In the segment, Meek Mill explains how an arrest at 19 years old put him on probation for his entire adult life and why he teamed up with Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin to reform the criminal justice system.

In his first television interview since being released from prison, rapper Meek Mill tells NBC News' Lester Holt: “I think we always been divided in America where it's always black and white. I don't really call it black and white. A lot of black people are in prison, a lot of Spanish men are in prison. A lot of these laws and policies are made to keep most of these minorities trapped forever.” Mill adds, “I had eight years of probation that turned to 16 years of probation. Something is not working. I'm still doing time for that case.” To watch the preview, click here, and the transcript of the excerpt is provided below.
