“American business magnate, Russell Simmons, co-founder of Def Jam Recordings and founder of the pre-paid card company, RushCard, is attempting to do something about it through his ‘Keep the Peace’ initiative. ‘We’re going to fund [successful] anti-violence programs in communities, which I think is very important.’ ‘When we talk about the mass incarceration of young people,’ says Simmons, ‘and we think about the number of non-violent, first-time offenders who are in jail for drug offenses… that’s a different subject. We’re talking about the cost to the consumer or the taxpayer, but we’re not talking about the profit to the prison industrial complex.'”
