Well, I don't want nothing tight.
00:38:28.710 --> 00:38:31.543
You don't want to be like these young
guys?
00:38:31.577 --> 00:38:34.263
No, I don't want to be. I'm not a
young guy no more.
00:38:35.250 --> 00:38:36.420
Mmm mmm mmm, you got to make up 24
years.
00:38:36.780 --> 00:38:38.190
You got to go back 24 years.
00:38:38.240 --> 00:38:42.000
Oh, well, you know what, baby, you
can't make up 24 years.
00:38:42.073 --> 00:38:43.200
No you can't.
00:38:44.540 --> 00:38:46.113
You gotta go ahead and move on with
life now.
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:49.610
Call you tomorrow morning at 7:45.
00:38:49.730 --> 00:38:51.200
Baby, I love you.
00:38:51.200 --> 00:38:53.117
Alright, love you too dad.
00:39:23.497 --> 00:39:24.910
Come on, I want one good family
picture!
00:39:26.764 --> 00:39:28.960
Dad, move over.
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:29.757
I am. This is a selfie!
00:39:29.873 --> 00:39:31.223
A selfie?
00:39:32.390 --> 00:39:35.790
I felt like a little girl, like,
ohhhh, my mom and my dad!
00:39:36.190 --> 00:39:38.800
I never had a picture with both
parents.
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:41.433
Just even just at that moment,
00:39:41.433 --> 00:39:44.983
it was like, wow, I really have like
my mom and my dad here.
00:39:44.983 --> 00:39:47.276
For once it feels, like, normal.
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:51.240
I used to say,
00:39:51.240 --> 00:39:55.770
I hope that you ain't mad at me for
not being in your life.
00:39:56.470 --> 00:39:58.793
I cared even though I wasn't there.
00:40:01.610 --> 00:40:06.740
It didn't seem like 24, but it felt
like 24, for real.
00:40:07.670 --> 00:40:09.670
You know, and I was just, you know,
00:40:09.670 --> 00:40:12.102
blessed to be coming home, you know
what I mean?
00:40:14.450 --> 00:40:16.970
See, see my little girl.
00:40:16.970 --> 00:40:18.530
Well, not no little girl, you know?
00:40:18.530 --> 00:40:19.930
But...
00:40:19.930 --> 00:40:20.640
My big girl.
00:40:49.470 --> 00:40:54.277
Me, I just hope, you know, I get a
steady, nice job.
00:40:55.077 --> 00:40:58.180
And now, you know, like I told her,
00:40:58.180 --> 00:40:59.890
You know, I take care of the vans for
you.
00:41:01.030 --> 00:41:02.650
I wash the vans.
00:41:02.950 --> 00:41:04.240
You don't got to worry about that.
00:41:05.290 --> 00:41:06.670
And that's that's what I do.
00:41:09.040 --> 00:41:12.133
I moved into a little efficiency.
00:41:12.783 --> 00:41:14.260
Kristal help pay the rent.
00:41:14.260 --> 00:41:18.443
So I'm depending on her, you know,
unless something come up.
00:41:18.443 --> 00:41:21.653
But I'm not going to do nothing
illegal to get some money,
00:41:21.653 --> 00:41:24.263
Because, no, I'm not going back.
00:41:24.263 --> 00:41:26.690
I'm not going to leave her again.
00:41:27.553 --> 00:41:30.166
Yeah, everything was like new.
00:41:31.367 --> 00:41:33.620
It still is like new.
00:41:33.620 --> 00:41:38.290
And I still haven't learned how to
use the computer yet.
00:41:44.380 --> 00:41:48.700
I say, you got to crawl before you
walk, so therefore,
00:41:49.900 --> 00:41:51.050
I'm crawling now.
00:41:51.070 --> 00:41:53.320
You know, so eventually I'm going to
walk.
00:41:53.710 --> 00:41:55.830
Because all the applications I'm
putting in.
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:57.130
They ain't going to keep saying no
now.
00:42:06.350 --> 00:42:08.067
Riding around with my daddy!
00:42:08.717 --> 00:42:11.910
This is the first time he ever bought
me lunch.
00:42:12.427 --> 00:42:15.270
He been locked up for 25 years, but
he out now.
00:42:15.270 --> 00:42:16.217
Look at you.
00:42:17.790 --> 00:42:20.983
So every Wednesday, my dad come and
he wash the vans
00:42:20.983 --> 00:42:22.830
and he make sure that everything is
good.
00:42:23.670 --> 00:42:27.270
But this Wednesday, he left me his
resume.
00:42:29.270 --> 00:42:31.010
We are out in the rain!
00:42:35.970 --> 00:42:37.320
I decided to come and buy him some
socks,
00:42:38.223 --> 00:42:40.539
and things that he can just sell.
00:42:43.690 --> 00:42:45.749
How many come in there?
00:42:47.866 --> 00:42:51.066
I'll try to sell two pair of these
for five dollars.
00:42:54.950 --> 00:42:58.690
My dad done got somebody to draw
this for me,
00:42:58.690 --> 00:42:59.780
and a T-shirt.
00:42:59.780 --> 00:43:00.810
Bridging the Gap.
00:43:00.810 --> 00:43:04.010
They are so creative in prison.
00:43:04.010 --> 00:43:05.760
So creative. Thanks dad!
00:43:19.890 --> 00:43:22.460
Oh, man, this is not right.
00:43:22.460 --> 00:43:23.690
I can't see, my eyes.
00:43:23.690 --> 00:43:25.193
It's like, so itchy.
00:43:25.293 --> 00:43:27.330
Tell your mom to bring you over some
eye drops.
00:43:27.330 --> 00:43:30.330
Oh, here go the key dad. That check
engine light came on.
00:43:44.050 --> 00:43:47.200
My issue is I'm doing too much.
00:43:48.910 --> 00:43:52.737
I'm doing the van service, I'm doing
this stuff with Nyvae.
00:43:53.083 --> 00:43:55.770
And then Jarvae...
00:43:55.770 --> 00:44:00.870
I'm just, I'm just real shocked at
how uninvolved he is with Nyvae.
