"If you ever put money on someone's commissary account in St. Louis City jails, then you have contributed to the $17.8 billion dollars in revenue that Enterprise Holdings earned last year." - Roslyn Brown

"My experience being in jail was in the City of St. Louis at the Workhouse. The reason why I am out here today is to speak for my people and the people in the conditions that I was in, and see if [Taylor] is going to make the decision to change them...It's 20cents for a pack of ramen noodles; in there it's $1.50 for a pack of ramen noodles. My time dealing with the penitentiary -- I was incarcerated. I had to work; if I didn't work they would put me in the hole. My whole work's pay was $5/month. We are calling [Taylor] out, exposing him for the things that he isn't doing for our community. He is extracting from the community, and that affects us and our generation that's in front of us." - Frankie Edwards
