Jesse Jackson Sr. visited the Cook County Jail Saturday morning to speak to a gymnasium filled with inmates. “I want you all to plan to get out,” Jackson said.
Cook County inmates join in on a prayer led by The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Jan. 21, 2023 at the Cook County Department of Corrections in Chicago.
Jackson was at first seated as he spoke, but rose to ask detainees to promise to care for their families, focus on leaving jail, get training for jobs and stay away from guns. “Behind these cinder blocks, there is good news for those who are poor and locked up: You won’t be here long,” he said. The warm messages stuck with 23-year-old Paul Jones, who is incarcerated at the jail ahead of a February trial.

They have, they know, so much to be grateful for and yet can't seem to rise above their superficial differences.