00:44:04.820 --> 00:44:08.753
Well, my aunt asked me, Do I want to
go away?
00:44:08.970 --> 00:44:11.870
I want to go to Egypt to see like the
pyramids,
00:44:12.334 --> 00:44:14.660
And that's what we learn at school in
history.
00:44:14.951 --> 00:44:17.420
We also learn like where Egypt is
located.
00:44:18.253 --> 00:44:21.170
It's in North East Africa.
00:44:21.170 --> 00:44:23.540
That's what I learned in history.
00:44:24.580 --> 00:44:25.960
I also wanna go to Alabama.
00:44:27.727 --> 00:44:31.940
I just want to see the, like, Martin
Luther King stuff.
00:44:51.170 --> 00:44:52.453
Is this her block?
00:44:53.810 --> 00:44:55.130
Hello?
00:44:55.130 --> 00:44:55.370
I'm outside.
00:44:55.370 --> 00:44:58.010
Good morning.
00:45:03.590 --> 00:45:07.156
Her brother is one of the oldest
people in Huntingdon.
00:45:07.156 --> 00:45:08.850
And they've been going up there
faithfully.
00:45:11.160 --> 00:45:12.643
It's been 40 years?
00:45:12.676 --> 00:45:13.726
Mmm-hm.
00:45:13.913 --> 00:45:15.170
What? I my gosh.
00:45:16.187 --> 00:45:18.430
Oh man.
00:45:18.430 --> 00:45:19.700
Do he fall underneath the juvenile
lifers?
00:45:20.843 --> 00:45:24.140
You know, I really, I can't even
remember Kristal.
00:45:24.260 --> 00:45:27.480
That's how long... it just, out of
my mind.
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:30.427
But that's good y'all still going out
there to see him though.
00:45:30.644 --> 00:45:32.980
He's still family.
00:45:32.980 --> 00:45:34.871
He's still family.
00:45:34.871 --> 00:45:37.110
I don't care. To death.
00:45:37.110 --> 00:45:38.166
Right.
00:45:38.350 --> 00:45:39.913
[indistinct chatter]
00:45:45.597 --> 00:45:47.847
Alright, if you guys are going to
Benner and Rockview
00:45:47.847 --> 00:45:49.530
you all can get on this black van.
00:45:50.380 --> 00:45:53.787
Did y'all see my dad did this van,
too? It's all shiny.
00:46:08.614 --> 00:46:10.874
It's not just you doing the time.
00:46:10.874 --> 00:46:12.240
It's us, too.
00:46:12.240 --> 00:46:14.940
At the end of the day, we do that
with you.
00:46:14.940 --> 00:46:19.290
When you call and you complain, and
like, I want to be home.
00:46:19.290 --> 00:46:21.830
That takes a toll on us, too.
00:46:21.830 --> 00:46:25.650
You don't see that, you know what I
mean? We're not out here just doing
00:46:25.650 --> 00:46:26.890
nothing, like.
00:46:27.257 --> 00:46:29.610
It's time for him to to definitely
step up or whatever.
00:46:29.610 --> 00:46:32.960
Because you've been taking these
trips in these mountains.
00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:35.420
That ain't no joke. My ass hurts.
00:46:35.420 --> 00:46:37.103
Exactly. It's ain't no joke.
00:46:37.103 --> 00:46:38.670
Even when I had my car,
00:46:38.670 --> 00:46:40.083
I would drive.
00:46:42.740 --> 00:46:44.330
It's traumatic just to go to a
prison.
00:46:46.720 --> 00:46:48.820
I would drop people off and, you
know,
00:46:48.970 --> 00:46:51.050
just be out there very emotional.
00:46:52.040 --> 00:46:54.380
Looking at this prison like, damn,
00:46:54.380 --> 00:46:56.180
this place is what really broke up my
family?
00:46:58.480 --> 00:46:59.650
All the searches.
00:46:59.650 --> 00:47:02.890
And the distance that they're placing
our people in.
00:47:02.890 --> 00:47:03.970
The treatment that they got to go
through.
00:47:05.710 --> 00:47:08.560
The dynamic of a prison, it's set up
to break us.
00:47:12.680 --> 00:47:15.174
Ladies, have a nice visit!
00:47:15.174 --> 00:47:16.357
Thank you, you, too.
00:47:28.656 --> 00:47:30.522
You taking our picture?
00:47:30.572 --> 00:47:31.822
[laughter]
00:48:05.190 --> 00:48:06.617
All right Tasheen.
00:48:06.617 --> 00:48:08.170
I'm going to text you tomorrow.
00:48:08.170 --> 00:48:11.340
Ok. Alright Miss Williams, thank you
!
00:48:13.860 --> 00:48:15.667
His phone just went to voicemail.
00:48:15.820 --> 00:48:16.987
The next block.
00:48:19.140 --> 00:48:21.060
Oh God.
00:48:21.060 --> 00:48:21.230
Oh god.
00:48:26.087 --> 00:48:28.504
Got the cops coming and
00:48:28.504 --> 00:48:30.470
kicking my mom's door down again.
00:48:31.370 --> 00:48:33.090
No! I work too hard for everything I
got.
00:48:34.870 --> 00:48:36.630
I know, I know.
00:48:39.410 --> 00:48:41.250
No, they didn't call or nothing.
00:48:47.940 --> 00:48:49.173
Um, hm.
00:48:52.900 --> 00:48:54.130
Mmm.
00:48:54.130 --> 00:48:55.390
It's like I'm reliving this shit
again.
00:49:01.230 --> 00:49:04.010
She's seen the papers out there that
proved that the warrant...
00:49:04.010 --> 00:49:06.200
It was a search warrant for Jarvae.
00:49:07.343 --> 00:49:08.700
For an assault
00:49:08.700 --> 00:49:09.967
and a shooting.
00:49:11.627 --> 00:49:13.710
That's basically what happened.
00:49:13.710 --> 00:49:16.320
The cops came in just terrorized
everything.
