Stepping inside a United States Prison

Well, here we are at the end of our journey through the United States, but not before we do one last important thing, and that's finally meet a man whose story we started telling three years ago.When I first decided to head to the US, I knew that I wanted to get inside a prison to be able to shake hands with someone whose story had affected me a lot. Now, of course, that list isn't short, but right near the top of that list was the story of Tariq Maqbool.From the very first letter we connected, and from there our friendship has grown, and we have been on quite the journey with Tariq. So my last stop on my trip was to New York City, just across the water from New Jersey. Tariq was being held in East Jersey State Prison, a prison that has stood since the 1800s, and today was the day I was going inside its walls.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.
