Taylor has a discussion with Bryan Gaver who he and his wife had recently hired to film a candlelight vigil that took place on January 20th in Washington state to support those that are serving life without parole, sentenced to die in prison. During this event Bryan was enlightened to facts he was completely unaware of.
Did you know that Washington, like many other states, does not offer prisoners parole? There are no chances offered to those who have been rehabilitated to earn their freedom and become a member of society. Bryan, like many people, was unaware of this fact. Taylor and Bryan discuss how a major problem wrong with our society is that people are simply unaware of these issues, they have no idea that it costs 30-70 thousand per year to house a single inmate across the United States, and it us, the taxpayers that are paying for this.
They go on to elaborate what could possibly change by spreading awareness to the masses and a better way to spend our tax dollars on our prisoners that will approve the prisons, society, and cost taxpayers less and less instead of costs consistently increasing.
Taylor has a documentary in the works that Bryan will be filming, it will help spread awareness in hopes that like Bryan, when people become aware, they will be happy to support reform which will lead to positive changes.