00:49:27.703 --> 00:49:29.813
The people that kicked my door in,
the cops,
00:49:29.813 --> 00:49:30.980
They tore... My house is in a
shamble.
00:49:32.900 --> 00:49:36.620
I don't know how they knew that to
come directly here or what.
00:49:36.650 --> 00:49:39.620
Mommy was out helping me pick people
up this morning.
00:49:41.420 --> 00:49:44.660
She came home at around 6.30, like 7
o'clock,
00:49:44.660 --> 00:49:46.717
about to go to church and she didn't
want to come in.
00:49:46.717 --> 00:49:48.830
Because she thought somebody else
came in.
00:49:48.830 --> 00:49:50.850
Come to find out it was the cops
coming here searching,
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:51.887
Looking for you.
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:54.330
So what is they saying?
00:49:55.883 --> 00:49:58.020
So they saying it's for an assault.
00:49:58.020 --> 00:50:00.180
And a shooting or something like that
.
00:50:01.747 --> 00:50:02.547
Oh.
00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:06.260
My whole thing is what you got to
say,
00:50:06.530 --> 00:50:08.450
"Alright." Say, "Sorry, mom."
00:50:08.450 --> 00:50:10.150
Like this, this is what like come on
you, you're too calm.
00:50:10.150 --> 00:50:11.434
[inaudible]
00:50:11.467 --> 00:50:13.344
What are you talking about?
00:50:13.427 --> 00:50:15.870
No. Apologize to your mom.
00:50:15.870 --> 00:50:17.126
That's what you need to do.
00:50:17.176 --> 00:50:18.810
She knows I'm sorry. What the fuck
are you talkin' bout?
00:50:19.077 --> 00:50:20.960
No, she don't know that you're sorry.
00:50:21.680 --> 00:50:24.767
All calm. Everything that she ever
f-cking got to go through.
00:50:24.767 --> 00:50:26.090
Is because of you.
00:50:26.090 --> 00:50:28.187
Say that you f-cking sorry.
00:50:28.187 --> 00:50:30.174
(Jarve HANGS UP) Sitting here,
acting all calm.
00:50:30.174 --> 00:50:31.684
He ain't about to turn himself in.
00:50:37.300 --> 00:50:38.990
He ain't gonna come in here and clean
it up.
00:50:40.550 --> 00:50:41.780
Nobody gonna make her do it by
herself.
00:50:43.640 --> 00:50:46.280
The women always got to be left to
pick up the damn mess.
00:50:54.830 --> 00:50:56.700
I just asked him to to turn himself
in.
00:50:59.610 --> 00:51:02.403
He talking about he's not going back
to jail.
00:51:05.980 --> 00:51:10.130
I said, you know, I have no money,
for no lawyers or nothing.
00:51:10.370 --> 00:51:11.470
I don't have it.
00:51:11.470 --> 00:51:12.710
I don't, I don't.
00:51:12.710 --> 00:51:14.120
Why you do this to me?
00:51:22.419 --> 00:51:25.030
Do you love your savior?
00:51:25.330 --> 00:51:26.276
Give him praise today.
00:51:26.276 --> 00:51:28.820
Jesus alone is worthy.
00:51:29.820 --> 00:51:29.830
I said he alone is worthy.
00:51:30.724 --> 00:51:32.580
I want to just shake it.
00:51:32.580 --> 00:51:36.534
I just want everything just to be
over like, you know.
00:51:36.534 --> 00:51:39.976
It's like, you know, the roller
coaster that won't stop.
00:51:39.976 --> 00:51:40.476
Yeah.
00:51:40.476 --> 00:51:45.603
It just keeps spinning around, and
around and around.
00:51:47.837 --> 00:51:49.320
Just keep taking deep breaths.
00:51:49.830 --> 00:51:52.016
You gotta breathe.
00:51:52.016 --> 00:51:57.349
[Deep breaths]
00:52:27.179 --> 00:52:28.797
When my dad got locked up,
00:52:28.797 --> 00:52:30.347
I didn't have nothing to say about
that.
00:52:30.347 --> 00:52:32.990
That's on him. Like, that's on him.
00:52:32.990 --> 00:52:36.010
My mom, when I kept hearing my mom
kept getting locked up?
00:52:36.010 --> 00:52:39.880
That's on her, too. That's her fault.
00:52:41.470 --> 00:52:43.510
He coulda stayed out of jail.
00:52:44.080 --> 00:52:45.790
He had a girlfriend.
00:52:46.270 --> 00:52:47.590
He had a job.
00:52:48.790 --> 00:52:50.543
He was chillling.
00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:52.330
He was getting money.
00:52:53.460 --> 00:52:54.260
Chillin.
00:52:54.260 --> 00:52:58.827
That's when, he messed up I guess.
00:52:58.827 --> 00:53:00.480
Like all people.
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:01.157
[sigh]
00:53:09.120 --> 00:53:12.150
He got a 43 percent in history, a 43.
00:53:12.150 --> 00:53:14.223
That's like you ain't do nothing.
00:53:14.730 --> 00:53:16.530
Yo! He missed so much, like he
missed.
00:53:17.220 --> 00:53:17.430
..
00:53:17.430 --> 00:53:20.130
There's all these incomplete
assignments and everything.
00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:24.317
So then I checked the thing, they
gave him a printout on the 17th.
00:53:24.317 --> 00:53:25.930
He knew that he had an F.
00:53:26.397 --> 00:53:28.517
But you're sitting here showing me
all the other stuff.
00:53:28.517 --> 00:53:30.694
When you got A's and B's.
00:53:31.690 --> 00:53:33.940
What is the create your own
civilization?
00:53:33.970 --> 00:53:35.650
That you got an F in?
00:53:36.130 --> 00:53:38.980
You got an F in homework, F in
assessment, F in classwork.
00:53:38.980 --> 00:53:42.713
You just, you done got an F all
around the board.
00:53:42.747 --> 00:53:44.320
Why didn't you look at this?
00:53:44.990 --> 00:53:48.390
Did you look at it? So why you
didn't come tell me?
00:53:48.390 --> 00:53:51.410
You so sneaky. I cannot believe you.
00:53:51.410 --> 00:53:52.810
Yeah you real, you're real sneaky.
00:53:53.550 --> 00:53:55.640
I dont like...
00:53:55.640 --> 00:53:58.017
I don't know. What's up with you?
00:53:58.017 --> 00:53:59.037
[mumble]
00:53:59.037 --> 00:54:00.154
Huh?
00:54:02.910 --> 00:54:03.920
It don't matter where it go.
00:54:03.920 --> 00:54:05.000
You need to do all that work.
00:54:05.100 --> 00:54:06.100
[mumble]
00:54:06.740 --> 00:54:08.693
Yo, stop f-cking playing with me.
00:54:08.693 --> 00:54:10.910
It don't f-cking matter where the
f-ck it go.
00:54:10.910 --> 00:54:13.730
And why are you even writing on this
anyway? Go get a book, go get a
00:54:13.730 --> 00:54:15.756
book. Like, come on.
00:54:17.990 --> 00:54:19.340
You sitting up here...
00:54:19.340 --> 00:54:22.610
You like, how you got all these
missing assignments?
00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:25.650
When was you going to chose to do
them?
00:54:25.680 --> 00:54:28.477
Where your math folder at?
00:54:28.477 --> 00:54:30.700
It's there.
00:54:31.330 --> 00:54:34.630
Like, come on. You need to wipe down
all this.
00:54:34.660 --> 00:54:35.380
Straighten up.
00:54:35.740 --> 00:54:36.580
Wipe it all down.
00:54:37.270 --> 00:54:38.740
Take all this stuff out. Refold
everything.
00:54:39.190 --> 00:54:41.140
I'm not playing with you. You're not
playing basketball.
00:54:42.520 --> 00:54:46.930
[indistinct yelling] ...I check
Nyvae book bag...
00:54:49.390 --> 00:54:52.230
Like right now, how my aunt,
00:54:52.230 --> 00:54:54.790
how my aunt just was yelling at me.
00:54:54.790 --> 00:54:57.950
I tried like, like ...
00:54:57.950 --> 00:55:01.063
I did have good grades. Like last
year I always had bad grades.
00:55:01.063 --> 00:55:04.270
I always had like Cs and stuff.
00:55:04.270 --> 00:55:07.870
And like, she used to always yell at
me and stuff.
00:55:09.467 --> 00:55:11.300
Now, Imma gonna bring..
00:55:11.300 --> 00:55:13.160
I'm a... I'm a umm,
00:55:13.160 --> 00:55:15.510
Imma bring my grades up.
00:55:15.750 --> 00:55:17.490
And that's when she gonna be sorry.
00:55:17.490 --> 00:55:17.500
So that's why I don't ask for her
help.
00:55:26.300 --> 00:55:27.370
Are you ready to go around the
corner?
00:55:28.974 --> 00:55:30.840
She said the same one...
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:32.380
I hope they right size.
00:55:32.410 --> 00:55:36.790
She said the same side, on the
driver's side.
00:55:36.790 --> 00:55:38.923
I got that van key right here.
00:55:44.820 --> 00:55:47.370
I learned this over the years, I've
been with her.
00:55:47.370 --> 00:55:49.716
My aunt never can't be wrong.
00:55:49.716 --> 00:55:50.790
She has to be right.
00:55:50.970 --> 00:55:52.153
Everything.
00:55:52.153 --> 00:55:53.490
Everything she do. She got to be
right.
00:55:54.240 --> 00:55:55.870
She can't be wrong.
00:55:55.870 --> 00:56:00.547
Like, just, she never can just, like,
make a mistake or whatever.
00:56:00.547 --> 00:56:02.817
She always got to be right.
00:56:09.683 --> 00:56:14.680
Alright dad, see if they got the
tire.
00:56:14.710 --> 00:56:19.053
Nyvae, he has two living parents that
pick and choose
00:56:19.053 --> 00:56:23.053
when they want to call, when they
want to be involved.
00:56:23.337 --> 00:56:27.487
For all these years, it was kind of
like a hold-back.
00:56:27.487 --> 00:56:28.880
Like I didn't want to overstep
boundaries
00:56:29.900 --> 00:56:31.640
that his mother role should have
been.
00:56:32.263 --> 00:56:34.447
But as he's getting older.
00:56:34.447 --> 00:56:37.090
He'll say things like, like, even
with football,
00:56:37.100 --> 00:56:39.207
like, alright, can you just act like
you my mom?
00:56:40.520 --> 00:56:42.290
He just want his parents.
00:56:54.147 --> 00:56:55.930
After my brother fixed the door,
00:56:55.930 --> 00:56:57.910
it was two Wednesdays after that,
00:56:57.910 --> 00:56:59.350
it happened again.
00:56:59.350 --> 00:57:01.880
The cops came back the second time
and kicked my door in.
00:57:02.020 --> 00:57:03.310
It makes me angry.
00:57:03.700 --> 00:57:04.780
I feel as though I have been
violated.
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:08.160
I'm a homeowner here.
00:57:08.500 --> 00:57:09.610
I don't owe nothing on this.
00:57:09.636 --> 00:57:11.476
No mortgage. I'm a homeowner.
00:57:12.670 --> 00:57:15.880
They do not do that to the white
people at all.
00:57:17.020 --> 00:57:18.220
Why do it to me?
00:57:19.460 --> 00:57:23.506
It still makes me angry, but I try to
control it,
00:57:23.506 --> 00:57:25.680
because I was just hurting myself.
00:57:26.971 --> 00:57:29.754
And the power, and the glory.
00:57:32.940 --> 00:57:34.240
Forever.
00:57:36.490 --> 00:57:38.690
And if your faith is in action,
00:57:39.070 --> 00:57:43.287
it ought to be able to go and touch
people in their need.
00:57:43.990 --> 00:57:46.210
I just want you to touch someone.
00:57:47.530 --> 00:57:49.660
I always use that word, Why?
00:57:49.660 --> 00:57:51.473
Why'd this happen?
00:57:52.063 --> 00:57:54.656
Like now, my problem is like my
oldest son, Jabo,
00:57:54.656 --> 00:57:56.590
somebody said he's out there on
drugs,
00:57:56.990 --> 00:57:59.026
taking them pills and stuff.
00:57:59.140 --> 00:58:02.260
I rode past where he be at and seen
him on the porch.
00:58:02.260 --> 00:58:04.590
He had this hoodie on, beard looked
like he need a cut.
00:58:04.780 --> 00:58:07.360
So I go back around the block to give
him $20.
00:58:08.080 --> 00:58:09.160
He was back in the house.
00:58:09.160 --> 00:58:12.550
I wasn't knockin' on the door, cause
I know he doing bad.
00:58:12.550 --> 00:58:15.490
But I don't know. I guess he don't
want to see me...
00:58:15.490 --> 00:58:16.720
Like, me see him like that.
00:58:19.070 --> 00:58:20.420
So I be depressed about that.
00:58:20.450 --> 00:58:22.023
That's my oldest child.
00:58:23.946 --> 00:58:26.713
I couldn't imagine being without any
of my kids.
00:58:26.713 --> 00:58:29.083
One of my kids gettin' killed or
somethin'...
00:58:29.083 --> 00:58:30.917
I think Imma go with 'em.
00:58:30.917 --> 00:58:32.601
It's that mother love.
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:42.030
Here we go. It's coming,
00:58:43.290 --> 00:58:44.370
It's coming.
00:58:44.370 --> 00:58:49.084
It's coming. Got a whole billboard.
00:58:49.134 --> 00:58:51.050
I should have brought my phone!
00:58:52.740 --> 00:58:54.410
Let me take a picture, you come over
this way.
00:58:56.410 --> 00:58:59.030
Join our team, now hiring.
00:59:18.350 --> 00:59:21.496
Nyvae, you dressed?
00:59:21.496 --> 00:59:22.493
No.
00:59:33.530 --> 00:59:35.590
[chatter of boys playing]
00:59:40.520 --> 00:59:42.620
[singing] Happy birthday to you,
00:59:44.060 --> 00:59:47.060
Happy birthday dear Nyvae.
00:59:47.660 --> 00:59:50.270
How old are you?
00:59:50.710 --> 00:59:51.613
13.
00:59:54.810 --> 00:59:55.937
Hey!!!
00:59:55.937 --> 00:59:57.670
Do we have a birthday boy today?
00:59:57.670 --> 00:59:58.317
Me.
00:59:58.317 --> 00:59:59.973
What's your name?
00:59:59.973 --> 01:00:01.270
Nyvae.
01:00:01.270 --> 01:00:02.310
Best part about it being Nyvae's
birthday
01:00:02.907 --> 01:00:04.230
is he does not have to give up his
controller.
01:00:06.570 --> 01:00:10.760
[Video game sounds]
01:00:15.550 --> 01:00:19.130
[Boys laughing]
01:00:26.263 --> 01:00:28.263
Akhi, you need to grow.
01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:33.854
Nyvae, take your hood off.
01:00:36.370 --> 01:00:37.320
Wooooo.
01:00:39.097 --> 01:00:40.747
[Indistinct chatter]
01:00:43.120 --> 01:00:44.230
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
01:00:44.710 --> 01:00:47.523
All right. [Chatter]
01:00:47.523 --> 01:00:48.910
Alright count to ten!
01:00:50.060 --> 01:00:53.343
Nine, ten, here I come!
01:00:53.343 --> 01:00:55.760
I'm gonna find you!
01:01:03.177 --> 01:01:04.584
I got today.
01:01:04.584 --> 01:01:06.100
Why you going to court?
01:01:06.140 --> 01:01:07.673
For Nyvae, for the adoption.
01:01:07.673 --> 01:01:08.679
Oh, okay.
01:01:28.727 --> 01:01:30.277
It still ain't finalized.
01:01:30.277 --> 01:01:31.410
What happened?
01:01:31.843 --> 01:01:33.713
I was able to speak to one of the
judges cuz
01:01:33.713 --> 01:01:36.223
I had told them that I had a prison
van service and
01:01:36.223 --> 01:01:39.310
after court she kind of pulled me to
the side and said that ummm
01:01:40.300 --> 01:01:42.340
I think a lot of judges is getting in
trouble
01:01:43.300 --> 01:01:46.900
because they're terminating on
parental rights without allowing
01:01:46.900 --> 01:01:49.810
incarcerated parents, to um, you
know, informing them.
01:01:49.923 --> 01:01:51.023
All right, thank you.
01:01:51.023 --> 01:01:52.750
So I told her like, you know,
01:01:52.750 --> 01:01:54.530
I had them since she was like 6 or 7.
01:01:54.550 --> 01:01:56.200
Now he's 13. She was like, Wait,
what?
01:01:56.860 --> 01:01:59.050
The system is just flawed, period.
01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:02.200
Because they're not moving on their
end,
01:02:02.210 --> 01:02:04.460
we got to redo everything every year.
01:02:04.460 --> 01:02:05.860
The judge just was like,
01:02:05.860 --> 01:02:07.330
Well do got anything that you want to
add?
01:02:07.383 --> 01:02:08.680
I said, The only thing I want to add
is,
01:02:08.853 --> 01:02:10.600
when will my adoption will be
finalized?
01:02:36.890 --> 01:02:38.471
Yeah it's me, big brother.
01:02:41.590 --> 01:02:44.190
Yo! There's Jabo.
01:02:45.590 --> 01:02:48.190
Aw, happy Mother's Day!
01:02:50.906 --> 01:02:53.503
Jarve and Jabo came home.
01:02:53.787 --> 01:02:55.920
For all these years while they were
in prison,
01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:57.820
it was really just me and my mom.
01:02:58.560 --> 01:03:00.570
I wanted to have that feeling of
just,
01:03:01.170 --> 01:03:03.300
having my family complete.
01:03:03.300 --> 01:03:04.560
Having my mom happy.
