Meek Mill<\/a> offers an in-depth look at the years he spent battling an unfair system in the new trailer for Free Meek<\/em>, the new Jay-Z-produced<\/a> docuseries<\/a> set to premiere August 9th on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n

Meek Mill was arrested in 2008 on drug and gun charges, and his subsequent conviction earned him an eight month prison sentence, plus five years years of probation. But various low-level violations prolonged Meek\u2019s probationary sentence, and in 2017 he was hit with another two to four years in prison<\/a> for a pair of non-violent offenses. Meek Mill\u2019s case soon became a point of focus for criminal justice reform advocates, and, following his release from prison<\/a>, the rapper took up that mantle<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

The new trailer for Free Meek<\/em> offers a look at the suspect circumstances surrounding Meek Mill\u2019s arrest, conviction and years on probation, including allegations that his arresting officer gave false testimony and the questionable behavior of Judge Genece Brinkley, who long oversaw the rapper\u2019s case. It also looks at Meek Mill\u2019s recent work as a criminal justice reform advocate and shows how Meek\u2019s case is ultimately indicative of thousands of others affecting people of color around the country.<\/p>\n
