Given the trouble and issues Meek had because of his probation, which led to his time in jail, he is turning into a champion for change. While on his latest trip to Ellen Degeneres’ talk show, Meek continued to speak on the importance of prison reform, and the system set up many are placed in.

“A lot of people would see somebody [and say] ‘Oh, he violated probation,’ but it could have been loitering at Starbucks, it could have been anything,” Mill told DeGeneres “Police contact is a violation [of probation]. So, a lot of people would say ‘Oh, he belongs in jail.’ But I didn’t commit a crime.”

Meek continued to discuss how he found out he was being released.

“I was watching the news and [seeing] ‘Meek Mill is up for bail,’” said Meek, who was eating rice and mackerel fish when he decided to turn on the tv. “I dropped my food and jumped up in the air and I was leaving 10 minutes later… A lot of these things don’t make sense and everybody knows they don’t make sense but nobody focuses on changing the system,” he said, later shouting out those who are currently locked up and feeling “voiceless.