01:03:04.560 --> 01:03:06.750
I can't even remember when the last
time she had
01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:09.643
all of her children together.
01:03:09.690 --> 01:03:12.553
I thought I'd give my mom that for
her Mother's Day.
01:03:13.190 --> 01:03:17.020
[Indistinct talking]
01:03:32.163 --> 01:03:34.173
She sent me her report cards.
01:03:34.173 --> 01:03:35.780
I even put some of her letters in
there.
01:03:39.510 --> 01:03:41.100
Hey! What's up buddy.
01:03:47.870 --> 01:03:50.343
When you don't use blinkers, that's
when accidents happen.
01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:53.050
No, because I know when I'm moving!
01:03:53.050 --> 01:03:53.060
[laughter].
01:03:53.060 --> 01:03:53.090
When I seen you shoot over, with no
blinker,
01:03:55.356 --> 01:03:55.366
I tried to call your phone...
[laughter]
01:04:10.866 --> 01:04:13.233
All of em is her, from little all
the way up.
01:04:13.233 --> 01:04:14.820
Yeah, I made that when I was in
jail.
01:04:15.970 --> 01:04:16.880
See you next week. Be safe. Be
careful!
01:04:17.640 --> 01:04:18.817
Alright, you too!
01:04:44.633 --> 01:04:49.380
So I'm having a lunch date over here
by the water with my father.
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:56.020
And, what's so crazy is, he maybe
going back to jail.
01:04:57.470 --> 01:05:00.380
For a parole, for a parole violation.
01:05:00.423 --> 01:05:02.143
So he was selling marijuana socks.
01:05:02.143 --> 01:05:05.386
His parole agent came out to the
house yesterday.
01:05:05.463 --> 01:05:11.153
And seen the sock and said that he is
encouraging illegal drugs.
01:05:11.273 --> 01:05:13.420
Another one of the things was, he
couldn't
01:05:13.720 --> 01:05:15.507
work under the table.
01:05:15.523 --> 01:05:17.170
So basically he couldn't sell socks,
01:05:17.170 --> 01:05:19.120
he needed to be on, like, a payroll.
01:05:19.120 --> 01:05:21.460
So, when you're released from prison,
01:05:21.460 --> 01:05:23.110
You're still being supervised.
01:05:23.110 --> 01:05:25.870
For my dad to be possibly going back
to jail.
01:05:25.870 --> 01:05:29.470
For selling socks that I bought him,
01:05:29.470 --> 01:05:32.860
And I thought was a legitimate
business, is crazy.
01:05:32.860 --> 01:05:34.810
People be like, "Oh my God, your dad
is out."
01:05:34.810 --> 01:05:37.420
"Like, How are you stressed?
Shouldn't it be good?"
01:05:37.420 --> 01:05:39.370
Yeah it's good, but at the same time,
01:05:39.370 --> 01:05:43.150
You still have to be reminded at any
wrongdoing, he can go back.
01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:52.600
I don't even have prison clothes no
more.
01:05:52.610 --> 01:05:53.660
I wear this.
01:05:56.210 --> 01:05:58.290
I've don't even got a prison bra.
01:05:59.070 --> 01:06:06.980
Lord. I'm just dealing with my
01:06:06.980 --> 01:06:09.350
father being re-incarcerated.
01:06:09.380 --> 01:06:12.470
For selling pepper spray and socks.
01:06:12.470 --> 01:06:14.813
So he got to do six months.
01:06:17.887 --> 01:06:19.447
I think it's very unfortunate.
01:06:19.447 --> 01:06:23.640
He had jobs, he had things lined up,
all his stuff was situated.
01:06:23.640 --> 01:06:26.370
So for everything just to be cut off
and then here it is,
01:06:26.370 --> 01:06:29.793
he got to start all over again, it's
just like an interruption.
01:06:29.793 --> 01:06:32.130
I mean, that's what frustrates me.
01:06:32.730 --> 01:06:34.987
On my way to see my daddy.
01:06:44.573 --> 01:06:47.920
It is traumatic when your loved one
is going back to prison.
01:06:47.950 --> 01:06:52.000
When you're sitting up here and
you're trying to live your life.
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:56.920
Trying to put the prisons and all the
trauma behind you
01:06:56.920 --> 01:06:59.723
and you've got to just relive it.
01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:10.173
I don't think Black women, I don't
think we're
01:07:10.173 --> 01:07:13.370
given enough credit for how much we
actually bear.
01:07:15.300 --> 01:07:18.750
I'm looked at as, "Oh, she's strong,
she's fine."
01:07:20.100 --> 01:07:23.670
When really the strongest people have
moments where,
01:07:23.670 --> 01:07:26.396
you know, they break down.
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:28.770
I used to think it was more so like,
01:07:28.780 --> 01:07:30.580
I'm the youngest, I'm my mom's only
girl.
01:07:31.300 --> 01:07:35.217
This is how I ended up in college and
I didn't end up in prison.
01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:37.530
But as time went on,
01:07:37.530 --> 01:07:41.820
I started realizing it is systems
that are in place
01:07:41.820 --> 01:07:44.190
that disrupt the Black family.
01:07:45.470 --> 01:07:48.650
Although it was that individual that
made that choice,
01:07:48.650 --> 01:07:50.797
I think it goes hand in hand.
01:07:52.290 --> 01:07:54.990
We can do everything in our power.
01:07:54.990 --> 01:07:57.450
If they don't like all the efforts,
01:07:57.467 --> 01:07:59.250
they can take it all away.
01:08:17.517 --> 01:08:20.684
Nyvae, pass me my makeup bag. You
need it now?
01:08:20.684 --> 01:08:23.234
We about to blowdry this side again.
01:08:23.700 --> 01:08:25.610
Yesss, this my birthday gift from
you.
01:08:26.236 --> 01:08:27.760
The only way I would do it straight
is...
01:08:28.300 --> 01:08:28.964
I can do a bun.
01:08:28.964 --> 01:08:32.584
Why don't you wear a curly bun?
You'll be real mami-ish.
