Meek Mill, Jay Z, and more launch the Reform Alliance, a program aimed at reforming the current prison probation structure. The goal of the program is to eliminate sending offenders who have turned their life around back to prison for longer than necessary on technicalities (i.e. Meek Mill popping a wheelie). In the US today, there are currently 4.5 million people on parole or probation. This alliance start by freeing at least 1 million of those people over the course of the next five years.
