Jay-Z and Meek Mill’s REFORM Alliance has passed a historic global resolution with the United Nations to protect the rights of people that are leaving prison and are on either probation or parole.

A press release confirms that the REFORM Alliance, in partnership with Costa Rica and a coalition of 120 different organizations from 49 different countries, has the unanimous adoption of a UN resolution that clarifies the human rights of people that are returning to society after incarceration.

This resolution contains concrete steps for different governments to make safer, more inclusive communities that focus on supporting entry, reducing the stigma of being incarcerated, and promoting inclusion on an economic level.

This resolution began more than two years ago with a joint statement from 74 countries that was revealed during last year’s Human Rights Council. A global study of effective practices was then published earlier this year, leading to negotiations that ultimately led to the unanimous adoption of it today.

Speaking for the press release, Kim Kardashian, an outspoken advocate for criminal justice reform, said of the resolution: "Too often, people coming out of prison or on supervision are treated as outcasts–their potential overlooked and their humanity ignored. This resolution, sponsored by Costa Rica and a diverse group of countries around the world, is a powerful declaration that no one is disposable and every person deserves human rights and a second chance. I’m proud to support REFORM Alliance and the coalition of advocates as they lead this global effort to ensure governments worldwide enact real change that lifts up those working to rebuild their lives."

Jay-Z and Meek Mill announced the launch of the REFORM Alliance organization in 2019. The organization was inspired by Meek’s battles with the law and is dedicated to reforming parole and probation policies. The list of the group’s founding partners include 76ers owner Michael Rubin, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Nets co-owner Clara Wu Tsai, hedge fund manager and investor Daniel Loeb, cryptocurrency titan Michael Novogratz, and Vista Equity Partners founder Robert Smith.
 
Do what you gotta do if placed in them type situations, but other than that stay the fuck out the streets if you ain’t gotta be out there!
 
From the PR post, sounds like its just a marketing. Nothing concrete was passed, it was just an oral agreement that ex-cons should be treated better. And them patting themselves on the back for doing that