01:08:33.343 --> 01:08:35.490
Mommy-ish? I was about to say, bish,
01:08:35.490 --> 01:08:38.510
I ain't trying to be 30 looking like
a mom!
01:08:38.543 --> 01:08:39.860
We working with what we got.
01:08:40.010 --> 01:08:40.580
Still could be
01:08:40.580 --> 01:08:51.430
professional...ish.
01:08:51.430 --> 01:08:51.440
[laughter]
01:08:51.440 --> 01:08:51.983
I'm turning 30. I'm getting old.
01:08:51.983 --> 01:08:53.930
And I actually feel really good.
01:08:53.930 --> 01:08:55.137
Accomplished.
01:08:55.137 --> 01:08:56.947
It's not even that I feel old.
01:08:56.947 --> 01:09:00.467
The scary part is, I did so much in
my 20s.
01:09:01.107 --> 01:09:02.470
Now that I think I'm in my 30s,
01:09:02.470 --> 01:09:03.550
I feel like, Wow.
01:09:03.550 --> 01:09:04.793
OK, now what else?
01:09:04.793 --> 01:09:06.180
Come on. Bring it.
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:09.030
You feel my Nyvae?
01:09:09.030 --> 01:09:10.163
Yes m'am.
01:09:18.250 --> 01:09:21.380
Surprise
01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:26.530
! Happy Birthday!
01:09:30.194 --> 01:09:32.070
Why'd you ask me what was I doing?
01:09:32.070 --> 01:09:33.697
I was like, I don't know.
01:09:38.290 --> 01:09:40.027
Let me take y'all picture.
01:09:46.907 --> 01:09:48.490
[laughter]
01:09:52.224 --> 01:09:52.234
[singing] Happy birthday to you!
Wooooooo!
01:10:23.820 --> 01:10:27.383
I think they was arguing, and I think
his girlfriend,
01:10:27.383 --> 01:10:32.340
shot him, four times, in the house in
front of the kids.
01:10:51.157 --> 01:10:57.957
[Crying] Why?
01:10:57.957 --> 01:11:00.590
Oh my God. I love you sis.
01:11:40.350 --> 01:11:41.820
Send me the address.
01:11:41.820 --> 01:11:44.100
Oh, yeah, I forgot, I got to send you
the address.
01:11:44.100 --> 01:11:45.090
But I was just calling to check on
you.
01:11:45.660 --> 01:11:47.040
But I'm going to leave out in like 10
minutes.
01:11:49.200 --> 01:11:52.560
They want me to be there at 7.45am to
take a picture.
01:11:53.100 --> 01:11:54.880
Alright, let me hurry up.
01:11:55.020 --> 01:11:56.423
Try to get yourself together
01:11:56.423 --> 01:11:57.450
so we can get through this breakfast
thing.
01:11:58.500 --> 01:11:59.280
All right.
01:11:59.280 --> 01:12:00.000
All right ma, I love you.
01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:00.734
Love you.
01:12:08.240 --> 01:12:09.300
My baby.
01:12:09.300 --> 01:12:13.340
My baby. God damn! Why'd she do that?
01:12:13.624 --> 01:12:16.967
Mom, don't make me cry.
01:12:28.297 --> 01:12:30.663
No, it's really going to be ok.
01:12:30.813 --> 01:12:32.030
Oh god.
01:12:38.240 --> 01:12:40.377
Hello! Hi, how are you?
01:12:41.160 --> 01:12:42.653
The disrupters.
01:12:42.653 --> 01:12:42.690
You over there
01:13:01.130 --> 01:13:01.330
.
01:13:04.613 --> 01:13:05.767
Hi, I'm Alexis.
01:13:05.767 --> 01:13:07.720
I actually work for the college of
liberal arts.
01:13:14.540 --> 01:13:14.550
Congratulations.
01:13:14.550 --> 01:13:14.620
Thank you.
01:13:14.620 --> 01:13:14.630
I really appreciate it.
01:13:14.630 --> 01:13:14.640
This is my mom.
01:13:14.640 --> 01:13:16.033
I'm Crystal, too.
01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:24.960
For a special 30 under 30 issue of
the Temple magazine,
01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:28.290
we sought to identify young alumni
who are making waves
01:13:28.290 --> 01:13:30.120
in their careers and in their
communities.
01:13:31.020 --> 01:13:35.190
The selected 2019 honorees stood out
as exemplary among
01:13:35.190 --> 01:13:39.730
our esteemed group of more than
43,000 young Temple graduates.
01:13:39.730 --> 01:13:40.780
Wow.
01:13:41.400 --> 01:13:44.280
Kristal Bush was already making
regular trips to prisons
01:13:44.280 --> 01:13:46.830
to visit both her father and brother
and thought
01:13:46.830 --> 01:13:49.230
it mades sense to bring along others
who needed a ride.
01:13:49.710 --> 01:13:52.320
It reunited more than 600 families in
01:13:52.620 --> 01:13:58.140
2018. Kristal, your service greatly
impacts the lives of so many.
01:13:58.230 --> 01:13:59.790
Congratulations.
01:14:04.310 --> 01:14:06.027
One more!
01:14:11.543 --> 01:14:13.170
Ma, open your eyes!
01:15:07.110 --> 01:15:09.977
Alright, come on, we gotta go in
there for mommy. Gimmie a hug.
01:15:10.277 --> 01:15:12.087
It's hard, man.
01:15:12.087 --> 01:15:14.280
We're never going to see him again.
01:15:23.430 --> 01:15:26.700
Nyvae you alright? You want a hug
01:15:37.060 --> 01:15:39.370
? It's like we never have enough time
.
01:15:41.007 --> 01:15:42.700
And I'll be the first admit,
01:15:43.690 --> 01:15:46.196
all the community work, all that
church work,
01:15:46.196 --> 01:15:48.063
all that ministry work,
01:15:48.080 --> 01:15:49.240
it means nothing
01:15:49.240 --> 01:15:52.090
if you can't pick up the phone and
call your own family,
01:15:52.090 --> 01:15:53.740
and say I love you.
