Taxstone: It's Almost Normal to Go to Jail in The Hood

Host of Tax Season podcast, Taxstone, spoke to DJ Vlad about doing a total of 7 years in prison for different crimes throughout the years. The on-air personality says he went to jail for shooting, robbery and things he's never done. "I did a couple bids for s*** I didn't do, but I did so much s***, I didn't even cry about it because it was like, I'm suppose to be doing life."
Check out the full interview above.

After losing almost all of my 20s from 18 to 29 in prison I can truly relate to everything Tax said in this video! And I must say in many ways I grew tremendously mentally in prison and in many ways my growth was stunted but I will say I realized that it is insane to be in prison working for 35 cents day and gain time but won't work for minimum wage in the free world. The hard truth is if you have a record out here you gonna have to either create your own lane occupationally or work like two ppl to attain the things you want and need out here bcuz this world is quite unforgiving. But I am proof that it can be done with discipline and determination, it's been 10 yrs for me being home and moving in a positive direction

FINALLY!!!!!! I've been saying this for years!! This is one of the most destructive things adults can do for children. Tell your children that some nameless, faceless group is out to get them simply because of the color of their skin. They will never succeed in that environment. Taxstone is telling you what that did to him. Now the real question is, when are parents going to stop teaching their children this?

[@NikoBased]

***** The problem is, there are already laws on the books that prevent the state, police, federal government, employers and other citizens from committing acts of racism. So instead of instilling fear into children in regards to acts of racism that haven't even happened yet, teach your kids how to go about prosecuting acts of racism. Because right now we have a massive epidemic of folks complaining about things that haven't even happened yet.

[@LSDAPROMC]

History speaks for itself.. it's not a nameless/faceless group.. if you aren't living it don't speak on it

[@volnaramone2321]

The saddest thing about this is that it's still true. He reminded me of the one scene in Menace to Society when he went to prison and was like it's like a rite of passage to go to jail. The sad thing is that it's just a home away from home for a lot of brothers. Institutionalized. Nas said it best "What's jail to rehabilitate/ or to make a nigga worse when he come home to catch another case." Thanx for shedding more light this situation Tax. It ain't got no better since the 80s. Man this is sad but it's sooooo true.

[@rmanS2C]

tax basically saying he caught a body. "I should be doing life"

[@LSDAPROMC]

@@underwaterlady huh

[@s4mp_founder]

To negate that statement. No one in the hood is looking to go to jail, when you have the police heavily presence in your neighborhood for all the wrong reasoning particularly to put in you jail. There are some people who grow irrelevant to the fear of being arrested and put in prison.

[@Temujin18S]
