Jay Z and Meek Mill join forces to call for US prison reform

Jay and Meek have helped launch a criminal justice reform organisation aimed at reducing the number of people in American jails.
Reform Alliance is putting $50m (£38m) toward “disabling the revolving door of probation and parole”.
Speaking at the launch, Jay said: “We want to be very clear – if someone commits a crime they should go to jail but these things are just disproportionate and the whole world knows it.”

According to civil rights group, the NAACP, black Americans are jailed at a rate of five to one in comparison with white American offenders.
Mill – who real name is Robert Williams – was recently released from prison for parole violation stemming from drug and possession charges in 2008.
His conviction sparked a national conversation, with many high profile celebs calling for his release.
“I’m here to speak for all the people who don’t have a voice,” he said.
