He joined Gov. Josh Shapiro at Independence Mall Friday, where three criminal justice reform bills were signed into law. Meek, a Philadelphia native and co-chair of the REFORM Alliance, has longed advocated for prison reform as someone who has shuffled through the system. “I’m at a point in my life, like, we all grew up in the streets and we tried to be better but they labeled us felons, sent us back to jail,” he said. “I had to fight against that the whole time.”
