Man creates jail as warning message to youth
In North Philadelphia, one man is trying to convey to youth the consequences of a life of crime. Michael Ta’Bon has created a makeshift jail to spread his message.
KYW reports Ta’Bon created the cell he sits in as a way to warn youth and their guardians what’s in store for them if they choose the wrong path. The wall behind him is painted with the names of murdered youth in the neighborhood.
Can we get one of these on every drug corner?
