Meek Mill’s case picked up mainstream attention when he was sent back to jail in November 2017 by Judge Genece E. Brinkley, who has presided over his fate since first sentencing him in 2008. 

…It was big news when Brinkley sentenced Meek Mill to a shocking two to four years for parole violations, both of which stemmed from incidents in which charges were eventually dropped or dismissed—in one, the rapper had popped a wheelie on a motorcycle while filming a music video in New York City.

…And it’s why Meek Mill might be suited more than any other public figure to accomplish what he has planned next: a criminal justice reform organization tasked with liberating “1 million people unjustly caught in the criminal justice system.” Meek Mill and Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin are cochairmen; Jay-Z and Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, make up the executive board.
