Meek Mill knows a thing or two about the prison system, and is using his platform to issue a warning to any young men or women who might he headed down a path of destruction.
Taking to Instagram with a post from inside a jail cell on Wednesday (March 12), Meek sent a message to his young followers.
“To all the young bulls in the street … if you don’t know how to communicate with a lawyer about law… if you don’t have family support ..if you don’t have money to fight case or eat… the law library gonna scare you if you can’t read good!” he warned. “Imagine this being your toilet for the rest of your life … it’s rusty and it’s the same water you drink! If you got a chance to slide ‘leave that shit behind’ SAVE YOUR SELF THEN TRY TO HELP YOUR PEOPLES! THESE TOILETS FOR ‘HEATHENS ONLY!”
Peers and fans alike praised Meek for the important message in his comments, including The Game who wrote, “Tell blogs post this type of time !!!!”

Earlier this year, Meek Mill spoke out after seeing the video footage of prison inmate Robert Brooks being beaten by correctional officers shortly before his death.

Brooks’ death was ruled a result of “asphyxia due to compression of the neck”. It is not known what led to him being taken to the medical room.
Meek, who is very active in prison reform, hit out at the conduct seen in the video.
He wrote on X: “I never fully watched this til today … this what it is for Black men in America if you get caught without them cameras around. If you been to jail b4 you seen this with your own eyes!”
As a result of the incident, New York governor Kathy Hochul has announced the firing of 13 prison officers involved in the incident as well as one nurse.
