It’s a staggering number to realize that America holds 25% of the world’s incarcerated individuals yet only makes up 4% of the population. With currently 2.5 million people locked up and millions more on some kind of parole, there is a clear need that something needs to give way.
Designed Conviction LLC, a social enterprise, is dedicated to bridging the gap between the incarcerated and society while providing a platform for positivity and productivity to flourish. With a mission to unlock the talents of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals, Designed Conviction Entertainment recently signed a deal through Universal Music Group, Empire Distribution for their music label.

Unlike any other president in recent times, President Joe Biden’s promises to Americans were immediate: 100 million shots in the first 100 days; a COVID-19 stimulus bill in the first 100 days; immediate action to repair America’s future. So far, he’s done what he said he would. Last week, the US crossed the threshold of 100 million vaccine doses in the arms of Americans, with almost 27 percent of adults having received at least one dose. While the Biden administration set the goal of administering one million doses a day, it has doubled that rate. On March 12, according to the White House, it nearly tripled that rate. And Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package, even if it is not the prudent financial approach for a nation already bouncing back, has already yielded checks in the pockets of Americans, just as the president promised. Now, for Biden, comes the hard part: Finding a new challenge to surmount. In some respects, the first 100 days of the Biden administration were always going to be the easiest. Steven Arthurs
Rhode Island small businesses have struggled to get through a historic economic downturn brought on by the coronavirus. We are just now getting to a point where we can see a light at the end of the tunnel. The last thing we need now are more burdens. Unfortunately, the state legislature is considering a new tax on beverages that will hurt working families, small businesses and their employees hardest. |
