YouTube interview (Mick Unplugged) featuring RJ Johnson describing his redemption journey and urging support for people in prison. RJ contrasts common charitable impulses (coats, food banks, homelessness) with the overlooked needs of incarcerated people, citing concrete prison-economy figures (average inmate pay and prices for basic items) to illustrate material hardship and to encourage visitation and service.

A lot of people in the community will say, well, those guys deserve what they got. And we made a choice. I made the choice. So a lot of people are like, yeah, how do I help? Support donating coats or food bank items or even homeless. Love it all. Go and help all of those, if that's what God is calling you to do. But it's really weird to get someone. They hear about this amazing journey and they love what God did in my life in prison. And then we were like, well, let's jump in here with me. Let's go and do this. Let's go and talk to some of these guys and let's donate and send some funds in. Because they make an average of $12 a month inside Nick, and they still have to spend $2 for deodorant, a dollar for a phone call and a stamp is still 50 cents. So all of those things, I say, it's harder for people to be like, I don't want to give my money to the people who deserve that. Single mothers, they don't deserve that. So I'm going to go there and again help them. But God also called us to help and serve and visit those in prison. That's the only reason why I'm out here. People answered the call. You visited me when I was in prison. And people are always like, jesus, when were you in prison?
