The few who see it for what it is.

There are a few organizations that see this for what it is and are reaching out with supporting hands and helpful words. They also have Concern on how the FBI cultivated a plot for one year in the most economical depressed areas in the country. These individuals feel that if we start addressing the real issues, like justice and equality for individuals re-entering back into society.
An initiative like Visions Beyond the Walls will help with the safety and successful reconnection's back into communities. This program will help with the capacity to deliver effective services to their reentry population as well as meet standards of performance and accountability.
In New York state 93 percent of incarcerated people are black and Latino. The majority come from New York city. The city's seven most impoverished neighborhoods are Harlem, the South Bronx, the Lower East side Bed ford-Stuyvesant, Jamaica, East New York, Ocean hill and Brownsville. It's extraordinarily difficult for black and Latinos with a prison recorder to establish themselves once they leave prison.
A Princeton University sociology released a study in 2005 that showed how it is easy for a white male with criminal conviction to get a job in New York city than it would be for a black male with a record. Another study states that 46 percent of black males in New York are unemployed.
The crisis of recidivism has become increasingly dire, as men and woman with criminal convictions have few if any prospects for employment, housing, and emotional support when they leave prison. Nationwide approximately 630,000 individuals reenter the community each month and within three years they are incarcerated.
Vision Beyond the Walls wants to be that model that will help with employment as individuals come home. We know the deck of cards are stacked against them. They encounter guilt, lack of education and lack of skills. Despite there efforts to make a better life for themselves.
Vision Beyond the Walls is strongly needed in Newburgh!!!

Looking at the real issues

Has the community got so blinded that we don't look at social issues that effects our communities. I have been listening to so many opinions people being so judgemental, calling them dirt bags, scum bags and low life's. The Newburg four wasn't angels people said, but, I say neither was the informant and the FBI. everyone is looking at what was done and has over looked the scenario created that has been created by the government to place fear in a community. I still have to ask how did they pick a small mosque in Newburg to enlist individuals? Why not the mosque in Harlem? Why not the Mosque in Brooklyn? better yet why did he not stake out the Jewish Temple. Now I am not wishing this on these places but one must ask the hidden questions. It is stated that the informant staked out the Newburg mosque for as long as two years to entice a violent plot. Will we hear how this was initiated? I do doubt that they will play the tape of the informant speaking on the plot. To tell you the truth they might cut and paste the recording to fit the case.
The real question is how did it come to this? Why would the FBI target the Jewish community? And to the Jewish community I feel you are victims as well as my family.You are being used in a dangerous game that is shaking your community. Scaring your families, making you feel as if people are out to bring destruction to you and your beliefs.Our own government is creating wolves to send your way, ask yourself who are the masterminds?Why would the government want you afraid? They are leaving you with the distorted image of fellow Americans.
