The BreakOUT tours mission is to create a conversation, bringing together the stakeholders, kids, parents, teacher, educators, counselors, legislators, criminal justice system, police depts, judges, lawyers, and concerned citizens in local communities to think about the future of the future and revinventing society and the prison of the mind that leads to the prison of the body and mind that gets kids who are at risk down the road into knocking on your door, into trouble and into prison too – we will look at issues and actions in an intimate relaxed conversational salon type setting mixed with original music and talk. – please listen to 15 min example of what a typical evening conversation might look like (below or) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSd5FaJY0bo – I recorded and edited a collage song medely excertped from our conversation – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPaylZqMNQg
