Meek Mill, Michael Rubin, and the Reform Alliance hosted a holiday shopping spree and VIP trip to a New England Patriots game for families adversely affected by the US probation system

, to put together a "once-in-a-lifetime" holiday experience on Saturday for families who have been adversely affected by the probation and parole systems in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.

Rubin said that Reform is currently focusing its energy in Pennsylvania, where the group has introduced plans for a bipartisan bill that will put limitations on how long Pennsylvanians can be on probation, prevent non-criminal probation violations from sending people to jail, and allow for those with good standing to get time off of their probation.

Minutes after Rubin and I spoke, the flight crew prepared for landing. The plane touched down in Warwick, Rhode Island, where two charter buses drove the day's attending children and families behind a police escort to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Michael Rubin with Meek Mill, Clara Wu Tsai, Caris LeVert, and DJ Khaled at the NBA Store in Manhattan.The day started off, though, with a shopping spree at the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Later, as the families started to shop, the Reform co-founders and their guests took turns speaking to the press before joining the families in their shopping. "Many people in Brooklyn and urban environments are in this endless cycle of incarceration, probation and parole, and often going back to prison for technical, non-criminal reasons," Wu Tsai said. "Criminal justice-reform, there are so many ways to contribute in this area. Reform Alliance is one. That is a long-term game because it's trying to change laws and policy, and we know that that's not easy.

Currently working in juvenile corrections in Pennsylvania, Allen told me he had seen both sides of the system, as he'd spent 20 years himself in the Pennsylvania state court system on probation and parole due largely to technical probation violations. We eventually pulled into Newark Airport, where a turn through an airplane hangar offsite of the terminal gave way to what was for the kids and their families a surprise reveal of the Patriots' private jet.
