Last Wednesday night, critically acclaimed recording artist, G.O.O.D Music President and activist Pusha T presented a private screening with actor David Arquette for the Matthew Cooked-directed film “A Survivors Guide to Prison,” which is No. 1 on Amazon and in the Top 5 on iTunes, at Google in Washington D.C. to bring awareness to criminal justice reform.

Pusha attended the event with Tony Lewis Jr., a community activist and son of an ex kingpin, which involved a panel and open discussion to highlight the current issues surrounding the broken criminal justice system and bring awareness to the ongoing efforts on sentencing reform, bail reform, and re-entry. Members of the panel included “A Survivors Guide to Prison” director Matthew Cooke, producer David Arquette, Kevin Ring, President of Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM), Topeka K Sam of Van Jones’ #Cut50, activist Luis Cardona, and was moderated by former-President Obama White House Official Elias Alcantara.

About Survivors Guide To Prison: Following the stories of individuals who spent year after year in prison for crimes they didn’t commit – audiences get a harrowing look at how barbaric the US justice system is. The film ultimately asks how we can survive the prison model at all, and looks at better solutions for conflict resolution, harm reduction, crime and more. Hosted by filmmaker Matthew Cooke and guest hosting representatives from the massive range of Americans joining forces to change this broken system.