01:16:02.810 --> 01:16:04.160
The thing that I'm just asking God
is,
01:16:04.280 --> 01:16:05.660
What am I supposed to learn?
01:16:05.810 --> 01:16:07.160
What am I supposed to take from this?
01:16:07.160 --> 01:16:10.280
How am I supposed to move forward
from this and,
01:16:10.330 --> 01:16:12.607
now, keep my own family connected?
01:17:03.220 --> 01:17:09.327
I got a, umm, C in music, I got to B
in history.
01:17:09.327 --> 01:17:14.520
I got A+ in art and I got an A- in
science.
01:17:14.520 --> 01:17:16.840
But I passed, I passed 7th grade.
01:17:16.840 --> 01:17:18.430
I'm going to 8th grade.
01:17:20.607 --> 01:17:22.130
That's all my grades.
01:17:29.930 --> 01:17:31.317
Shirt.
01:17:51.437 --> 01:17:54.170
...Stop touching me... Chill!
01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:04.480
We are a couple minutes away.
01:18:06.013 --> 01:18:07.846
Away. Away away away!
01:18:11.213 --> 01:18:14.980
They're going to say, do you want to
be adopted?
01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:33.260
Tell your aunt I want her to start
teaching you
01:18:33.260 --> 01:18:33.270
the cities and the states, you heard
me?
01:18:42.210 --> 01:18:43.233
[laughter]
01:18:43.233 --> 01:18:46.493
Hey, my name is Nyvae, I'm about to
show you a video.
01:19:17.843 --> 01:19:19.709
Congratulations, kiddo.
01:19:19.709 --> 01:19:21.610
Thank you. Ok, appreciate it.
01:19:22.000 --> 01:19:22.766
Yes!
01:19:30.450 --> 01:19:34.020
Look at him. Ummm! We got him.
01:19:39.220 --> 01:19:41.071
It's official now.
01:19:46.960 --> 01:19:51.720
All right, Kristal, congratulations.
01:19:51.850 --> 01:19:51.860
Alright.
01:19:52.600 --> 01:19:54.340
Yes, do y'all see this?
01:19:54.340 --> 01:19:56.436
It's official. I got a son.
01:19:58.310 --> 01:20:00.080
Congratulations!
01:20:00.163 --> 01:20:01.406
Thank you.
01:20:03.220 --> 01:20:04.860
Wait, I just posted the picture,
01:20:04.860 --> 01:20:07.560
and I just received like so much love
.
01:20:07.560 --> 01:20:08.640
So, so much love.
01:20:08.640 --> 01:20:12.003
I think it's some closure that we
both needed.
01:20:12.470 --> 01:20:14.774
Because it really do take a village.
01:20:14.774 --> 01:20:19.153
I did not do this to... I know this
all serious for you, Nyvae.
01:20:19.320 --> 01:20:19.330
I'm listening.
01:20:19.330 --> 01:20:21.960
I didn't do this to, you know,
replace his parents.
01:20:21.960 --> 01:20:24.780
I didn't do this to change his name,
or anything like that.
01:20:24.780 --> 01:20:27.900
I really just did this because if I
wouldn't of never done it,
01:20:27.900 --> 01:20:30.840
He would have been lost in the
system, just because his parents were
01:20:30.840 --> 01:20:31.680
incarcerated.
01:20:32.910 --> 01:20:35.790
So, yeah, like, that's my baby.
01:20:36.210 --> 01:20:39.530
So I'm hype, because I got a son.
01:20:39.530 --> 01:20:41.640
A neph-son. Right, Nyvae?
01:20:42.000 --> 01:20:43.103
You got anything to say?
01:20:43.310 --> 01:20:44.300
Uh-uh.
01:20:44.910 --> 01:20:46.740
He's just still chill, laid back.
01:20:47.640 --> 01:20:50.633
But hey, y'all, hey!
01:20:58.350 --> 01:20:59.640
Where the hell he learn all this
from?
01:21:00.150 --> 01:21:01.500
I learned that in wellness class.
01:21:01.530 --> 01:21:02.790
All right. Let me lay down.
01:21:02.820 --> 01:21:03.270
Go ahead.
01:21:03.487 --> 01:21:05.237
Leave that on. Spa.
01:21:09.337 --> 01:21:10.980
Nyvae, this is what you watch
01:21:19.690 --> 01:21:20.573
? Hello?
01:21:20.723 --> 01:21:21.820
Hi, Kristal?
01:21:21.820 --> 01:21:22.510
Yes.
01:21:22.510 --> 01:21:25.106
Hi, I'm calling from SCI Phoenix.
01:21:25.230 --> 01:21:26.694
Yes, how are you doing?
01:21:26.694 --> 01:21:29.901
I'm good. Were you gonna be coming
by to pick up Victor?
01:21:30.190 --> 01:21:31.757
Yes, I'm 10 minutes away.
01:21:32.450 --> 01:21:34.011
Ok hun, when you get here
01:21:34.011 --> 01:21:34.021
just go into the entrance by the
flagpole.
01:21:36.171 --> 01:21:37.108
Ok.
01:21:37.623 --> 01:21:39.430
And then we'll send him right out.
01:21:39.430 --> 01:21:40.526
All right, thank you.
01:21:40.526 --> 01:21:41.730
Thank you.
01:21:41.733 --> 01:21:42.543
Bye bye.
01:21:42.593 --> 01:21:43.627
Bye bye.
01:22:35.173 --> 01:22:36.793
Nyvae, getting your first pass first
passport stamp!
01:22:37.970 --> 01:22:39.800
First passport stamp.
01:23:00.067 --> 01:23:01.253
As-Salaam-Alaikum
01:23:01.634 --> 01:23:02.384
Alaikum Salaam.
01:23:02.700 --> 01:23:02.710
Ooooo
01:23:18.640 --> 01:23:18.650
. [laughs]
01:23:18.663 --> 01:23:20.673
[Screaming]. I don't want to go on
this!
01:23:20.890 --> 01:23:22.940
I love rollercoasters, so, I'm not
bothered.
