End of Day 1, ‘O.G.,' mostly questions - after several trips to Pendleton over the last year-or-so, observing, listening, exchanging, rehearsing, today, we started filming. First time a cell door locked behind me (not my first experience with that, I say with some regret), my mind flashed on Mandela and then on some of the men I've encountered here - lotta alphas males in this place. Why would such men follow the path to this prison? Different but related question: why would a society jail Nelson Mandela? Easy. Because he threatens that society’s unnatural imbalance of power - an alpha male from the bottom, armed with an educated mind and with an eye on righting social inequities sticking him and his peers to the underside of an oppressive boot. But these men at Pendleton are not Mandela - never developed the necessary tools even to aspire toward Mandela. Fault lies with them....but not entirely. 'How many of you finished high school?' 3 hands out of 30 go up. Never educated - at best, miseducated - as to how empower themselves, be good sons, nurture families and build productive, lasting futures - smart, forceful, charismatic, even ambitious men who never contributed to society what they were innately capable of contributing but were drawn to the street game, with its massive potholes that drop straight into the black hole that is a maximum security prison. How is that productive for America? Does keeping these men underdeveloped and then out of circulation benefit anyone? Maybe a few (who?), but not the many. So how and when do we undo this drag on our country’s well-being by expanding proper education and opportunity for the great numbers of young people (and the unborn) who are following these men down the path to this place? Do we want to?
